Religious belief is all about faith. This issue is minor when one cosiders the fact that there is no historical Jesus who is the cornerstone of Christianity.

Trying to prove the veracity of what we believe is basically a losing proposition. When I asked Dr. Lawrence Geraty if there was any archeological evidence of the antediluvian period, he said there wasn't. I believe it anyway because I choose to believe.

This is like trying to prove God exists. You can't prove it either way. So let it be. Matter of fact, the harder one tries to prove what they believe, it gives the impression that one isn't sure themselves?

Good point Alex. The only way I can think that God can be proven is the way we live our lives for him. But even than its still a matter of Faith.
