The old testament also mentioned whales swallowing men, Tiamat and giants. Does that mean they exist? Moreover just because something is mentioned in both the new testament and in the Koran doesn't mean it really happened? Mohammad was know to have read both Jewish and Christian religious texts before he wrote the Koran. Another point to consider, why is there no independent record of the crucifixion? You'd have thought that given the world darkening, the storms etc., that would have been mentioned elsewhere. You'd have thought that the contemporary chroniclers would have at least made a mention of something. There is no independent mention of the event until about 40 or 50 years afterwards by Flavius Josephus in Antiquities of the Jews. And that has been shown to most likely be a fraud, added in the 8th or 9th centuries. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
