Yes I believe there was a man named St Nicolas who brought so much joy to children. There are so many stories and events from the past that leave us with many questions unanswered.
Why was Stonehenge built and by whom. Who built the Standing Stones at Aylesbury, Orkney and many other sites around the UK and Ireland.
Who built the statues on Easter Island and why ?
We know the Egyptians built Pyramids as did the Maya and the Inca’s who built Machu Picchu.
The Chinese built the Forbidden City there are ancient temples in Cambodia. We know the Romans built an Empire across Europe and beyond How do we know this?
Because there is lots of physical evidence from the ancient world that leaves us in modern times to ponder what went on in the past.
The Bible is a history book, physical evidence of stories and legions from another time. We know .Pontius Pilate was the fifth prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, serving under Emperor Tiberius from AD 26 to 36. He is best known today for the trial and crucifixion of Jesus
We are free to question whether or not the stories in the Bible are true or exaggerated as much as were are free to question the stories we read in the New York Times. When it boils down to it, it’s what WE as individuals choose to believe.
