“..the archaeologists think it is the Church of the Apostles because “there is no good reason to question it,”
That seems like a really odd statement. Although I suppose many of these archaeologists are like treasure hunters - and wanting to be “rich” in discovering something really important.
The other pieces of evidence are interesting. I wonder if the guy traveling in ~700 saw any other churches between the two towns.
And does anyone else find it odd that this is perhaps the place where Jesus feeds the 5,000. And the article is written by one Mr. Fish? Coincidence? I think not!

You can't name one who does.
