The number one prerequisite of faith is that it can never be proven though… If it could be, it would just be fact.

People who have terrible lives and aren’t strong enough to take responsibility for it themselves needs the faith to get by in their daily lives. This definitely won’t change that. The faith often times isn’t even at all connected to the details of the scriptures and stuff, it’s just an abstract thing that gives some weak people hope.

So this is pretty inconsequential. The people who believe won’t care, and the people who do not believe especially will not care.

its mildly interesting from a purely historical perspective and also from a muckracking ‘how will people react’ level, but i dont think this is really blockbuster news. no matter what ‘evidence’ he has christians will still go on believing what they want to believe. and as jay said, the onus isnt on others to disprove anything – extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and Christians do not meet that standard.

They’re not trying to disprove anything.
Even if they do conclude that it likely was Jesus’ ossuary, that doesn’t *disprove* that he rose. I don’t think it ever says that the Risen Christ necessarily had all the same atoms as the one that died. It’s more of a spiritual thing.
The real trouble may arise from the “married with a kid” thing.

The thing that drives me crazy with this whole thing is that the burden of proof is on these guys to prove that Jesus didn’t rise from the dead.

Now sit back and let me repeat that. People aren’t satisfied that this debunks the FACT that JESUS AROSE FROM THE DEAD.

This world is backwards.
