I'm fully with you on the .05% which is both intuition as well as alleged fact. Check out What the Bleep Do We Know? Book or doc. It basically explains we know an inch, what we know we don't know is 8 miles, and what we don't know we don't know is a stretch from here to the moon and back about 30 times. Scientifically, we've barely begun to understand our place and power.
I think he has some very bad publicity. I think the Bible is riddled with changes made by men with ulterior motives, the fact that it's compromised of a tiny fraction of the contemporary writings of the era shows the bias and that the message was massaged to use fear and emotional appeal just like grifting politicians do now. They aren't emulating the Bible, the Bible showed up after men were using those tactics already.
Whether Jesus was really the chosen embodiment of God is a question but I honestly don't think that ever mattered. I don't buy that the son of God would even want to be worshipped. I get the feeling he just showed up to say "Hey, if you guys show love and forgiveness to one another, this world can be an incredible experience for all of you, and if you don't it's gonna suck." I have no qualms with Jesus, I just get the feeling the story got affected.
All of that said, this episode has been the most moving thing I've ever heard on this topic, and kind of confirmed my own bias. 10/10 recommend.
Let's be buds, bud :)
