I don't know why you would wonder whether or not I question the historical fact of Jesus. I wrote 2,000 years, no Jesus, so I obviously and clearly accept the historical fact that there was a Jesus 2000 years ago.

My post was to point out the absurdity of an argument based on the premise that the theory of evolution is wrong based on the fact that there have been no demonstrable instances of evolutionary changes in the past 150 years, yet, we all have an unyielding faith that in spite of a two thousand year-long wait, Jesus will return.

So, if we are to discard the notion of evolution based on the lack of evidentiary facts spanning a period of 150 years to support it, then how do we believe the reality of Jesus, when we have an even longer period of time lacking the same evidentiary facts?

That's the primary difference between the words "faith" and "science", and the twain should never meet in either a classroom or a place of worship.

For the life of me, I do NOT see your reach between apples and oranges here.
Jesus lived 2000 years ago and since He has not come back yet, then evolution must be true? What connection ARE you attempting here?
