The Truth About Jesus: Is He a Myth?

What is a myth? A myth is a fanciful explanation of a given phenomenon. Observing the sun the moon and the stars overhead the primitive man wished to account for them. This was natural. The mind craves for knowledge. The child asks questions because of an inborn desire to know. Man feels ill at ease with a sense of a mental vacuum until his questions are answered. Before the days of science a fanciful answer was all that could be given to mans questions about the physical world. The primitive man guessed where knowledge failed him-what else could he do? A myth then is a guess a story a speculation or a fanciful explanation of a phenomenon in the absence of accurate information.
