I admit that I didn’t watch the show closely, but every time I glanced at it I heard the word “could” repeated, as in:
- Could the grouping of these names be more than mere coincidence?
- Could this be the tomb of the family of Jesus?
- Could Jesus and Mary Magdalene have been married and had a son?
Yesterday, I said An Inconvenient Truth presents a compelling case for its assertions. Tonight, in The Lost Tomb of Jesus, what I heard was pure speculation, based on some shaky assumptions.
The tone of the show reminded me of “In Search Of…”, the 70’s TV series narrated by Leonard Nimoy. The presentation is a lot slicker today, of course, but as far as I’m concerned James Cameron and his associates may as well be asking, “Could we be descended from alien astronauts, who came to Earth millions of years ago?”
It’s the same, old tactic that’s employed by Fox news when the facts aren’t there to support the assertion. “Hey, we’re just asking the questions. You decide for yourself.”
The best thing that could have happened to these guys was having the chamber sealed up, as shown in the video clip. I wouldn’t be surprised if they staged the scene where they were told to stop. Because now it seems there’s talk about opening the chamber to the public. Could the Lost Tomb of Jesus be a tourist attraction? Click here.
Just had a thought. How long will it take the political cartoonists to come up with the obvious (as one of the tombs is marked “James”). They’ll label it “Jimmy Hoffa.”
Didn’t they find the Harley, surfboard, football, soccer ball, baseball bat and ball? It was right under their noses, proving once and for all this WAS the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth!
