The fact is scientific research, and not right wing mysticism, has determined there is no Nazareth. Without taking a specific position on the existence of Nazareth, you haven't presented any proof. You have called its existence in to question, showing that some accounts of cities and towns in the area from around that time do not mention Nazareth, but that wouldn't be called scientific proof even if it might be reasonable cause for skepticism (assuming your info is accurate, I haven't really been involved in this debate so I haven't looked at all the claims and links from either side in detail).

>The fact is scientific research, and not right wing mysticism, has determined there is no Nazareth. Deal with it! I was talking to a buddy of mine who has a Master's in Divinity from Harvard... he said that while there's no archaeological evidence that Jesus ever existed, there are several apocryphal Gospels (such as Thomas) that were written very soon after Jesus' death, and they're surprisingly consistent when it comes to some details about Jesus, and thus he is led to believe that Jesus actually existed. Having said that, all he says that he thinks is true about the Jesus story is that he was some sort of theological rebel and was possibly crucified. He thinks that most of the rest was made up. -Z
