divine guidance about it. Just a bunch of tales passed down by people of varying intelligence who never thought to examine whether there was an consistent logic behind what they were writing.

Let's face it, if Jesus was actually god, he could have proven it by saying a few things that would have seemed to be lunacy at the time he said them, but that were proven to be accurate centuries later. Case in point: Jesus said illnesses were caused by demons, regurgitating the belief of the time. Imagine if he had said, "no, actually, diseases are caused by microscopic organisims that can't be seen by the human eye without employing extreme magnification."

Now, THAT might have been something only an all-knowing god would have said in that part of the world at that time.
