i believe that thinking that proving jesus was buried with his wife is going to change christianity is like suggesting that after having your whole family die in a plane crash, you will suddenly change your beliefs in what happened after death (they went to heaven etc) because someone had "proved" there is no heaven or maybe because they had "proven" that there was in fact an afterlife and its nothing but misery and suffering and you will never see your loved ones again.

any sane person would reject those notions reflexively and protect the reality they created to give themselves comfort and help them cope.

faith has nothing to do with fact. neither does religion. its about comfort, sense of purpose in life and security. people believe because it makes them feel better... not because it can be proven to be fact. the arguments of theology are nothing more than theatrics to rationalize an absurd belief system.
