But since historians can only trade in probabilities and since the bodily ascension of Jesus surely qualifies as an extremely improbable historical event,..."<BR/><BR/>We can safely assume that during his appearances to his disciples after the crucifixion, the man still contained his skeletal structure and bones, since he was recognized and touched, etc. Given that, why not entertain the possibility that a UFO had swooped down and picked him up, or even that he had been beamed up?
