Well, there are numerous relics of saints. Why can't we have fossilized foreskin of Jesus?
and sorry chimp, Jesus is more special than you will ever be.
Several reasons why we don't have the fossilized foreskin of Jesus:
1. Soft tissues rarely fossilize, except under very special circumstances.
2. Desert environs don't promote fossilization very well.
3. 2000 years isn't enough time for anything to be fossilized.
4. Jesus' foreskin is about as likely to be discovered as (for example) King Arthur's nose or Gilgamesh's pinky finger.
And - for the record - chimp is far more special and valuable than Jesus.
