Yep. I've always said, even even none of it were true, and Jesus were just a regular guy, it still isn't a bad way to live one's life. As long as we understand that science uses facts to makes presumptions, and that is totally a separate thing from faith. That way, we don't drive our neighbor nutty with the scripture screaming. Makes it easier to have a peaceful dialog and debate too!

"even even none of it were true,"

Dang, I've got to proofread.

A little bit of an overstatement. Science does more rigorous checking than other things--but on the other hand, with historical figures, you're always going to be more limited in what you can check.

On an offbeat note, try reading J.R.R. Tolkein's essays Tree and Leaf and On Fairy Stories...

Cheers!
