Considering your dubious references, and my skeptic nature, I only feel compelled to ask you about your own choices in life.
Why, pray tell, do you believe? Why aren't you agnostic? What makes you want to be Christian and not Muslim? Why do you feel you posses so many answers when the world is full of so many unanswerable questions?
Sorry to be rude. I'm not trying to be; trust my good will. However, this thread appears to be a combination of a personal soapbox, a self esteem booster, and a living monument to your own personal faith (in which case, no one else can really learn from you, as faith is a journey, not a destination).
I mean, and this is my ONLY problem here... you claim to be a worldly man, someone who has witnessed many, and aided the world with your vast knowledge of biblical facts; however how can you say that you can give decent insight and answers on Life, the Universe, and well, just about anything, when not even the wisest of men have made such a brash and blanketed claim? And from your references, you're not at all worldly. You've surrounded yourself with very much like-minded individuals, it seems. You can travel to foreign lands, but if your goal is conversion and not understanding, you've learned nothing.
Sorry, please pardon my blunt nature. I just have a terrible phobia of false prophets.
