That's an unclear question. Do you mean to say one of the following ?:
A) Would you still pray to the cross if scientists prove it's where Jesus died?
B) Be proud that you pray on the cross if scientist prove it's where Jesus died?
C) What will scientist say is the manner Jesus was killed on the cross if indeed it is proven?
D) What will you do with your crosses if scientists prove it's not where Jesus died?
E) How do you think will scientist prove that Jesus was crucified on the cross?
F) None of the above
LOL

It is all symbolism anyway. Personally, I don't like the idea of showing a dead guy on the cross. I'd rather show the symbol, not of His death, but of the Resurrection (we have nothing to show that) and the life that is ours in the belief in Jesus Christ. If it was a pole, a drowning, the electric chair or a bullet, the death of Jesus is not the issue. It's the sign of your personal belief in God that is the point.
If I had to wear a stick, a shell casing or a little chair I guess that would be fine, too. It doesn't matter for that's not what is at issue.

I think I can get past to poor English and understand your question. I have 2 answers...
1.) No big deal. He was still killed with the same technique.
2.) Check the Roman history of crucifying. They were known for this practice and it is easily verifiable. You are wrong on this point and, by the way my Jehovah's Witness friend, Jesus was not just an Angel. He was "The Alpha and Omega", "the word(God) made flesh", "Mighty God, Everlasting Father". etc. etc. etc.

Did Jesus
Really Die on a Cross?
THE cross is one of the most recognizable religious symbols known to man. Millions revere it, considering it to be the sacred instrument on which Jesus was put to death. Roman Catholic writer and archaeologist Adolphe-Napoleon Didron stated: “The cross has received a worship similar, if not equal, to that of Christ; this sacred wood is adored almost equally with God Himself.”
Some say that the cross makes them feel closer to God when they pray. Others use it as an amulet, thinking that it protects them from evil. But should Christians use the cross as an object of veneration? Did Jesus really die on a cross? What does the Bible teach on this subject?
What Does the Cross Symbolize?
Long before the Christian era, crosses were used by the ancient Babylonians as symbols in their worship of the fertility god Tammuz. The use of the cross spread into Egypt, India, Syria, and China. Then, centuries later, the Israelites adulterated their worship of Jehovah with acts of veneration to the false god Tammuz. The Bible refers to this form of worship as a ‘detestable thing.’—Ezekiel 8:13, 14.
Ezekiel 8:13 "And he continued on to say to me: “You will yet see again great detestable things that they are doing.”
14 So he brought me to the entrance of the gate of the house of Jehovah, which is toward the north, and, look! there the women were sitting, weeping over the [god] Tam´muz"

Well, first you have to stop using the word "crucified" since that means to be nailed to a cross. If Jesus was put on a post, you'd have to say that he was "posted."
3M would either sue or pay the scientist to keep the story from coming out.

Most of the things events described in any religion are symbolic or metaphorical. What if the son of God is not crucified on a cross.? It represents the holy symbol of BURDEN that Christ carried for us and was crucified for our sake on the same cross.The faith and respect for that cross signifies sacrifice and 'tribulation 'that you have to undergo as the litmus test to attain the places at His abode. The comparison is very evident in Bible-
1)Whoever doesnot take their cross and follow me is not worthy of me -Mathew, 10, 38
And many more such references .... Better one reads them in their context as quoting and refering noway comes close to the beauty and glory of the original. Trouble comes and erupts into interreligious hatred when many of these things are tried to be 'read' verbatim and not 'realizing' the inner meaning and missing the solace and spiritual joy for evidences and accuracies .But you are relevant and faith doesn't depend upon symbol it is only a symbol for faith .

I don't use the cross as a symbol of my relationship with Christ, anyway, because it is an instrument of his torture, and therefore, it is disrespectful to him.
It's really icky when the suffering and humiliated Jesus is portrayed on the cross, too, barely dressed.
I prefer to remember the living and resurrected Jesus. He atoned for our sins, but he also taught us that we will also live again if we accept that atonement
So I don't care if no one used the cross as a symbol

I am sorry to have to disappoint you but do you really think that scientists are interested to prove this ? since for over 2000 years no one questioned , except now you. So what would you do to persuade scientists to find the answer so that you can have the answer to your question.

I'm not sure why people wear a symbol of a violent death anyway. The bible commands that symbols, idols are not to be worshiped. God is a spirit and Christians worship God in prayer , which is in spirit.
It make a lot more sense that Jesus was put to death on a post. your second question is no.

Scientist are often trying to "prove" that which can not be proven. They are often completely certain of their facts until another one "proves" them wrong.
In Science you have only theories and they are in a constant state of flux. If you do not like the current theory, just wait a little while and another one comes along.
I do not plan on changing my views on faith based on the changing theories of scientists, instead I will base them on the Unchanging Word of God.
Hope that helps.
