The Historical Reliability of the New Testament

[robvalue]

Here's a quick recap of my unanswered questions:

1) Why should I believe what some guys 2000 years ago believed, regarding things that have never even been demonstrated as possible, just because they wrote it down? They experienced something, and all we have is their attempts to describe it. Why should I think unprecedented supernatural events is a more likely explanation than them being mistaken, which happens all the time? This is giving them the benefit of the doubt that they weren't hallucinating, or just making stuff up. That's a lot to concede so I'm really helping you out.

2) If your 10 most trusted comrades told you God just talked to them and you must all become Muslims, would you do it?
