"Jesus became wiser and grew physically. People liked him, and he pleased God." (Luke 2:52)

Historical references?
Wow! (and not in a good way) You made quite a few fantastic claims in there: virgin birth, walking on water, magical healing, etc. Do you have any historical references for all these fantastic claims? After all, extrodinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And no, the Bible doesn't really count because all of the New Testament was written from 60 AD onwards, heavily influenced by Paul.
