How did Christianity start???

I mean the beginings of christianity. I don't want to hear what is says in the bible but from Anthropological studies, theories that sort of thing. The real history behind it.

I know its a big subject so just a brief overview or if you can inform me on any books, articles that would be great.

What gods created the earth by just thinking of it?

These gods would be able to think of anything and it would just appear, such as mountains or lakes. Does anyone know anything about what culture this is from or what gods these were?

what purpose served the snoring for our ancestors?

...because during our human evolution may not have been such a handicap if it's so common.
Calling attention on predators or harmonizing chorus with the rest in the cave? I've slept on medical barracks and witnessed snorers cutted or following patterns by other snorers. Melodic,perhaps not,but surely scary to any living beast.

Heard something interesting about native americans?

I heard that they found eveidence on native americans that probably lived 40,000 years ago or possibly more in the americas with fossilized footprints. do you guys think its true? why do you or not think its true? please no stupid ignorant responses, if i wanted ignorance i would just ask mel gibson what he thinks about jews. Most people are also part native american also and dont even know it or care much about it. Does that mean there some kind of half sub specie or something? does that mean ima half sub specie? I thought the the whole world was just one specie. Now i hear its possible that native americans are probably a sub species of of the the other modern humans.

Opinion-based question:?

Okay, based on my research, I have noted that all of the people I know who like Metal or some variation also like the song "Mad World". Is this merely a coincidence?

Did they find the body of Jesus, and was he buried with his son?

I heard that archaeologists claim to have found his body and the body of his son. Anyone know the details? I was also wondering if he really had a daughter named Sarah, who moved to France and carried on his bloodline after his death.

Jesus was basically a rabbi, and in that day and age a rabbi needed to be married if he wanted to be taken seriously, so Jesus might have been married.

A question about beauty in our soceity?

During the late medieval through to pre-industrial era through art and stories inner qualities like kindness, goodness, faith, loyalty, etc. where portrayed through physical beauty and good looks. Hence the hero or heroine of a story was said to be handsome or beautiful, more so than normal.

Our present day society is based on foundations from this era and we have brought many of its ideas and ideals with us from then into our modern day. However as with many long held traditions and customs the meaning of can be lost over time, people just going through the motions and not understanding why.

So my question is, can this artistic cheat explain our society’s current pre-occupation with physical beauty and/or attractiveness? Trying to find the most beautiful but not understanding that that does not guarantee 'inner beauty' as it were?

AND

If so then what does that say for our society and its views on beauty and attraction? What would be a better way to approach the subject?

Please explain your answers.

I thank you in advance.

(P.S. Please do not discuss evolutionary science, survival of the fittest, etc. that is not the point of the question.)
