The body of Jesus?

Time magazine reports on the discovery of the body of Jesus and his family.

27 years ago, Israeli construction workers discovered a 2000 year-old cave containing 10 tombs labeled "Jesua, son of Joseph, Mary, Mary, Mathew, Jofa and Judah, son of Jesua." According to Time, "[F]ilm-makers [James] Cameron and [Simcha] Jacobovici claim to have amassed evidence through DNA tests, archeological evidence and Biblical studies, that the 10 coffins belong to Jesus and his family."

I'm still quite skeptical. DNA tests? WTF? I guess I'll have to wait for the actual evidence.

  3. Would that be the green one or the metallic looking one?

  4. Or the one this "Chemistry teacher" from a "Major US university" (Corpus Christi Texas) used as a master template to build his model from.

    You have to hand it to that Noah, he sure could throw a lump of wood together.
    Check out the intro on this clip, it's a pearl, not least the "wide eyed bushy tailed kids"

    Then if you are anything like myself, the rest of the clips in the series become a "must see"

  6. Would Catholic ninja commandos have to kill James Cameron? Because that would be kind of rad. And also just punishment for Titanic.

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.

With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.

No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.

See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.

Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.

I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.

Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.

I've already answered some typical comments.

I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.
