It is only reasonable because you believe it. It seems utterly unreasonable to me and millions of other people. History gets less and less reliable as you go back in time. It is indeed a matter of faith and I have no confidence in HIStory whatsoever.

Gregg ...just how old do you think the story of a man feeding the multitudes with a few fish and loaves of bread is? If you guessed over 2500 years ...you are just starting getting warm. regards ;-)

We make educated, "FAITH" decisions that effect our lives every day. Getting on a plane, eating at a restaurant, stepping on the brakes. That's called probability, not faith. Faith is when you believe something you have no reason to believe. Now if you were to say that you believe because there's less risk in believing than in not believing and that you just don't want to take the chance that St. Peter will be waiting for you on the other side, that I could relate to. When you argue about guards and bodies and the accuracy of old books, it sounds like you're trying to establish probability, which is different from faith. Karen
