No one is doubting that Mohammed ever existed, though. The Resurrection of Jesus is doubted, and the mere existence of Jesus is sometimes doubted...and the issue that was raised is the question of how could a man like Jesus do so much yet so little was written about him by the people of that time...and my point is, apparently everything played out the way it should have been, with Christianity being the world's #1 religion by number of followers...so newspaper articles, interviews, television appearances, and front page covers of Jesus was not needed because more people follow Jesus than any other person in history.

It would only be a fallacy if my claim was "Christianity has the most followers, therefore, Christianity is true". I neither said nor implied that. I was making the point that Jesus didn't need all of the glitz and glamour that comes with popularity that other historical figures have enjoyed, and he is still the most celebrated man til this day.

That is Crusade stuff...that has nothing to do with current 11-8-2014 stuff. No one today is getting tortured, beaten, killed, persecuted, etc..for believing in Christianity today. So why the hell is it still the #1 religion by number of followers?

It was all based on the legacy of just one man..and in that "legacy" includes this man's works.

Ok, then I'd like you to make a video refutation of the video of Vilenkin presenting the theorem to an attentive audience at which he repeated demonstrated why the theorem proves that inflationary universes had a beginning.
Until you can do that, please...stop.
