This is really surprising to me. I can't comment on the history museum, but I've moved around quite a bit in the last 10 years while having kids and the children's museum in Pittsburgh was one of our least favorite ones. The Carnegie Science Center /Sports Museum on the other hand was amazing and we went there all the time. I even enjoyed those as an adult.

Wikipedia is actually a pretty solid source these days. There are tons of sources listed at the bottom of articles. You sound like my 6th grade teacher 20 years ago.

Also, if you read what I said carefully, I'm not claiming divinity of Jesus. I just said it was a dude who lived. You can look at what I linked, or perhaps better the one on historicity of Jesus and you'll find scholars are in agreement that Jesus was baptized and crucified and we have solid records of those two things. Everything else is up for debate. But if you want to just say no way you're wrong without any evidence on your side that's fine too. Not invested enough to argue more. Perhaps my original point didnt even improve the joke. I just thought the fact/fiction should be relating to religion and not the existence of a dude historians agree was a real guy.

It's pretty unanimous that scholars agree he existed by the same standards applied to historical figures from the same time period. That's a fact in my book unless you want to be extremely careful and say we don't really know anything about people from 2,000 years ago. Reddit can downvote and I'm not saying anything about Christianity or whether Jesus was God or whatever, but Jesus was a real dude who existed.

It's a fact that Jesus existed, so I think the joke works better if it starts with something like If Jesus was truly the Son of God
