Ah. You *do* realize that that measn that those records are as valid as the documents that record Pilate's dealigns with alien battle lords for Zeta Reticuli, yes?
> Do you believe that Pilate was prefect of Judea at the time of Christ?
It is a reasonable conclusion to draw that Pontius Pilate was prefect of Judea at aroudn the time that Jesus was said to exist, yes.
If for no other reason than the records of his existence, while not overwhelming, are not exactly unbelievable. The mere supposition of his existence and doings do not stretch physics or common sense.
Now, if Pilate was said to bilocate, turn bright glow-in-the-dark green on command and hover six feet above his guests, then there'd be cause for doubt.
Why?
