in existence at its time Rome, the very same that put him to the cross later Bowed to him... Thousands witnessed his Miracles and converted on the spot... and this is all recorded historically... unlike many religions around the globe, this was witnessed and recorded... yet you refuse to believe it... But you are so quick to jump on the bandwagon and believe what a scientist postulated... a theory that requires as much if not more faith to believe

in a Man as if he has all the answers....
