When did we get a sample of Jesus' DNA to compare?

Its coded into the Bible. Check every 42nd letter...

This only works with the REAL bible, aka King James Version

I'd be more interested/curious if it was coming from another source. The man who made Titanic and Pearl Harbor hardly seems credible.

I thought Michael Bay was the one responsible for Pearl Harbor (per Team America, World Police)

Bay and Bruckheimer, according to IMDB.

Yeah, as soon as I saw those names I remembered and I realized I had made a mistake. Thanks for the correction!

It still won't change anything, except it will give atheists another talking point.

I'm surprised to see so many people brush this off. Wait, no I'm not.

How about you wait and examine the evidence before you dismiss it as bunk? Obviously there's a large burden of proof here, and Cameron obviously feels confident enough that he's willing to stake his entire reputation on it.

How will it give atheists something to talk about?

 

[Kadarin]

Even if it all turned out to be true, Christians would refuse to believe it. Religious people never, ever let facts get in the way of dogma.

Also, please put "archaeological" in your title (with quotation marks)

I didn't know Cameron was related to Geraldo.

It isn't true though, as others have pointed out there wasn't just one person with the name Jesus. Its just trying to scrape up some "evidence" that doesn't exist is all.

true...it would just be signs of the end times...false prophets and non-christians making stuff up.

Everyday some idiot makes the Bible more credible. Cameron is today's idiot. Anyone who claims to be Christian (Christian, meaning one who believes in and follows the teachings of Jesus of Nazerth, the CHRIST - CHRIST was not his last name it was what and who he was) is knowledgeable enough of the Bible to know and expect all manner of claims denying the Christ. As we pass further into the centuries, 21st, 22nd etc., the claims will grow wilder and louder and seem evermore irrefutable. Check the Book Revelations - we now live in the "end times.":clock:

Jeremiah is also a good reference -

They only accepted that the world was round when reality beat the piss out of them, not to mention the universe revolving around us...etc.

You could come up with rock solid evidence that Jesus was nothing more than a normal preacher and that the Bible was nothing more than an elaborate book of fables and fanatics would dismiss that evidence as BS. Why? Because faith doesn't rely on reality, it relies on personal choice to believe something which cannot be proven or disproven by reality.

The entire world believed it was flat and at the center of the universe. It wasn't just Christians.

I've gotta believe if this were serious the scientists and archeologists involved would not allow such an important developement to be announced/publicised by the likes of Cameron. More likely it would unfold in a far more scholarly environment

The fact that's its being heard about, by most for the first time, in the form of a Cameron film suggests to me that this discovery has not been able to gain much traction/publicity or respect over the last 27 yrs.

I would expect that these artifacts (coffins etc) are the property of the state of Isreal; if they actually thought that they had the remains of Jesus, Mary etc I'd be surprised to see them allow Cameron to haul 'em around NYC etc for publicity.
