So I too will take the liberty of expounding my version of events

Peak Oil And Dunbar’s Number – By Peter Goodchild
Within modern capitalism there is no solution to the problem of oil depletion. Oil energy cannot be replaced with the equivalent amount of "alternative" energy in the required time, so the consequences of oil depletion will be disastrous. Those disastrous consequences are beyond the range of the normal or acceptable issues of political debate. No political contender can win votes by saying that the world is coming to an end. The "end" may be real, but there is no political mechanism to deal with it in the over–crowded and overly complex modern state

The Hidden Story of Jesus
Video – Broadcast UK – Channel 4 – Dec 26, 2007
Theologian Dr Robert Beckford investigates amazing parallels to the Christ story in other faiths, some of them predating Christianity by thousands of years. The Hindu god, Krishna, was conceived by a virgin and his birth was attended by angels, wise men and shepherds. Buddha was also the result of a miraculous birth and visited by wise men bearing gifts. Beckford attempts to unravel the mystery of why there are so many versions of the Christ story across the world and asks which is the real one.
Even the Old Testament copied other stories. The story of Noah, for example, was lifted almost intact (complete with sending out birds to find land) from the far older Epic of Gilgamesh
