Director James Cameron (of "Titanic" fame) is now making a documentary that he says will investigate whether Jesus was in fact resurrected. This is based on the "evidence" of some burial boxes supposedly etched with the name and family affiliation of Jesus.
Two points:
- I have a shoe box with "Adolf Hitler" written on the side. The shoe box can be definitively dated to April of 1945. But that doesn't prove anything. And it certainly doesn't prove the bones inside the shoe box are Hitler's.
- What do you suppose would happen to Mr. Cameron if he came forward to make a documentary about how the Prophet Muhammad wasn't really a prophet at all? Would he enjoy the limelight he is now getting? Or would he be hiding away, fearing for his life?
It's silly ... and it's an annual thing. Each year, as we approach Christmas and as we approach Easter, there's always some story -- Time and Newsweek magazines can be counted on to run these -- that purports to cast doubt upon Jesus and the foundations of the Christian faith. It's the same charges, time and again.
