Well, maybe Cameron will have some shtein blowing up.  Otherwise, same shtein.

They said some years ago that they found the coffin of James, Jesus brother, and it turned out to be a hoax. this will without a doubt stir the pot.

If it isn't a hoax the fundies will rationalize this one away (as Dio) said with the rest.  Lessee if I can trump Event Horizon on this one...

1) Satan/God put those graves there to tempt unbelievers and to test the faith of the faithful.
or
2) Of course Jesus died, and of course there was a body.  That doesn't mean that he wasn't resurrected, and that he didn't walk again amongst his followers.
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

They'll just say that the evidence is insufficient. The people working on this grave say there's a 599 in 600 percent chance that the tomb is actually that of Jesus*. When one already believes in deities incarnating as man, miracles, and resurrection of the dead, all based on a dodgy old book of Middle Eastern folklore, believing in a 1 in 600 chance is nothing.

* I suspect that this number will go way down when the whole scientific community gets a crack at examining the evidence. James Cameron & co. obviously have great interest in hyping this up.

Has anyone ever heard of percentages given 599 out of 600 before, what the hell is that

They were: Jesua, son of Joseph, Mary, Mary, Mathew, Jofa and Judah, son of Jesua.
They were the most common of names in those times, that would be about as unique as finding a tombstone in Dublin that said Sean, son of Ryan, brother of Patrick.

I'm a little curious as to how he's going to use DNA evidence. This will be Cameron's version of the Da Vinci Code, I suppose.

Maybe these yahoos are working in some kind of base six (senary) or base sixty (sexagesimal) math?

It doesn't matter if you can prove what actually happened. What matters is people think you can or can't and can create alot of controversy - then sell books, get on tv, have people love or hate your lame theories...... Then you can laugh yourself silly all the way to the bank and be set for life.

One can only hope it destroys Christianity.  Fundamentalism doesn't change much, whether you believe in God or Allah.
