"Not possible. I have the bones in a box in my basement."
Geez. I think that movie has already been made.
Gee...that sure was a convenient find.
Got that right!
Bones of Jesus, Mary and Joseph?
I think someone has been dipping into the wine a wee bit too much.
The Jesus I know did not leave any bones as he was resurrected from the dead so I'll refrain from buying into the hype.
Likewise, Mary was assumed body and soul into Heaven.
"Tests prove the names are genetically of the same family and statistically, there is a one in 10 million chance this is a family other than the Holy Family," the pre-publication publicity for the book said."
How many Marys were there in the gospels anyway? Were there any other women by name other than one Martha?
There was a time in England when fully half the men were named by six given names - the classic Tom, Dick and Harry, John and Robert.. and the same for women - Ann, Joan, Mary, Margaret...
Could well be the same in ancient Palestine.

Those Mexicans sure get around. :-)
..some more blasphemous nonsense
the telegraph also brought us this today

the telegraph and al jazeera, are they one and the same?
I've noticed that these "discoveries" and THEORIES (e.g., denial of the Virgin Birth) always manage to rise to the top of the news cycle during Lent, Advent & Holy Week. They receive little notice; then they disappear, only to return at another time of importance to Christians. It's been going on for as long as I can remember...
"Not possible. I have the bones in a box in my basement."
Sorry .. but Jesus was resurrected - BONES AND ALL - so there could never be any "bones" belonging to Jesus.
However, the bones of Abraham and Joseph are supposed to be burried near Hebron.
Easter is cancelled. They found the body.
That's what I would say. Why are they not searching for graves in the Galilee region?
In other news, near Chicago, they found caskets, or boxes of bones, marked with the names of David, Tom and Susan.
Wait, is this using science to try and disprove the existence of God? I thought that science could not do that?
Yeah right! I just finished this book last night, it is called the Templar Legacy(NYT Bestseller right now)and is pure fiction.
Looks like a copycat faux Christian tale that was fabricated just to ruffle peoples feathers.
I am awaiting the book where the remains of MoHAMed wearing a suicide belt are found next.
No doubt, History Channel and Discovery and the usual anti-Christian mouthpieces are frothing to have the usual anti-Christ specials on the topic. Makes no difference how farfetched it is.
The biggest shame of this article is that it is even posted on Free Republic.
How did yesterday's thread go? Several posts were deleted by the Mods, so it may have been interesting to a few.
