Daring scientists question crucifixion

Image of Jesus' crucifixion may be wrong, says study - Yahoo! News

It takes guts to question what most people assume to be reality. Think of all the people around the world who demonstrate a sign of their faith by wearing a cross on their necklace. Some even see visions of the cross. To question whether or not Christ died in the manner that many people now believe to be the truth is an invitation to open yourself up to the wrath of millions. If there is doubt in that manner, as is stated in this scientific paper, then people shouldn't discount it. They can choose to believe whatever they want to, but as long as some people keep an open mind then the quest for the ultimate scientific and historic truth will prevail. It takes guts to be a scientist when you sometimes have to battle against strongly entrenched preconceived notions. As long as the prevailing notion is that the truth will set people free, then we can continue to live in a society where curiosity and a need to get to the bottom of things will be valued. That is the scientific way. Ask Dr. James Hansen from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. He's the U.S. government's top climate change scientist who's been muzzled by his own government for trying to get the word out about the reality of global warming. And he's just standing up for a widely held scientific fact. These scientists who wrote this current paper on the crucifixion don't have any proof, but they have real doubts. Either way, it's thanks to daring scientists like these that we are where we are today. Otherwise we'd still be living in a solar system where the sun revolves around the earth rather than the other way around.
