when i said widely accepted i meant in academia,
Most modern scholars consider Jesus' baptism and crucifixion to be definite historical facts.
James D.G. Dunn states that they "command almost universal assent" and "rank so high on the 'almost impossible to doubt or deny' scale of historical facts" that they are often the starting points for the study of the historical Jesus.
There isn't any historian on the planet that will tell you aliens are definite historical facts. I can understand that a myth accompanies his story. turning water to wine etc. but nikka i was baptised myself. that isn't a reach.
