Bones of John The Baptist Possibly Discovered
Oxford University

A team of researchers believe a knuckle bone found buried beneath a Bulgarian church may belong to John the Baptist, the New Testament prophet who heralded the ministry of Jesus.

The archaeologists from Oxford University were surprised that the bones dated from the first century AD, the time of John’s life, and the DNA was consistent with a person of Near East heritage.

Scientists cautioned that although the bones discovered in a marble sarcophagus on the remote Black Sea island Sveti Ivan, Bulgarian for John the Baptist, bare (sic) intriguing similarities to those belonging to the biblical martyr it is impossible to conclusively prove they are John’s remains.

“We were surprised when the radiocarbon dating produced this very early age. We had suspected that the bones may have been more recent than this, perhaps from the third or fourth centuries. However, the result from the metacarpal hand bone is clearly consistent with someone who lived in the early first century AD,” said Oxford archaeologist Thomas Higham in a statement.

“Whether that person is John the Baptist is a question that we cannot yet definitely answer and probably never will,” he said.

...let's highlight, "the DNA was consistent with a person of Near East heritage." No one here has EVER said that scientists can't place your DNA in a specific geographical location, and time....and that's all Stanford University, the Genome Project and Silly-Sforza ever tried to do. It is OUR dummies who insisted that these studies could PROVE they are descended from Ashurbanipal.

...now we have some more dumb scientists saying a knucklebone MIGHT be that of John the Baptist...and why? Because it is SIMILAR to other bones of that region...and time. If they had viable DNA from John's other bones they might be able to say such a thing....but it's all foolishness to even attach a name, any name, to a knucklebone of 2000 years ago. This new "discovery" can join the other ten elbows and three thumbs belonging to the same multi-limbed fellow exhibited in churches, or temples to the gullible, all across Europe.

...what a crock of horseshit religion has been...no wonder we're all so fucking backward and non-thinking.
