I agree, we as a people do not doubt many of the events in history that has far less evidence and written reports concerning the events like we do the life and death of Jesus. I have, over the years, came to the thought that if we were just accepting Him as a great leader like Alexander and not a part of God there would not be all the problems we conjure up. Young people today will accept a program on tv or something on facebook as absolute truth but they question everything that has to do with God and believe it is not accurate. As far as I am concerned can only be the work of satan clouding their minds and making them doubt what is plain and believe what is not,

I love William Lane Craig; he clearly and concisely communicates God's truth in a much the same way C.S. Lewis did years ago.
