Of course the claims made about Genghis and Jesus are spectacular in spectacularly different ways.
One of them seems to have conquered much of eurarasia .. something a human being could conceivably do given a large enough army.
The other is said to have been born of a virgin, walked on water, performed alchemy by turning water to wine, cured leprosy, risen from the dead and lived a life of outstanding empathy. Only the last of these is something a human could conceivably do. The rest are the sorts of claims for which exceptional evidence would be required. If the only surviving evidence are some recorded stories then they should be located at the library in the same section where the exploits of Hercules and Thor are shelved.
