Sure. All science has to do is provide proof that the bones found buried in a grave in Jerusalem belong to the historical Jesus of Nazareth, and Christianity has been proven to be false.

St. Paul says as much. “If Christ is not risen, then our faith is in vain”.

That’s the thing though, Christianity could be wrong about what God is like, and Jesus could still have been divine. The problem with divinity is that there is no “divine-o-meter” you can stick in someones ear to find out if they’re divine or not. If Jesus existed, it is possible that he was divine. Ghengis Khan might have been divine, or Gilgamesh, or Ghandi.

Sure. big shrug.

Not sure how this is anything more than an unsubstantiated claim, but…ok.

And that’s it in a nutshell.
Science does wonderfully what it does, and at the same time it can’t tell us much about being, meaning, identity, purpose.
It’s great, and it’s limited. What’s beyond those limitations?

Yes Science is very limited, but it acts like it is not. There lies the rub!

Regarding this alleged excommunication–I’d like to have 4 independent journalistic accounts of this alleged excommunication, written within 30 years of this incident.

Also, if there were something written by Dr. Naranjo that documents this excommunication and why it occurred that would be helpful.

And no inaccuracies, please, with anything that any of these 4 independent journalists have written.

I wonder what the haters will spin this excommunication’s cause as, 50 yrs from now:

Has science discovered the bones of Jesus? Is science likely to? How?

Not the point, C3.

There* is *a way that science could disprove Catholicism…and that is by presenting the bones of Jesus.

You are agreed about this, right?

If the bones of Jesus are presented, Christianity is false.

“If Christ is not risen, our faith is in vain”.

It’s been 2000 years, and science has yet to offer any archaeological or biological proof that Jesus is still dead and buried, so…🤷

Also, please see what the estimable Catholic philosopher Peter Kreeft has to say about this:

“But if the bones of the dead Jesus were discovered in a tomb outside Jerusalem, that *would *contradict the Faith. If the bones were truly Jesus’ bones, that would disprove the Faith; it would prove that Jesus never really rose from the dead. But nothing like that has ever happened.”
