text: Don 'modern humans' date back one hundred thousand years or more.  Church claims for sacraments were instituted two thousand years ago.  If the sacraments and the mass are indeed necessary as you seem to claim along with the church, what about the other 98 percent of the time there were humans and no sacraments available.  It seems that we constantly need to deal with made up stuff;  beliefs, void of facts, accepted as truths.  Gospels are presented as the 'Word of God'...God never wrote a book, and we have no writings from Jesus.  Oral Tradition is hearsay...Faith is an unquestioning belief lacking the support of evidence or proof.  Truth does matter, or at least it ought to...and should be constantly sought after.  Time to recognize the Gospel as total human construct.
