Of course that would require the tales recounted in the Book of Acts to be true. That's a leap I am not prepared to make. Acts is nothing but late propaganda.
How do you figure? The new testament , including Acts, was written by superstitious people recounting superstitious stuff to sell to other superstitious people. None of it is true except some of the geography actually exists. Even at that one of the gospel writers got some of the Palestinian geography and directions all wrong so I wouldn't put too much stock any new testament claim.
