The earliest established sites of Christian worship in the region date from the 3rd century, and the claims of al-Hassan and his team have yet to be fully tested.
The earliest Christian Worship was the Church of Saint Georgeous that existed in the 3rd century!

Re-read the article. The cave was dated between 33-70 A.D.
St. Georgeous Church existed in the 3rd century.

Yes it does prove Jesus existed before the N.T.

Quote:As I said earlier you have yet to prove this man is a Muslim.
Christians are executed in Jordan. There's your answer. Do you think Islamic radicals would allow this man to provide evidence of CHRIST on Islamic territory?

Quote:It's YOUR claim, YOU ask Hassan, while you're at it you might try confirming the claim above.
I would love to ask Al-Hassan, but apparenly Islamic Leaders in Jordan have halted this story from going any further. Gee, I wonder why?

Quote:Er ... no we're not and quite frankly you're being at best disingenuous, at worst lying, to say "we" (as a group) are.
Atheists have some explaining to do.

Quote:Apparently such claims need some for of supporting and rationally interpreted evidence as well ... perhaps you'd be so good as top provide something a little more weighty than OPINION.
This cave was not a matter of opinion. It was based on facts. That's why Islamic leaders threatened this guy.

Quote:Nope, nor do I greatly care ... please prove Hassan is a Muslim.
In case you didn't know. Openly admitted Christians are persecuted in Jordan, and most of the Middle East.

Quote:Your friend told you? Oh Lord, my eyes have been opened! Just get to it will you? Prove this Hassan is a Muslim.
I didn't claim it to be true. I just told you what I heard in another forum. But I doubt it to be true since openly public christians are killed in countries like Jordan.

Quote:And when it is I'm sure we will accept it even if a little unwillingly but until that day please, be a good chap, and provide some [expletive deleted] evidence!!!
The evidence has been exposed.

"They will be without excuse!"

That means You!

A book without a way of verification of its validity outside quotes from the same book is not evidence.
A building is evidence that religious people used a building, it is not evidence on the existence of what they believed existed. The parthenon is not evidence that Athena existed.

You claim Dr Al-Hassan has evidence, present it. The article doesn't do that.
More pictures are showing up across the internet.
