Why You Might Have to Choose Between Science and Faith

44. So just where and when and how were the laws of nature suspended ?

Only on this one occassion? Never before or after?

Did not a few billions of people and other humanoid forms simply die and decay, but this one fine but simple man who may have influenced a few thousands of people about 2000 years ago, this one man's human body defied the laws of nature?

And, given the history of this planet for human beings since the days of his death and resurrection, the literal millions of human beings slaughtered in the name of one religion or another, many of those religions proclaiming to be "Christian", may I ask:

For what purpose did this one man die on a cross and become resurrected 2 or 3 days later? Seems sort of purposeless, given the actual recorded history of the last century, or last 20 centuries of actual recorded human history.

What was the purpose of the suspension of the laws of nature for this one person, and what did it accomplish?
