Sorry to burst your bubble Pete, but Vishnu came to earth several times. One
of his most important manefestations was Krishna (also called Lord of Lust),
who, on the day of his birth, went out to do battle with a major demon and 
vanquished her. This battle was fought in huge ampitheater valley and 
a hundred thousand worriors witnessed the fight (Much more impressive numbers
than the couple of hundred witnesses to Jesus' resurection). Every one of the 
soldiers saw the fight as clearly as if they were ten feet away (It's a 
miracle!!). 

Not only that, but Krishna could not be mistaken for merely human if he 
weren't in disguissed. He was tall, beatiful, "black as a lotus", had 4 arms, 
and could speak from the moment of his birth. The Bible may have been 
"inspired" by God, but Krishna gave us the _Bagavad_Gita_ in person. If you 
don't buy this and think its a bunch of cowflop, then stop and think for a 
moment, and maybe you'll understand why hindus (and many other people) think 
the same about christianity.
