No doubt the Piltdown Jesus. Just hope I’m around to see the experts squirm out of this one..

Was there only one guy named Jesus back then? I had once read that it was fairly common. Why do they believe this refers to Jesus Christ?

It is still just a money scam. In order for Harvard to own this one item they have to buy the whole collection from the anonymous owner.
Too many prior frauds, too many people consider this a fraud all by itself, too much inconsistent with other actual history.
the only people who seem to buy this without question are those who believe the previous fakes are not fake.

OK, you lost me after those first four words.

The next extraordinary discovery will be a partial text which seems to indicate Jesus was against global warming.
Topicality is always suspect.

I am a layman. But because the size of the fragment, according to the NY Times is smaller than a business card, then we have no context. (1) Who don't know who this Jesus was, but it wasn't Jesus Christ. (2) Jesus Christ had a wife--a bride. In the New Testament, his wife is called The Church of Jesus Christ. In Tanakh (the Old Testament), his bride is the Jewish people. In only non-canonical works (usually gnostic gospels) is there any hint that Jesus the Messiah (the Christ) had a human spouse. That means, discount this story in its entirety.) (3) Context is king. Without context, we have nothing on which to base any interpretation.
Liberal theologians would like nothing better than to lower the Lord Jesus Christ to the level of human being. They are playing with their eternal destinies in doing so. (Yes, Libertarians, that means I believe there is a Hell.)

He could’ve been married during those missing years, before she divorced him and kicked him out of the house!

I find it scientifically hard to accept a narrative based on one text that no one knows who wrote and when. The Gnostic gospels say different things as well
