Yes but rational investigations involving historical and archaeological facts do not support it.

Investigations have also shown the mythology was taken from earlier sources, this is now a fact. Although you can't Google it or find the information in our filtered encyclopedias, Egyptologist D.M. Murdock has been studying materials closer to the source for years now and written several books. Complete with all material sourced.
So rational debates usually end with "I don't care about facts, I have faith!"
Which is fine. Anyone may believe as they like but to suggest that it actually holds up against a rational investigation, that isn't true.
Isn't the first thing the Roman Catholic church did in 12a.d. was to assume the gospels were 100% true, no matter what else history may say or prove, the gospels are the word of God, end of story.
That is not rationality, it's a faith based decision.
