Doesn't anyone recall the St James Ossuary scandal? It wasn't that long ago.

What these scams deliberately omit is common human nature. Those who are beloved and respected by millions tend to lead to lots of children being named after them. It stands to reason that others would be named after Jesus around that time in that region.

Saw a guy on tv tonight (perhaps on Glenn Beck) who said that the James Ossuary was probably not a fake and was being reexamined. Not that I believe it, (and not that it matters a whit to my faith) but I thought it was interesting that when it was brought up, he immediately said it was probably not a fake.
