Exactly, that isn't two thousand. And there are many more copies of Star Trek editions available today than there were of the Bible in ancient times, long before even the printing press had been invented. We also have a much more literate population than would have existed in those times. Most relied on verbal story-telling to carry on the message.

That's a common misconception. Actually, some research will show that the New Testament speaks more frequently to the wrath and anger of God than the Old.

To be honest, it's entirely possible. Of course, for people to recognize Star Trek's credibility, we will have to travel to other worlds, encounter beings who resemble Klingons and Vulcans, learn how to transport matter instantly through space, etc. Then, perhaps the world will open its eyes and recognize Gene Rodenberry as the Messiah.
