Re: The lost tomb of Jesus? Scientist claims he has 'virtually unequivocal evidence'
Wow, now that's a new twist, eyewitness accounts differing being offered up as proof!! And what "evidence" outside of the bible is there that he existed. Two historians that would have been his contemporaries, Philo of Alexandria and Josephus failed to mention a guy healing the sick, raising the dead, and feeding throngs with a couple fish and a few loaves of bread. (Of course the "Complete Works of Josephus" have an after thought paragraph that mention him quite in passing, lol. )
I think there is no question that Jesus the human being existed. there is nothing wrong with admitting that no matter what you think of him being the messiah. I think there is just as much proof that he existed as there is that Alexander the Great or Aristotle existed. in order to believe there was some conspiracy to "create" Jesus you would have to believe something along the lines of a 9/11 conspiracy theory. there are too many impossibilities to consider. If the disciples conspired together why wouldn't all of their historical accounts be exactly the same instead of having sometimes huge differences in their stories about Jesus. it just doesn't make sense from the start.
