Hello all,

In a controversial uproar, the media has been convulsing in a mouth-foaming frenzy to provoke yet another Jesus conspiracy debauchery. Will we be able to properly discern the evidence propounded by this archeologist without his name incidentally being smeared with a pejorative overtone by religious zealots? Can we resist our primal nature to tear at each others necks and let the postulations come without circumspection? I have severe doubts that this study will be able to be properly analyzed by those with the perspecacity and sincere interest without being exaperated by evangelists. This will likely end up analguous to the Da Vinci Code but since the movie reaped the fads prime revenue and interest, it is likely that this will be seen as merely a tentative interest for the morning paper.

That is right everyone - I want to hear some concentrated empirical evidence tracing back to Jesus. However, considering it took them so long to fund the research (likely due to apprehension of scientists to reach empricial venues to tracing Jesus for fear of being murdered by peace-preaching-fanatics that cannot accept change) that I wonder if this will truly be able to launch properly and postulate its evidence without being circumscribed as "circumstantial" by zealots.

The low down:
- Guy found a tomb (in 1980&#33
- Another guy given money to analyze the tomb
- Evidence shows inferential traces to Jesus.

Christians be advised - there is a possibility that you may have to reconsider mundane aspects of your religion - try not to kill anyone.

(I apologise for my slightly hostile tone - it irritates me that scientific research can not be conducted for fear of their life.)
