Evidence for God from Science

One of our founding fathers Thomas Jefferson created a very strange book titled, "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth". Jefferson wanted to get to the heart of Jesus's teachings and philosophy. He wanted to create a Bible that did not have references to miracles, supernatural, and the resurrection. He wanted just to concentrate on the teachings and morals of Jesus Christ. As an ardent theist he wanted to create a version of the Bible without the parts he would find difficult to believe in accordance with his scientific views. If you are ardent Biblicist or born-again don't give up on this post yet. It is very interesting just from the amount of effort Jefferson put into this endeavor.

So Jefferson set out to create a book by cutting and pasting certain passages from the Bible that were only specific to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Jefferson purchased eight bibles. Two in English, two in Greek, two in Latin, and Two in French. He needed two of each so he could cut passages from the front and back pages of each Bible. Purchasing eight Bibles was not something to take lightly at the time. At the time, a Bible was usually one of the most expensive items in a house.

Jefferson purchased tranlations from four different languages because translating the Bible into modern languages from the ancient Coptic is full of interpretation and prejudice introduced by the author doing the translation. Jefferson spent a huge amount of time on this endeavor. It's really quite amazing. Here is a link to the actually result. It does not contain anything remote offensive to the even the most devout Christian:

Jefferson was extremely well read. At the time he probably had more books in his library than most libraries around the World. Joseph Campell was a professor of comparitive religions. If you ever study the works of Campell, Jefferson had very strong opinions about the similarity of certain Bible passages to myths found in the surrounding region of the time. Jefferson also had very strong opinions on how the clergy would use the Bible to "filch wealth and power to themselves."

Jefferson wrote that “Jesus did not mean to impose himself on mankind as the son of God.” He called the writers of the New Testament “ignorant, unlettered men” who produced “superstitions, fanaticisms, and fabrications.” He called the Apostle Paul the “first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus.” He dismissed the concept of the Trinity as “mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus.” He believed that the clergy used religion as a “mere contrivance to filch wealth and power to themselves” and that “in every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty.” And he wrote in a letter to John Adams that “the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.”

So my question is the Jefferson Bible blasphemy or a great work in mankind's history?

There laid they Jesus, and rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

If someone claimed to be the son of God, and also claimed that he would rise from the dead, and didn't, then why on earth would be give such a lunatic's teachings any credence?
