Is that true?  The Holy Bible is indeed the main record of the man, and a large and often well-authenticated book it is, but it is pretty much the only source.  (I'm not for a second denying that record).  But surely Adolf Hitler, Ronald Reagan or even Britney Spears would have had tens of thousands of different texts about them, by tens of thousands of different witnesses - far more than Christ?  I don't disagree with the intention of your point, but there's probably a better, more accurate way to phrase the same point that doesn't contain factual inaccuracies.  [[User:Billabong|Billabong]] 15:52, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

:Yes, it's true. Where did you get the idea that the Bible was the only source? The [[Rome|Roman]] historians [[Seneca]], [[Tacitus]], and [[Pliny the Younger]] all talk about Him, His followers, or both. And don't forget [[Flavius Josephus]], either, and remember that he didn't follow Christ himself; he just reported on those who did.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 16:01, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

I see that this article specifically talks about six 24 hour days. You will be aware that there are other interpretations which count the "days" as being a thousand years long or longer.  Would it be appropriate for me to add something bout this?  I understand that we're intended to edit rather than talk, but I wouldn't want to start off with a bad edit or simply have my entry reversed.  thank you.[[User:Tolerance|Tolerance]] 16:33, 13 April 2008 (EDT)
