Jesus John and Moses

The stories of Jesus John and Moses have incredible similarities that I have never looked at as closely in any sunday schooling.  We ussually only here the story of Jesus and his divine birth but Crossman has pointed out that Jesus was not the only divine child the world had seen.  I am wondering then, if perhaps these weren't the real accounts of jesus' birth, but rather just a popular and impressive way to tell the tale of something we don't actually know about.  I suppose the point is to make Jesus seem the greatest among the great spiritually enlightened leaders.  It also makes it seem as if they are the same person, especially when the presentation of John is partially about Jesus. They are indeed individual characters with seperate stories but are equally divine.
