Reply #22: Dr. Gat's impulse to hide his opnion seems reasonable now [View All]

The original archaeologist who opened the tomb kept his views secret except from his wife, because he feared backlash from the Chistian community. Only now that he is dead has his wife revealed his true feelings.

It's obvious Dr. Gat was correct that there would be a backlash. I certainly see it in the ridicule here. It's simply puzzling (for me as a science person, anyway) to encounter your immediate reactions of "Oh, that's stupid. Case closed. Don't wanna hear anymore, no way, no how."

That doesn't sound like the reaction of inquiring or scientific minds. As the Princeton conference organizer put it, you'd think that the first reaction of anyone hearing the reports would be, "Wow. How'd that happen?"

I guess no one wants to hear any more of this so I'll cease posting any updates.
