Subject: RE: BS: who killed the hairy mammoth?
I don't really go along with that argument. Choosing a point in time as an origin and naming it in some way does not necessitate believe the person it was named after existed. And that is a heck of a long way from having a specific faith. It is a name that encodes something of our history, just as the days of the week do. I can call a day Thursday without having faith in Thor.
