Not laughing, just puzzled. About the evidence, Ben Davis and others have it exactly right. It's no more compelling that the Gospels themselves, less so because it's written even later. I just have a hard time imagining anyone converting involuntarily, as it were, based on such evidence.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
