Seriously?
It could very well invalidate the most sacred belief of MILLIONS of people. Christianity is founded on the idea that Jesus ben-Joseph was the son of God and, as such, was persecuted, crucified and ROSE FROM THE DEAD.
It's a big deal. Most people do like like to have their beliefs called into question. The reasonable one don't like it and the unreasonable ones wish death on anyone who would oppose them.
Now, I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool believer, and I honestly don't care either way.
That said, the "proof" was anything but, and the science was weak. I'd love to see hard academic proof on the subject, but I found little in the special.
