I don't think that it would have. Look, I'm not being critical, but all the scrutiny, science, and scholarship in the world, would not have had the slightest impact on a true believer. Sure...you may pick off a few fence sitters, one way or the other...but the true believers will not be swayed one iota. And...that's fine. |
Ha!! I'm glad you enjoy the (subtle) humor in my posts.
On a more serious note. I think it does matter. At the very least it could help clarify some things and then the different sides could go on to argue something else. Also, "believer" is a bit vague and also dependent upon what you believe. For example, if the science etc proved correct that it was indeed the tomb of Christ then you could still believe that it is the tomb but it still wouldn't affect your faith.
In this case, the only thing it could/would prove is if an actual person of a certain namesake was entombed at that location.
