1. The creator of the universe, decided to impregnate a virgin human living on an insignificant blue speck of his creation. The offspring was then able to turn water into wine, raise the dead, feed thousands of people from one basket, rise from the dead himself and ascend into heaven (Wherever that is). To some unknown end that also happens to benefit mankind, which is desirable to this omnipotent being for some unknown reason.

2. A number of 300+ year old folk tales were gathered together by the Council of Nicaea, under the direction of a Roman Emporer named Constantine and woven into a fantastic tale that established an authoritative religous organization that he could control. This would make the story similar to the modern tales of Superman, Lord of the Rings, Santa Claus, Tinkerbell, the Tooth Fairy and the ancient tales of Hercules. Since these have actually happened, it must be conceded it is possible such a thing could occur.
