Such brash positioning is evidence that a person is so stuck in their anti-christian Most of the people I love are Christians. I just think it is ridiculous to confuse faith with knowledge.

The idea that faith and knowledge are two separate entities is a relatively recent invention. A short book that charts the development of the schism is Escape from Reason by Francis Schaeffer. A more in-depth version is The God Who Is There by the same author.

***The two are not at odds with each other. The historicity of Jesus is just as strong as for any other character in history, but you seem to hold a special standard for historicity when it comes to christianity than for anything else in history. My faith derives from the historical knowledge that even the ENEMIES of Christ acknowledged that He was put to death for claiming equality with God. There’s no miracle in that statement, simply history. Your lack of regard for the science behind the historicity of events relating to christianity is your blind spot, and it makes you a poor scientist.
