	On the subject of the lack of historical documentation
	of Jesus' presence on Earth...I think it should be noted
	that Mass Communication as we know it did not exist
	during that period. Just because there isn't a listing
	in Encyclopedia Britannica 50AD doesn't mean that he was
	not alive and was not an influence. Also, what was the rate of
	literacy during that period and what are the chances that if
	something was recorded that it survived over 1900 years?
