He took the day off to set a good example, you try working non stop. I very

Fiction? The bible is a historical book stating what people believe happened 
much like books that say we landed on the moon. Most of the world will say 
that America did land on the moon, however there is some evidence that 
states that they did not (I am not completely convinced either way). The 
Roswell incident is another classic. The official response is that it was an 
experimental aircraft or weather balloon (I can't remember which), although 
a large number of people believe it was an extra terrestrial incident.
