At least they are looking for proof and are not relying on a 3,000 year old book written by shepherds and fishermen. As far as I have read in this article, nothing suggests that they found soft tissue. They found fossilized remains that “look like” soft tissue structures. Big difference.
Others have found soft tissue, etc. in dinosaur remains of various types.
Those shepherds and fishermen9 you mentioned; a number of them were directly recruited by the Lord Jesus Himself, tutored by Him for 3 years, witnessed His crucifixion, resurrection and ascension back into Heaven, and a bit later were filled with the Holy Spirit.
Yes, when Christ first began with them, in some ways they were dumber than the proverbial Hogan’s goat. But after the Holy Spirit arrived they were transformed into miracle working teachers and evangelists. And they all, except the Apostle John paid with their lives rather than deny the Lord.
Friend, I highly recommend that you read up on General Lew Wallace; a Civil War era general, one time Governor of California, etc. who had a doubting attitude possibly similar to yours, who set out to prove that the whole Gospel story was a myth, that Jesus was a fraud, etc. After years of study and research, he was confronted with such a mountain of proofs and evidence for the reality of Christ and His gospel, and the absolute imperative for one to repent and believe the Gospel, that he got on his knees and invited Christ into his life; and was wonderfully transformed and received eternal life. He subsequently wrote the book “BEN HUR” Sub-titled “A story of the Christ.”
You’re obviously a good, sincere person, and I’ll make a snap judgment that you’re too good a guy to let the devil have you. So I hope you’ll give the claims of Christ an honest evaluation, and hopefully you’ll arrive at the same conclusion Gen. Wallace did.
Blessings.
