I'm working on a more detailed response, but my computer isn't cooperating. For a short answer: prove it, prove it, prove it, that's why we need Christianity and prove that this is relevant to Christianity.

A little more on that last statement. Why is it that man is prone to myths and tall tales? Is is because we seek a totalizing framework to make sense of our experiences, or is it because we have some sort of primordial awareness of a reality which escapes our five sense? What evidence do you have for one over the other?
