It is a pretty cool story.

You know what would be a cool story? If they did that only with collected DNA off of the Shroud of Turin, or say some archaeologists found the crown of thorns or something. And they unwittingly bring about the second coming of Christ and last judgement.

Scientists are starting to reject the big bang theory. now they think that our universe exists inside a black hole:
(ISM) -- Our universe may exist inside a black hole. This may sound strange, but it could actually be the best explanation of how the universe began, and what we observe today. It's a theory that has been explored over the past few decades by a small group of physicists including myself.
Successful as it is, there are notable unsolved questions with the standard big bang theory, which suggests that the universe began as a seemingly impossible "singularity," an infinitely small point containing an infinitely high concentration of matter, expanding in size to what we observe today. The theory of inflation, a super-fast expansion of space proposed in recent decades, fills in many important details, such as why slight lumps in the concentration of matter in the early universe coalesced into large celestial bodies such as galaxies and clusters of galaxies.

Whatever. We will be extinct long before scientists come even remotely close to unravelling even the most obvious mysteries of the universe.
