Crossovers That Should Not Be XVII: Post 16 threads, and what'd'ya get?

Well, NXE 3-8 itself, where the explanation for this is first given
AFAIK, asks the question "How do -you- explain that both Achilles and
Gilgamesh predate Christ?" - and Gendou responds "How do you know they
do?".

I had always assumed that this was a reference to John 1, which sets the creation of Christ at the same time as the creation of the universe.  I think the comment is more about the nature of the divine -- while considering the timeline in all well and good, it doesn't necessarily apply given the powers involved.  And that a matter like reincarnation is better taken on faith.
