I don't see any contradictions,

In the light of scripture this doesn’t surprise me.

The truth is the truth.

Yep..The truth is the truth, and the bottom line is that it is unreasonable( dare I say unscientific) to believe that all that there is of this world is what our 5 senses provide. The truth is it is unreasonable to deny that something extraordinary happened almost 2000 years ago in that Roman backwater called Jerusalem, so extraordinary that Western Civilization reset their Calendar around one man and that you and I are still talking about him on a very dead thread.

Philosophy may have instigated the science movement, but science left philosophy behind centuries ago. Belief in "something" that can't be measured or detected in some way, or it's actions predicted to an extent to demonstrate it's existence is ... unscientific.

Julius Ceasar and the Julian calendar? Maybe you mean Mohamed, because you do know that more people in the world believe in him than Jesus (oh, wait, I guess Mohamed doesn't have a calender). Or perhaps there was a Chinese guy they named the Chinese calendar after, because It would not surprise me that more civilized people for more centuries used that calendar than the one that was started a few centuries after Jesus died. The fact that Jesus was a remarkable man, that he inspired a plurality of people to believe in his diety is not unique in the human experience.

The truth is the truth. No faith has scientific evidence to back it up. Yes, there is some evidence that Jesus existed, but Mohamed did too. So what. Wasn't Buddha a real guy? No faith has any more evidence to back it up than any other. That's why they call it "faith".
