You do all realize that many of the things that are from the past could be as much on the level as the National Enquirer. All of the things that have been talked about have been translated, which means it could have been incorrectly translated or it could have been translated to fit the views of those who translated it. It's a known fact that Greek plays would be destroyed and changed if the monks that were translating them felt they were innapropriate. So really anything that has to do with the world ending, prophecies, and yes even religion could have been changed to fit someone else's beliefs.
