True Lies

James Cameron stirs up a shit storm:

"It looks like things got rolling, buzz-wise, with a TIME magazine blog whisper on Friday, which outlined details on 90-minute documentary in which Mr. Cameron, along with journalist Simcha Jacobovici, say they have uncovered the burial cave of Jesus and his family — along with enough DNA evidence to establish, they say, that Jesus wasn’t resurrected and that Jesus sired a son with Mary Magdelene. "

Predictably, the Dark Ages Preservation society is in an uproar, shooting back with the same platitudes as always, and looking for the evil liberal Hollywood bogeyman behind this, reminiscient of the DNA tests that found that the aboriginal people of this continent are not, in fact, ancient Israelites, as the Mormons profess.

Who knows about the science behind this? It sounds interesting to be sure, but of course, there are those who don't want to hear it.

Since the millenia rolled, science and religion have been duking it out, and I always found it interesting the "faithful" deny science at every turn except when it makes it possible for women to have a litter, because then, its proof of God's Wisdom (What if God wants a particular woman to be infertile?).

Science, then, is nothing more than a vehicle for "faithful" to achieve egoistical ends as opposed to a guiding light to reason and wisdom. I say that if these people are truly opposed to science as they claim with their "Flintstone" Theology and what not, then maybe the next time one of their precious little wonders are sick with Leukemia, that they should pray instead, and see how their faith manifests.
