"The God Who Wasn't There". Maybe he just stepped out for a moment.

In 'The God Who Wasn't There,' a former born-again Christian argues that Christ was a mythological figure.

Yeah? Is this news to somebody? Oh!

With his parents, the young Flemming attended a Methodist church. But, he said, his parents were concerned about violence in the Sylmar public schools and sent him to a nearby fundamentalist Christian school. There, he said, he believed his teachers when they said that God created the world in six days and other Bible-based lessons.But those beliefs crumbled when he went to UC Irvine and began studying philosophy and science.

Now see? This is why some Christians hate science! Science makes it almost impossible to believe in simple supernatural reasons for those complex scientific problems.
