So, the scientific folks think that they have found Jesus bones.....????

Question

Also claim that he was married to Mary M. and they had a child named Judah. I find that amazing that they say they have positive evidence of this when no one can even find out who the father of Ana Nicole Smith's baby is.Any one else find this somewhat ridiculous? Oh and for those of you who will trash the question and say that it attacks my Christianity it doesn't so don't waste you time answering.

Answer 1

The report was, they found his burial site, not his remains. The strange thing about some of mankind is they just cannot accept God came to this world as a baby, grew up in human form, experienced human emotions and then was crucified and then rose again. The unique thing is was it was foretold in the Old Testament and substantiated many times before he arrived.
Therefore those doubters really believe they will find his bones. I am sure by now they will use the premise that the bones were stolen. I know better and so do you. What are they going to do when Jesus calls his believers home. Then the tribulations begin. I am sure they will be hard hearted and just as ignorant then as they are now. All one can do is pray for those people that they will see the light.

Answer 2

I'm not sure it's very accurate to say that 'scientific folks' think anything of the kind.

Keep in mind that there is very little secular evidence that this Jesus person ever even existed in the first place. This provides a very sharp limitation on the kind of credible claims you can make. How do you prove that you have the remains of someone about whom we verifiably know almost nothing?

Likewise, though those who are advancing the theory you cite have used some scientific analyses, I think the general consensus of the scientific community is that they have overreached themselves. Though perhaps the statistical chance of having all those names together in one tomb may be small, I would personally judge the chance that some believer constructed an honorary tomb to be high (how many manger scenes have we all seen in our lifetimes!). None of the analyses so far would distinguish between and old memento (or fraud) of that nature and the real thing. Many of the other scientific tests they've performed have similar problems.

So I think the most it's reasonable to say is that a tomb has been found which may have some connection. The number of people who are scientists and would defend this connection is actually pretty low. Even some of the experts quoted as sources disagree with the conclusions!

Answer 3

I hope you're not serious. The father of Smith's baby is unknown because no results have been issued.

Even bible scholars say it's highly likely that he was married to or romantically involved with Mary anyway, so them discovering the family tomb is no surprise.

Wow, some dumb people here. Yes, it was filmed, but there were plenty of specialists on hand for research. The film-makers and others involved had absolutely nothing to do with the scientific process other than to film it and write about it.

Some of the results have been published in peer-reviewed journals, by the way.

Answer 4

Well, I would say that science has come a long way. And that Jesus' hypothetical DNA is not caught up in a California Civil Court attempting to decide which lunatic should have custody of his child.

I find it interesting in that Mary Magdeline supposedly was whisked away to France by Joseph of Arimathea. If MM is still is the middle east, she can't have gone to France and had her daughter marry into the Merovingian Royal family. Pretty much shoots that theory to sh*t eh?

Answer 5

It's like any thing else, Some Scientists will say it's positive proof & other Scientists will say it isn't. I personaly would love to believe that it is positive proof. As far as Ana's baby is concerned, It can be determined & will be determined just as soon as all the DNA is collected.My guess is that the father of the baby is the blond haired guy.

Answer 6

I think that to call James Cameron or Dan Brown, the people who made the claims you refer to, "scientific" is quite a stretch. One is a hack film maker, the other a hack author. The scientific community has far better things to do than debate the historical accuracy of The Bible, The Koran or even Huckleberry Finn.

Answer 7

The only thing the "scientific folks" did was test the DNA to see if the two people in the grave were related. They weren't, so were probably married.

No scientist is saying this was Jesus and his wife; it's speculation on the part of Cameron and crew.

Answer 8

How can you find the bones of someone who rose from the dead and left only a cloth behind??? Science makes you wonder, where is Arsenio Hall when you need him.. things to make you go hmmm..

Answer 9

I hope its true. I hate of Christianity (and every other religion). All it does is cause social conflicts and even war. If they find Jesus' bones then he obviously didn't rise from the dead(which I already know). To "hell" with everyones "God."

Answer 10

Ah wouldn't werry ahboot it if'n ah were you. Sure and didn't the good Laird teach us that the most important thing was "Love one another!" and "Forgive thine Enemies."

This doesn'a change a thing, lass. Dinna werry yer wee hayd aboot it, naow.
