I just discovered yesterday in my public library's chat room a link to a document that maintains that George Washington, the first President of the United States (under the Constitution) held conversations with a young Charles Cornwallis when they both served together during the Franch and Indian War. Cornwallis agreed with Washington that independence would be better for the British Colonies and if he were ever in charge, he would maneuver his forces into an easily surrounded position so that Washington could capture them without much bloodshed. And wouldn't you know, that was the case 18 years later in 1781.
The scoffers amongst you are scoffing heavily, "That's not scientific evidence, you idiot!" Well I don't know. The National Geographic Society has just reported that they have translated a document dating back to the year 300 in Egypt that purports to tell "the secret account of the revelation that Jesus spoke in conversation with Judas Iscariot. This text indicates that Judas betrayed Jesus at Jesus' request.
If you can't believe the National Geographic Society, just who or what can your believe? The Bible?

The Telegraph's take gives a devastating critique: Simon Gathercole, a New Testament expert from Aberdeen University, said: "It is certainly an ancient text, but not ancient enough to tell us anything new. It contains themes which are alien to the first-century world of Jesus and Judas, but which became popular later. An analogy would be finding a speech said to have been written by Queen Victoria, in which she talked about her CDs."

Well, now, ping pong ball sized hail fell near the Sea of Galilee today. Maybe Jesus could have walked on hail?
