But what most religions are basing their whole exsistance on is this one book. This one account of how things went down.
Our recording ability and accuracy is far far FAR superiour than that of people 2000 years ago, yet I do agree that it's not perfect. There's always that human element. But you can look back at records and find that days temperature, and when the last time it rained before 9/11. That's fact, it's not just someones impression of the day and when they last remembered rain and then that info was passed on and on and on and lost and changed and regained and lost and changed.
Without a doubt Jesus lived, walked the earth... spread his teachings and beleived he was there to spread the word of god. many people followed his teachings because they beleived that what he was saying was true. He did alot of good to the world. those are the facts( and mnay more)... now pen and teller can go and pick on different passges in the bible and prove them wrong but they are missing the point...they are not seeing the big picture if you will.
If in 2000 years we open books and looke at 9/11 one book might say it was a dc9 the other a 737 (just an example dont pick on that). if we look at those differences does it mean that it didnt happen at all... no we just proved that there are differences between what kind of plane is belleives to have crashed in the towers.
even if someone proves that the whole bible is bullshit does that mean that god doesn't exist? 1 has little to do with the other. jesus did live, there is no doubt about that, even the Quran says he did...
