For the record, I think that Jesus' message of forgiveness and salvation through God is more of a cornerstone of Christian faith than whether he was physically ressurected or not. Even so, this is very weird.
Shhhhhh! can you keep a secret
There was already a movie done about this. I cannot remember the title, it was an Israeli-Italian movie where a tomb was found and they found a body in it.
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. -- 1 Corinthians 15:14
"You do know that Joseph, Jesus, and Mary were extremely common names at that time. It wouldn't mean a whole lot finding families with those names, anyway."
Indeed they were. This is just another non-event that won't change the minds of any believer, and will soon be forgotten by even the non-believer.
Cite?
There is a reason that there is little evidence of Jesus outside of the Bible. If there were overwhelming evidence, what good would our faith be?
The Body.
Ring... Ring... Ring... JC: Hello. LAB: Hello, is this Mr. Cameron? JC: Yes, this is he. LAB: Mr. Cameron, we're terribly sorry. Do you recall the lab report we sent you regarding the DNA sample? JC: Yes. LAB: Well, as it turns out, we had a clerical error in the lab and we inadvertently gave your the results from a family in a neighboring village. CD: "Near, Far, where ever you are I believe that the heart does go on...." JC: My God, what have I done ?!!! CD: "You are safe in my heart, and my heart will go on..."
And he probably thinks he's the first person ever to have come up with this brilliant explanation! What a maroon.
Thank you!

If this man and his pitifully partner had any real stones let them raise doubt that Muhammed didn't ascend directly to Heaven.
This would take real guts in that part of the world they could loose their lives and and the lives of their families.
But like I said it does not take any stones to attack Christ.
