No scientist is claiming that. Read the news more carefully.

Cameron is pandering to the public and his "discovery" will be proven to be just bad science:
- The statistical analysis is not rigorous
- The name "Jesus" was a popular name at that time, appearing in 98 other tombs and on 21 other ossuaries
- There is no historical evidence that Jesus was ever married or had a child
- The earliest followers of Jesus never called him, "Jesus, son of Joseph"
- It's unlikely Joseph, who had died earlier in Galilee, would have been buried in Jerusalem
- The Talipot tomb and ossuaries probably would have belonged to a rich family, which is not a historical match for Jesus
- Fourth-century church historian Eusebius makes quite clear the body of James, brother of Jesus, was buried alone near the temple mount.
- The two Mary ossuaries do not mention anyone from Migdal, but just Mary, a common name
- By all ancient accounts, the tomb of Jesus was empty, making it unlikely that any body was moved, allowed to decay for a year, then be put into an ossuary.
- If Jesus had remained in the tomb, first-century opponents of Christianity would most certainly have found His body and put it on public display.
- Amos Kloner, the first archaeologist to examine the site, said the conclusions cannot be supported by the evidence but it's a way to make money on television. He would have nothing to do with supporting the movie's assertions. "It's nonsense," he said.
- James, the half-brother of Jesus and author of the book of James, the early leader of the church in Jerusalem, was martyred for his faith. Why does James make no mention in his letter that Jesus was not bodily resurrected? When he was about to die why didn't he just recant his beliefs and say, 'Okay, okay! My brother didn't rise from the dead. Here's where we took him. Here's where his bones are. Here's our family tomb. We made the whole thing up?' People will generally not die for a lie when they know it's a lie. Why would James die perpetuating a lie when it would have been so easy to disprove? In fact why would any of the apostles go to their deaths for something they knew to be false?
As I have expected, there has been **no scientific or historical find** that has ever been shown to disprove the authenticity of the bible's history or theology.
Kind of sad to see that all it takes is a press conference for folks to form life-altering opinions versus taking the time to rationally examine all the issues and dig a little deeper. It is the Macdonald's generation: fast, superficial, and never satisfying.

Perhaps more excellent is neither broadway nor narrowminded.

Perhaps resurrection appearances can be deceiving,
if foretold false Christs and false prophets shall arise,
and notably to DECEIVE even the elect... if possible.
http://www.godshew.org/Easter2.htm
Perhaps the virtue-all reality God Shew
level of DECEIT actually increases as you go on,
Unless you leave principles to go on to perfection.
http://www.godshew.org/Hebrews7.htm
Perhaps biblical literalism & human secularism both dead ends.
Perhaps higher than the heavens is neither of heavens on high.
Perhaps first "finished" the human race won it for all.
http://www.godshew.org/HumanRace.htm
Perhaps only what began can end.
Perhaps His Grace has neither begin nor end.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Science beleive on sold logic with proof that can be checked by others...religions beleive on unseen powers that canot be proven on scientic standards this power or powers hold the humen in limits and r better for them in a wild world.
Science reject the birth of a human being without father in the first place..resurection is unbeleivable in scientific way.

Thanks, "Ask Mr. Religion," for the great answer. I'll just cut and paste that one, if you don't mind, wherever I see reference to the Discovery Channel's big revelation about what "really" happened to Jesus. I think you've got the subject covered pretty well.
And Asker, I'm not at all surprised you saw this in school. There is a concerted campaign to undercut Christianity in the education community. I know. I'm a teacher and I've seen it for myself.

So you just believe every thing they tell you at school without bothering to check if it has any basis in truth?

Likely, just a controversial campaign to get ratings and money.

I'd say that's not what the bible says...and if it comes down to accepting:
testimony from men
VS.
testimony from God....
--- I pick God.
I don't care what scientists say. They're wrong.
