YAH!!! EUPHEMISMS!!!! are you gravitationally inclined?!?! I'm melanin deficient. (see, i'm white so i get a "deficient" thing.) There are times for tact and then there is real life. If someone is going to be offended by being called anything but a singular week word they should ware it around their pissed-off necks. while the rest of us can go on in life noticing the differences in our cultures and appreciating and finding out more about them. Toleration is not how "world peace" is to be made, it is understanding. Get a life.
And truly, what exacting proof is there either way? The man Jesus of Nazareth did exist and is documented by the Romans of the time. The dead sea scrolls are without many, if any, differences when compared to the present day versions. The greek new testament is word for word from what historical evidence we have. But science has changed every day sense it was actually explored. the original purpose of science was to explore the way that God did. To be the moderate, since has not disproved God's existence and the Bible, Koran (or however you want to spell it) and the Torah say nothing that discounts the scientific findings of the times. Don't discount anything even if it has the possibility of screwing up your beliefs.
Ok... so what will it entail? The science of burning candles? The ability for lamp oil (i forget if it was a lamp or candle) to last for 8 days? The physics of Passover? Flying Reindear and fat immortal men are a lot more fun to screw with. Of all the things that are mentioned in the book, most are not truly Christian. Don't be offendable. It is immiture.
