Could Julian the Apostate have defeated Christianity?

I am a professional scientist, but in my spare time I read history books and I review them.  I am mainly working through Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire at the moment, but will slip in a few other titbits from time to time.  I normally get a show out every Thursday.
