Terminator Bombshell

It's a work of fiction; even wackos should be able to understand that.

I prefer to believe that all the protests against the Da Vinci Code were just because it was a shit book.

You know Jesus stoned a dove and ressurected it too? [rolleyes]

I find this more amusing than offensive, but sadly I don't doubt that some Christians will be up in (verbal)arms.

Here are more details: Mysterious bones of Jesus, Joseph and Mary.

Fact or fiction, it'll get a lot of play in the US corporate media either way, just as the Da Vinci Code did. As far as it's power of distraction goes, I don't think this story could have been scripted better. Even so, I wonder if a documentary is capable of capturing people's imaginations the way a book can. If not then the story won't grow any legs. If it does grow legs, I suppose Cameron will attempt to turn it into a major motion picture staring Tom Hanks ... [grin]

What's a work of fiction? This study, or the story the study claims to illuminate?

The story. It seems a pretty obvious prank, but then again so did the Shroud of Turin.

DNA evidence? Did they swab the Cross or something? How dies one data point turn into DNA evidence without being correlated with a reference sample?

The DNA is just used to prove that they are all from the same family, not that their last name is Christ.

shmoove

A work of fiction? I think it's less fiction than a work that tells a story of a man who stood up from his grave.

...
Don't people have better things to do with their time than worry about this?

Imagine if all the energy people put into attacking things like this went into...I don't know...saving Africa from AIDs. We may just, you know, actually do something meaningful.

And here I thought you were talking about Kristanna Loken

The Bible has no such story. It talks of a God standing from his grave. That's a very different thing.

DNA tests of what?

Maybe god-DNA glows in the dark or something.

Even if they could extract viable DNA from these bones, what would they test it against?

So God was dead for a while? Because you can't stand from your grave if you aren't dead first.

Lessbread, you should rename this thread as "Fuel for the Flame".

The DNA on the cross? I dunno.

They found the Cross or the Spear? When did that happen? At the very least they can prove that the corpses are related through DNA. Now making the leap from that to this is the non-resurrected body of Christ and His family is gonna be quite the trick or thoroughly excruciating process of logic and irrefutable evidence.
