Quote:She added, “This is a very important discovery because it helps solve a big puzzle. We believe this could be start of a wonderful stage of research.”
Errr... what is the big puzzle that this solves? Did people think that Jesus was drinking wine straight out of the clay pot, or something?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Given enough time, it will be deemed a hoax.

Did one of the Indiana Jones movies not depict the Holy Grail as the plain wooden chalice rather than the fancy expensive one?

Glad someone else remembered that reference.

Jones explained it that Jesus was just a carpenter, so couldn't afford a fancy goblet, like the one the man who "chose poorly" picked out. Wink

The grail story appears for the first time in the late 12th century in Chretien de Troyes' story Perceval (Parzifal, in German.)

It's literature. Just like the fucking bible.

Can you imagine Jesus walking around with that gold cup, decorated with jewels ? Come on. LOL I find it an odd coincidence that they picked near Easter holidays to announce this news. God works in mysterious ways i guess

Check the calendar and another possibility may become apparent as well.

Indeed. It bothers me that theistitards constantly confuse Easter with having anything to do with Jesus.

My thoughts exactly.

In other news - world war 2 bomber found on Mars, Loch Ness monster now living in New York, Titanic mysteriously floats to the surface, T. Rex found alive and well in Soho, London.
