There are Christians capable of answering your question about those who died never having heard about Jesus.

Here's one (the gist is that they'll be resurrected, given a crash course in the Gospel, and then they can make their choice).

(Certainly Winterside is dodging. You could make your same point by citing someone in North America for over a millennium, and he'd have no YI vessels to talk about.)

I have heard that theory, and it seems like a strange way to go about it, surely an omnipotent god would seed his ideas among the various peoples of the earth in ways that made sense to them throughout time, as opposed to once in an obscure town and then find a way to shoehorn everyone in at some point in the future.

The Yi vessel thing is interesting, but also seems pretty spurious on cursory investigation.

That makes me think of Judas's question to Jesus in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar "Why'd you choose such a backwards time in such a strange land? If you came today you could have reached the whole nation. Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication."
