Yes. I don't think anyone's disputing his existence in what is apparently going to be a series--just the manner of his leaving it. It's funny--when it's the Old Testament (plagues of Egypt and so on) they always seem to be trying to prove how it could have happened, but with the New Testament they're always trying to prove that it didn't.

I wonder if they have programmes in India debating the factual accuracy of the Mahabharata and so on?
