The German Bible Society declares that it owns the copyright of the TV series, even though it hasn't been made yet. They also claim trademark over "alpha", "omega" and any conjunction equivalent to "and/und/et/atque..." connecting them.

If we're going to have wild imaginary suggestions, please try to make them interesting. Hmm?

Too much atheism reads like it was written by someone really boring, and with toothache.

And too much theism reads like it was written by someone really crazy, and with a brain tumor.

There are thousands of other websites that would appeal to your Christian world view, but for some reason you'd rather come here and be offended. Why is that?

Ummmm one of your team opened the Jesus wrote the gospel op. Maybe your side should, i don't know take a time out and punt because your quaterback (SM) seams to be throwing the wrong way and his reciever (FI) is running towards the wrong endzone. Not exactly your sides best and brightest. they do more harm than good and will open more people to how ludicris belief in the supernatural is.

Sometimes the truth is boring. But that's OK.

Perhaps the gospels were recovered by Constantine
from the burning wreckage of a 4th century UFO?

BBC NEWS ARTICLE

Quote:

.... small, circular Cratere del Sirente in central Italy. It is clearly an impact crater, Ormo says, because its shape fits and it is also surrounded by numerous smaller, secondary craters, gouged out by ejected debris, as expected from impact models.

Radiocarbon dating puts the crater's formation at about the right time to have been witnessed by Constantine and there are magnetic anomalies detected around the secondary craters - possibly due to magnetic fragments from the meteorite.

According to Ormo, it would have struck the Earth with the force of a small nuclear bomb, perhaps a kiloton in yield. It would have looked like a nuclear blast, with a mushroom cloud and shockwaves.

It would have been quite an impressive sight and, if it really was what Constantine saw, could have turned the tide of the conflict.

That I think is much more likely than Constantine and Eusebius inventing Xianity. Constantine could have claimed that it is some sign of divine favor.
