I've been a wandering!
The Roman Empire eventually collapsed. The Vikings stopped raping and pillaging. These were great powers of the world. Will the same sort of thing eventually happen to America? As a civilisation/power it isn't old when compared to Europe. Will it ever reach the same historic age as Europe has reached at this point in time? Or will "democrasing" the world and the fight against terrorism be America's down fall?
I was asked a question by a philisophical young person recently... "what was more important? Jesus' birth? Jesus' life? Or Jesus' death?" Interesting comment to come out of an 8 year old. I said it depends on what you belived Jesus to be. If he is "lord" then probably the work through his life, although dying to save us may possibly be a big thing. Then again if you believe him to be just another person in the grand scheme of things then all was equal! Discuss...

Oooh you naughty thing! Good job I'm not one to air my views on religion in public else this could have got interesting!
Joking aside, I think all three events/situations cannot be judged against each other in terms of importance, as each one has its own individual significance. It's the classic "chicken/egg" question, as without being born he would surely have not have had such an effect. However his birth isn't the most remarkable thing he ever did either...
