Anyway one thought it reasonable that if you had four versions of the same basic story (the gospels) by four different people, that was pretty good evidence that it must be true. Naturally I disagreed, given that the four stories were in the same book, and were likely copied from each other to some extent.
It set me thinking about a suitable analogy, and Superman came to mind. Fast forward 2000 years, where most other records have been lost, but there's one ancient sacred casket containing the books and moving pictures telling his remarkable story...
"In the beginning the Lords of Krypton sent their Son to Earth."
There are numerous versions of the story but all agree on key points, such as his extra-terrestrial origin, his earthly companions, his alter-ego, his weaknesses, and his enemies. And they all agree that he did good deeds for ordinary people, and fought evil. They differ in some details, and even contradict each other in places, but the fact that they agree on so many important aspects mean it's pretty good evidence that the story is true, right?
The images we have all show the same basic characteristics ... More evidence it must be true.
Though recent Superological academics have questioned whether Superman was, in fact, a woman.
