It's said that if monkeys hack long enough on a typewriter, than they will inexorably end up writing something that makes sense.
Let's see if this is also true for scientists...

The Better Choice

I wonder what would have happened if Jesus had dictated his New Testament, word after word, to his disciples, rather than letting a bunch of people compile it according to their own ideas, long time after his death. A bit like the Qur'an. But in a way that would not allow abusing his teachings to support acts of violence. Probably impossible - we are a bunch of clever people. And Jesus wasn't lawyer, but a poor carpenter. Yep, a clever lawyer would have been better. Given all the atrocities that were carried out in his name, over the centuries, did God chose the wrong guy? But then, wouldn't this mean he probably wasn't God. Maybe just the milkman?
