For all of you who believe that Jesus never even existed, wow do i have a question for you...
What is to be said about the recent "discovery" of the tomb and bones of Jesus?
So, doesnt this raise questions about what you hae been saying all along? If those are his bones, it would go to prove Christianity one step closer. If not, it just goes to show that what we have been saying all along, He truely is a God. So...i wanna know what is to be said.

(The bones of Christ....sorta makes you wonder how much faith you have to have to believe in atheism and Darwin huh?)

No, it would go to disprove Christianity one step further, as Christianity states he rose up into the sky, NASA rocket style.

If not, it just goes to show that what we have been saying all along, He truely is a God.

The Bible says he's the son of God, and that he was resurrected. The bones do not prove the first point, and they certainly would disprove the second.

None at all. And even if Jesus existed and flew off to Heaven and somehow managed to leave his bones behind in doing so, it'd not disprove evolution's evidence.

Actually, there is very little evidence that Jesus existed at all.
There are absolutely no writings of him from his supposed lifetime. This is despite the fact that we have hundreds of writings from Jerusalem at the time he was supposed to be there. The Romans kept excellent records of court proceedings and yet this "trial of the century" wasn't mentioned once. Many Jews kept records of prominent Jewish speakers of the time and yet Jesus, who apparently spoke to many thousands at a time, was never recorded. The first mention of Jesus outside the bible was by Josephus, a generation after the supposed crucifiction. And Josephus said that Jesus had a brother. For the first account of Jesus that doesn't blatantly contradict the bible, we have to go another generation. And since we're now onto third or fourth-hand stories, I think we can call Christ's existence into question. If Jesus really did exist and really did speak to thousands of people, how come nobody (NOBODY!) bothered to record it?

There's absolutely no evidence whatsoever, that the 'holy of holies' which the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is the exact spot of the birthplace of Jesus (even if he existed). Which fucks up your claim.

Next question.

"and bones of Jesus?"

Which completely fucks up the very basis of your beliefs, if Jesus was never resurrected in the first place.

Aw, c'mon! It's no fun - least of all an challenge to the ol' intellect - when you fundies annihilate your own arguments for me. And I love to savour the subtle notes of inferiority which come off the charred corpse of your annihilated arguments, which stimulate & thus reinforce my own Atheistic superiority.

'Fundies': The Fun one gets, when their argument(s) - and thus themselves - dies. The clue's in the fucking name, for Dawkins' sake!

Throw me a fricken bone, here! [/Dr. Evil]

"So...Jesus resurrected without his bones, then?"

Talk about 'Floppy'. Then one wonders why computers these days don't rely on 1.5" 1.44 Mb discs as storage; they certainly don't need floppy drives; three letters: USB. Even the old 128 Mb flash drive I have makes it infinitely superior to such (I use a 32 Gb one these days). I have an old 3 megapixel digital camera (which I keep as a spare, should my more modern Samsung 8 megapixel one fail), with a 64 Mb MMC card. Even that makes 35 mm (36 exp) film obsolete. [/geek]

But then, Jesus - even a 'floppy' one - is obsolete.
