Well, that's gravity for you, Cossomby :)

Dear Cossomby,

That's the first time I have ever heard a knucklehead called a lovely engineer.

Dear Foxy,

If you find science interesting (which I also do to the point of seeing it as the compliment of Arts) then you might find this question interesting as well:

Why will science never be able to find the origin of the universe?

Hi Mr Opinion,

Perhaps because there wasn't one. We've had an infinite number of big bangs - expansion and contraction of the universe, each cycle taking, say, fifty billion years or so. So probably we've had an infinite numbers of Earths, and an infinite number of yous. And mes.

Cheers,

Joe

Dear Loudmouth,

Sorry, wrong answer.

Dear Mr Opinion,

Jesus stood on the shoulders of others. He was a Jew, and took his sayings from the Jewish Bible.

A key example:

LEV 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

Many New Testaments cite references to the Jewish Bible at the bottom of the pages.

Eliminate quotes from the Jewish Bible from the sayings of Jesus, and there isn't much left for him to say. He stood on the shoulders of others much more than Newton. However, in contrast, Newton was modest.

The Golden Rule was standard for most faiths. The mythology surrounding Jesus was derived from the pagan faiths of his time:

From Pagan & Christian Creeds, by Edward Carpenter

There were Temples without end dedicated to gods like Apollo or Dionysus among the Greeks, Hercules among the Romans, Mithra among the Persians, Adonis and Attis in Syria and Phrygia, Osiris and Isis and Horus in Egypt, Baal and Astarte among the Babylonians and Carthaginians, and so forth.

...

I cannot of course go at length into these different cults, but I may
say roughly that of all or nearly all the deities above-mentioned it was said and believed that:

(1) They were born on or very near our Christmas Day.

(2) They were born of a Virgin-Mother.

(3) And in a Cave or Underground Chamber.

(4) They led a life of toil for Mankind.

(5) And were called by the names of Light-bringer, Healer, Mediator,
Savior, Deliverer.

(6) They were however vanquished by the Powers of Darkness.

(7) And descended into Hell or the Underworld.

(8) They rose again from the dead, and became the pioneers of mankind to the Heavenly world.

(9) They founded Communions of Saints, and Churches into which disciples were received by Baptism.

(10) And they were commemorated by Eucharistic meals.

Carpenter’s book is available on the net. Eliminate the pagan mythology and the references to the Jewish Bible from the New Testament, and there is little left of the Gospels.
