[ RadSafe ] Drawing the line between scienceandpseudo-science. (was Rational Thought)

[Steven Dapra]

         To reiterate, the literal, physical, bodily resurrection of 
Jesus Christ
from the grave is one of the best established facts of history.  I'm
not going to debate it because there is nothing to debate.  It happened.
