> George: The idea is that the story of the actual Jesus

> because 70 is a mystic number derived from the precession of the equinoxes.-The only defect I can see in this video presentation is the discussion by Josephus. If Jesus lived at the time Josephus was a young boy as is curently presumed, Josephus knew of him through stories he heard later on in Josephus' life. This would place Jesus at the earlier age now thought true with the birth of Jesus at about 4BCE and death at 29 CE. Josephus never saw Jesus alive. The entry in Josephus may be a forgery. There is no archeological proof of Jesus. The ossuary of James, his brother, is also thought to be a fake. Christianity is always to be taken on faith. Judaism survived despite this side story, and still does not accept any of the Christian beliefs. And modern Judaism understands that Genesis is to be read figuratively, no talking snakes. Lord Sachs explains that well in his debate with Dawkins.
