Criticism against Tabor’s hypothesis has given rise to many questions concerning the validity of archeological evidence for supporting certain proofs for academy use. Again it has also questioned the possibility of using scientific knowledge to explain the unexplainable phenomena that have been considered supernatural both in mythological folklores and in the ancient world. Or could the mind of a believer becomes strongly feeble and remained unknowingly biased because of the influence of dogmatism? As a result this has questioned the superiority and validity of secular science over the dogmatic theological knowledge of religion in the modern world. Perhaps could post-modern system of thinking be used as a tool to justify beliefs and faith with empirical evidence as it is in most scholarly works and theological research
works? The academic study of religion does not require assumptions or faith, as it is in theology, but requires social scientific knowledge and more recently phenomenological approach as advocated by Geralduis Van der lew. Tabor’s hypothesis is for academic use for the scientific study of the origin of the founder of the Christian faith from empirical perspectives, and not to support orcriticize faith as most theistic and Christian scholars and theologians misunderstood, like wised the used of evolution for explanation of man’s origin from pre-historic era through biology and anthropological perspective. the science of history of religion does not concern theological claims apart from their historical significance, but center on the historicity of religious figure, events, and the evolution of doctrinal matters with empirical knowledge which calls for the use of archeological discovery like that of tombstone of AbdesPantera and its inscription. Celsius criticism against the Jesus’ Immaculate Conception was rejected by mainstream scholars of the Christian faith and jugged as blasphemous idea because of the pejorativeacknowledgement of his ancient Italian religion as “pagan”, but as one of the “pagans” he used the historical criticism against the Christian founder as an apologetic defense of his traditional roman religion. By faith and belief in the religious stories of Christian theology,Jesus’ nature and origin can be attributed to any supernatural or perhaps unimaginable events. After all there are several mysterious events centered on the birth and activities of most founders of Religious based on myths and beliefs on supernatural events. For instance, the birth of John the Baptist was prophesied and the birth of Muhammad, according to Koran, was a “spiritual revelations”
of the words of Allah from angel Gabriel according to Islamic tradition.Tabor’s Hypothesis is severely criticized by theistic scholars most likely mainstream scholars, given that there is no evidence to support it as a result
of “bounded rationality” (Daniel Kahneman) and due to the inability to contradict one’s already established belief which has indirectly became glaring in the acceptance of pre-historic studies and knowledge for the scientific study of man’s origin. The greatest scientist of all time is the atheistic scientist who searches through the unknown with experimentation and not with belief to explore and discoverphenomenon behind natural occurrences. Tabor’s hypothesis, like the Avogadro’s hypothesis in Chemistry, is an academic social scientificskills for academic use and not be criticized with “bounded rationality” due to dogmatism or to be used as a critical techniques to support or criticized faith as some scholars and theologians of both the western and African world misunderstood. By scholastic method of studying New testaments studies in tertiary institutions, the Gnostic Gospels that have been violently rejected by Mainstream and traditional orthodox Christian have because of numerous controversial details it reveals against Jesus Christi have been used in the Scientific, historical n archeological and Gnostic Mysteries studies of Jesus Christi in the Academic disciplines. Max Muller (1873) Advised that is should be the duty of those who have devoted their life to the study of the principal religions of the world in their original documents, and not value and reverence it in whatever form it may present itself; to take possession of this new territory (science) in the name of true science. My argument is this,
“hypothesis” and “theories” arescientific skillsemployed for the explanation of phenomenon and mechanism in the secular academic tradition of religious studies and not for enhancement of indoctrination, and as such should not be criticized with “bounded rationality”. In fact with “hypothesis” and
“theory” from scientific perspectives, “God” can be bad and “Satan” can be good. That is the academic tradition in the scientific study of Religio

This article centers on the importance of Theory and Hypothesis as scientific tools and how they could beusedin the scientific study of religious tradition, institutions, and founders. Using James tabor’s
Hypothesis, a scholar can easily understand the underlining biased factors that affect scholars in the Scientific study of Religion and several ways thesescientific tools have been employed for theological Studies which have led to the formation of various concepts and religious doctrines about Jesus’ nature and birth in particular. With thecritique involved in Tabor’s Hypothesis, several scientific and historical
evidence have been called into question for their validity and further verification and clarification namely; the historicity of Celsius and the reliability of his information about Jesus’ illegitimacy, the reliability ofarcheological evidence in religion and theological studies, and the Realness of Mary’s infidelity as regardto adultery if Justified.
