What no discussion on the Jesus tomb special on Discovery?

Yawn, old news. It was discovered in 1980. Not newsworthy from a historical point of view then, and not newsworthy now until someone thought, "Hey, the novel Davinci Code made a lot of money, this will too."

DNA to prove it was JC??? Where did they get the sample, a resident "skygod"?

I agree with you, but I was expecting all the agnostics and atheists to chime in.

Well, if it were true one good thing is it would shut Hairyjuan up.

I thought the DNA analysis was to show that 'Jesua' and Mary were not related and therefore likely husband and wife.

Honestly though, I really don't care.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Would this mean that Easter is cancelled?

Well Im an atheist and in my opinion this discovery has very little signifance because there seems to be no real indepenedt verification that inscriptions are genuine,that the tombs came from the same place and the child is related to both man and woman in the tombs. the only DNA evidence was that the man and woman were not related.
The fact that Camereon et al did not subject their thesis to proper critical review indicates thery are not serious about historical truth.
Id love it if there were concrete proof that Jesus was buried and didnt rise from the dead but i dont think its wise to get suckered in to any old claim just because you want it to be true.
