Remember when that guy who made the Titanic thought he and his friends had found “the Jesus Family Tomb”? Well it seems passing on Terminator 3 wasn’t his biggest mistake.
Two months after Discovery ran a LONG documentary with all sorts of smarty pants telling us the odds of this tomb belonging to that Jesus were 600:1 they are changing their tune. Those statements are now being changed.
Here’s a quote from The Jerusalem Post article:
a statement on the Discovery Channel’s Web site, which previously read “a statistical study commissioned by the broadcasters…concludes that the probability factor is 600 to 1 in favor of this being the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth and his family,” in keeping with Feuerverger’s statement, has been altered and now reads, “a statistical study commissioned by the broadcasters… concludes that the probability factor is in the order of 600 to 1 that an equally ’surprising’ cluster of names would arise purely by chance under given assumptions.”
It’s not just the odds that are changing, most of the scholars that are quoted in the film have made statements that basically say the filmmakers were more interested in breaking out their “Jump to Conclusion Mats” than making factual statements.
Soooo…. there may be a tomb under some apartment building that has 10 people with familiar names in it… but there’s another one that’s empty because CHRIST IS RISEN!
