The Bhagavad Gita isn't a witness to Jesus Christ (which doesn't mean it's
of no value at all). The Old & New Testaments are (which doesn't require that they
all be accurate science by A.D. 2000 standards). Glenn may reply, "How do we know that
what it says about Jesus is correct if we can't trust its statements about the Flood
&c?" - & then anyone who is interested can replay the tapes of our previous debates.
