By now, you may have heard about a new documentary coming out in which Titanic director James Cameron and Canadian filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici claim that they have found the remains of Jesus, his wife, Mary Magdalene, and their child.
The story can be read here: http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2007/02/26/jesus-tomb.html
Most scholars and Bible experts refute their claims. And it's a bit far-feched for me (like some da vinci code thing). How can they actually prove that they are Jesus' bones? And since Jesus was resurrected, are they even bones to be found?
Which leads to a bigger question, does this supposed "discovery" make a difference to our faith? Does this show the validity of the existence of Jesus? Or does this discover refute Christianity?
The documentary will air on Vision TV on Mar. 6th. I'll be watching, but it certainly isn't going make a difference to me or my faith. What are your thoughts?

Come again?
Cameron and Jacobovic's claim that they're not trying to undermine Christianity shows they're trying to be nice but are ignorant at the same time. "Excuse me, the central event of your religion, turns out, didn't take place - but - no offense."
