1. Ramayana accurately traces the path of Rama from Ayodhya to Sri Lanka. It mentions about the places where he stopped on the way and all of them exist even today. Its impossible for someone to make up these places at a time when maps didnt exist.
2. Imagine this, for hundreds for years Hindus have been hearing about Rama building a Setu on the sea when none apparently existed. Suddenly satellite imagery discovers it exists exactly at the same place and position it was believed to exist. Is it a mere co-incidence? What are the chances of this happening?
3. Ramayana mentions about the Vanaras who have a face of an ape and are bipedal (walk on two feet). For many years the remains of what scientists call "Pre-historic man" have been found. Doesnt anyone see the similarities between the pre-historic man and vanaras?
4. If the archealogists are looking for clothes, pots etc used by Rama or something written by him, that won't happen. Rama existed in the Treta yuga which was millions of years ago.
5. There is no proof for the existence of Mohammed and Jesus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_jesus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Muhammad

6. There is no proof for Abraham having existed let alone built the black stone called KAABA. There is no proof that there is angel jibreel who came and stealthily uttered koran in mohamad's ears. There is no weird animal called BURAQ with a face of a woman, body of a donkey, tail of a peacock and wings of a bird on which Mohamad supposedly flew to heaven. It is much more probable that a army can build a bridge than to believe that a man called Jesus walked on water. There is no proof nor its believable that a man named Jesus resurrected. There is no proof that Mohd split the Moon. But no one is talking about these things or filing affidavits in court challenging them. Why just pick on Hindus? because they are tolerant? Imagine someone challenging any of these in Saudi Arabia or any muslim majority country. Even if any of these ridiculous things are challenged say in Europe or USA, the Muslims all over the world will go on rampage destroying millions of dollars of property like they did during the recent cartoons.

Tolerant Hindus = They believe anything and everything they see from Sia Baba, Amruthanandamai, Snake, Lion, Tiger, River, Sea, Gays, Trees, Horse, Donkey, Monkey.
1 lady for 5 men, 100 men from a pot, Peeping into others Bathroom, Cheating to win wars, 1000 tribes, 1000 castes, upper caste & lower caste still remains, BJP to r...pe & kill inoocent women, and last of all the poulation of India is 100 Crores and is still going fast forward.
What a tolerant religion,
No work at all only work is making children and when someone else work and make money they start looting them.

All religions in the world r human made, certain clever people made them for groupism, they never thot that they r slaughtering the human socity. Peep into the history, bloodshed...bloodshed...everywhere for God and religion. The religions burn fire in the society and separating us as Hindus, Christians, Muslims, and so on. The absolute result is bloodshed and peacelessiness. If u think only about a human society, leaving aside the deities and religion, u can do many things for this world or atleast for our nation. Unfortunately we born in different communities, if some one could have made me understand before my birth that this world is like this, i would have never come. Ram, Jesus or Mohammod were historic or non historic is doing nothing to the poverty striken people of our nation. Children are dying due to malnutrition, AIDS,cancer and many kinds of diseases are taking their toll on the human lives. Let gods and religions die or live, if u have humanitarian concern, dont take unnecessary tention on so called, human made religions, come out, a nation with a fractured shape waiting for al

You seem very desolate. World is beautiful and so is life.But some people intentionally try to vitiate the atmosphere of communal harmony and brotherhood.Religions are for our good as they suggest and guide us to live good life.

For people like you no God is required, as you see Him in people. But for me to turn my self towards other people I require a leader. I follow the leader not the interpreters. I dont think any thing is wrong in it.

go and read them properly. it clearly mentions that the historicity of jesus of nazareth is doubtful. It is only present in christian writings and no non-christian writings of the time mention him. There are no artifacts found that belong to Jesus. Similarly there are a lot of vedic writings which mention Rama and his Sethu
