"This should be interesting. I must say I am quite surprised at what you are suggesting as counter-evidence up to this point. UFO related gospels? I wonder what historical authenticity we should ascribe to this idea, and how to substantiate it. I am surprised from my initial readings that you are sceptical about the historical authenticity of gospel literature, but prefer to believe in the authenticity of this kind of work."

I am afraid there is a misunderstanding. The site intended to show a (misplaced) basis for certain gospel assertions. We are not disputing the historicity of gospel writings; we are relating them to other historical documents. The point is that the gospel writings depend from prior material rather than from historical fact.

That anyone with any semblance of an open mind could be confused on this account beggars belief. Especially when it is considered that history is ABSOLUTELT SILENT on these "events". Occam's razor comes into play here. Nobody who knew Jesus wrote about Jesus...because Jesus is a composite invention. And why would a true seeker of truth choose Jesus over Mohammed...or over a thousand other myths? WHY? Just because of your parents and your culture or the happenstance of birth and erudition?
