ping..."the beat goes o-o-n; the beat goes on."

Was just getting ready to ping you. This man claims to have found the burial box for James? Jesus' brother? The man who wrote the epistle of James in the Holy Bible?

Lemaire told The Associated Press the owner wants anonymity to avoid time-consuming contacts with reporters and religious figures. The owner also wants to avoid the cost of insurance and guarding the artifact, and has no plans to display it publicly, he said.

So no one can look at it and no one can talk to the owner. I don't think it's real. But I can see both sides of the issue. I could see that it verifies to the world the existence of Christ and that, at least in the world's eye, more of the stories are true. The question would be though is why? Why would God bother? How would this help spread the message of His love for us through Christ? And I don't see that it could. Researchers could uncover every artifact in Jerusalem and it wouldn't change the doubters minds or prove the divinity of Christ.
