Yeah, right.  And he's going to prove it with DNA.  Of course, that means he would have to have an authentic sample of Jesus' DNA, or at least that of a close relative.  Chicken and egg problem, but it sounds convincing to the gullible.

And it still falls down from the simple fact that, if the body were available, the authorities could have produced it to stop the new, disruptive religious movement that claimed Jesus had risen.  And, those who had buried the body would scarcely have gone to gruesome deaths to support the claim.

Ten years from now, Jesus' disciples will still be proclaiming his resurrection, and James Cameron's claim will be a footnote.

It looks like a new attempt to attack the credibility of the faith.

This report is the lead story on the Today Show on NBC this morning.  They just showed a shot of what someone is claiming is the tomb of Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

I don't know who's buried there.  But, the Jesus we know isn't.

And a desperate attempt for attention while cashing in on Dan Brown's financial success...

LOL!

Considering we have the DNA of Jesus' descendents to compare it with, the DNA proves it conclusively....    

(I'll move this and then merge it with the other thread.)

Here's the link that was originally in the above post:  www.jesusfamilytomb.com.

I haven't read the link yet, but I heard the people this morning on the Today Show, and I believe the dna thing has to do with "Jesus" and "Mary Magdelene" (using a different name) not being related, so we know they were husband and wife.

Sounds real scholarly.

The DNA is allegedly from "human residue."  And, marc is right.  It was based on the idea that one sample of human residue was determined to come from someone who was not related to the person from which the other sample of human residue was tested.

Hardly conclusive evidence.

At least, this is what I surmised from the report on the Today Show where Cameron and an "investigative journalist" on the case were interviewed.
