re: #103 Anti-Pope of Darwinism

While it is much more irrational to deny evolution than historical Jesus, a comparison at some level can be made. For example, like creationists, mythicists try to explain away the evidence for the more probable hypothesis.

I’m not sure that there is much evidence to deny in this case, which is why I make a strong distinction here with creationism. My view however is that Jesus most likely is based on a real person, as there doesn’t seem to have been any shortage of self proclaimed prophets in those (or any other) times. Complete invention would seem to be redundant.
