Death of Jesus on the cross
Any denial of its historical and cultural significance is obtuse
I would put His Resurrection as more important--there were plenty of crucifixions, including some of the Apostles. Christ destroyed death by rising.
Agree on the historical significance. He is literally at the center of history--while the year was calculated incorrectly, He is the distinction between AD and BC, and even between the "politically correct" terms CE and BCE.

...that led to the cold war that led to the moonlanding? Yes. I can chop sentences in half and completely change their meaning too.

Discovery of antibiotics, Siege of Baghdad, landing on the moon, dropping of the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, printing press, invention of the airplane, and the use of the Internet for commercial means.

No other event but the death and resurrection of Jesus has more profoundly shaped human history for Christians and nonChristians alike.

In the beginning we were fish, OK, swimming around in the water. Then, one day, a couple of fish had a retard baby, and the retard baby was different so it got to live. So retard fish went on to make more retard babies and then, one day, a retard baby fish crawled out of the ocean with its “mutant fish hands” and it had butt-sex with a squirrel or something and made this: retard frog squirrel. Then that had a retard baby that was a monkey fish frog. Then that monkey fish frog had butt-sex with this monkey and that monkey had a monkey retard baby that screwed another monkey and that made you.
In turn, the most important moment in human history was when the retarded offspring of 5 monkeys having butt-sex with a fish squirrel gave birth to man.
