Even if Jesus existed, Jesus is not a model for reality. Coming back to life is a zero probability event. See hospital records for Christians coming back to life after massive prayer. Prayer doesn't work for zero probability events.

There's a excellent track record for previous unknowns proven to have natural explanations. Ex: Lightning, planet orbits, germ theory. There's a pitiful track record for previous unknowns proven to have supernatural explanations. Ex: Demon possession, sinners get sick, witches.

Doesn't matter what skills one has, people are capable of having no good reasons as to why to believe in a God(of the bible). The practice of having no good reasons for why to believe in a God can open the door to the practice having no good reasons to think other things. Such as having no good reason to kill and harm others. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_trials Christian engineers are ridiculous in using strong reason for electronics but use weak reason for why to believe in a God. -- D from BC British Columbia |
