I'm not sure what you mean here. Two differing stories can contradict on many points.
For instance, the theory of evolution has nothing in common with the genesis myth. yet they contradict each other completely

So, if I found a body in a 3000 year old tomb, in Egypt, inscribed with the name of Matthias, bones those of a man about 75 years old, that would be good reason to doubt the historical Jesus?
what are you talking about?
you said:

I showed you the evolution vs genesis example to show that view as nonsense. Please respond to my points.. not stuff you make up yourself

thanks for attempting to clarify my point.
I was at the point where I was just repeating myself.

And how do you propose we form an opinion one way or the other without watching it?
take YOUR word for it?
It's all very well to dismiss it out of hand if it's your area of study. but that is not the case for us all.
