I have no doubt of Lord Rama as a historical figure. However, he was a human king born to human parents. It is true that he achieved God like status, but he was not God himself. This article is full of factual errors that I lost respect for those claims which is new to me.
Science has proven that modern human civilizations are 12000 to 15000 years old. To say that Ramam lived millions of years ago is ridiculous and challenging the collective intelligence of scientific community. It reminds me about Rome's opposition to theory of evolution and the "intelligent design" theory.
Again, NASA published a photo of the chain of islands between India and Sri lanka. These islands were known to everybody but nobody cared until NASA published that photo. Their interest was purely geographical. NASA never said that the structure is human made. Only when it became a controversy, they came up with the clarification.

Hi I appreciate your questioning of the religion.Thats the liberty we have in our culture and we should be allowed to have. So, u accept that Rama was a historical figure who was claimed to the status of god, this means that you accept that Ramayana was true and according to ramayana RAMA should have definitely built a bridge, whether it may exist now or not. And Rama should have definitely used those powerful Astras which are as powerful as todays weapons of Mass destrction. so, why couldn't normal humans such Astras in those days. We hear the use of these only in Ramayana and Mahabharatha. If the bridge is not a proof there are many proofs which show the existence of Ram in history and i also heard that the remains of Dwaraka were found. I can see christians dont like to question wherz the proof that Holy Bible was handed by Angels from heaven and also Muslims dont like to question what was the proof that god spoke to Prophet Mohammed and how can he say that the recitings of Holy Quran are nothing but the sayings of god. I dont say that it is our fault to question our faith, but why should we in the first case deny the existence of it, You can question it, explore it, find the truth, But never come to conclusions with out finding the truth. So why should we let the Ram sethu alias ADAMS bridge to be destroyed when it has become part of a historical discussion. Its an ancient property let us protect and explore it.
