Excavating The Empty Tomb

[Brian37]

Sane doctors heal people all the time! Even of blindness...something Jesus said He would cause in certain people!

I believe that Brian was referring to George Washington. In other words, we accept that he existed, but not that he did anything supernatural. Ergo, positing that there are references to a historical Jesus means only that a man named Jesus existed, not that he cured the blind or went to the moon in a space ship.

Maybe I simply didn't dumb it down enough. Maybe someone needs a "See Spot Run" version, but I don't do children's books.

But in the interest of giving it another shot.

This tactic I used can be used for the Koran as well.

Even if we found the bones of Mohammed it still would not make divine revelation true or any fantastic claim in the Koran true nor would it make Allah a real god.

We can prove the Pharaohs existed but that never made the sun a thinking being which they falsely believed for 3,000 years.

Just like we know George Washington was real, but no sane person would claim he could fart a Lamborghini out of his ass.

Otherwise Superman flying like he does in the movies is true because we see him flying around the real New York City.

The only thing finding the bones or DNA of a man named Jesus would do, is prove that a human started a cult.

Wouldn't it be funny if they did find Jesus' bones (assuming he actually existed)? That would sure shoot holes in their resurrection myth.

No, unfortunately the opposite would be true, they would simply be more intrenched and claim his body was a shell but his "spirit" is still alive.

Their bullshit logic works as soon as they say "God can do anything", that allows them to move the goalposts.

The Shroud of Turin is clearly fake but people still cling to that.

Even with the Shroud had been dated to that time all it would mean is a mere man was buried in it. It still would not make godsperm real or disembodied magical invisible super heros real.
