Here you go, Summer. Candida Moss is one of the top early xtian scholars going.

Quote:Oops! Jesus’ Last Steps Are in the Wrong Place

Anyway. Here is your answer.

Quote:Indeed, the remains of Herod’s Palace beside the Tower of David were first discovered in 2001. So why is this find making news now? The answer seems to be that this is the first time that tourists will have access to the site and archeologists will be able to profit from Christian interest. The archeological find, some fifteen years in the making, has made headlines only now that the museum has started to offer public tours. The director of the Tower of David Museum, Eliat Lieber, expressed the hope that the prison would eventually become a standard attraction for Christian tourists. History has become news, and now it’s open for business.

Quote:“There is, of course, no inscription stating it happened here, but everything — archaeological, historical and gospel accounts — all falls into place and makes sense,” Gibson said.

Right.

The problem is Gibson is a well respected archaeologist, so he tends to get listened to.

If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

And Einstein rejected QM. The argument from authority is a fallacy for a reason.

I totally agree, I was just pointing out how reputation is no guarantee of quality.

If you can find it get hold of " The Myth of Persecution: How Early Christians Invented a Story of Martyrdom ." She's a very good writer.

Pretty sure that's what they interviewed her for - the car ride passed wayyyy too quickly for that discussion. It's been on my list.

They're really excited because there's an outside possibility one part of the New Testament wasn't made up?

Wow they sure are easily pleased.
