The Coffin of Jesus?

Surely this will be at buzz for a few weeks. Titanic man James Cameron will show the world that the coffin and body of Jesus have been found....My brief thoughts on this kind of thing?

1.) Good to be reminded that every Christ follower should be able to give some loving & intelligent response to every new "discreditor" of Christianity. And helpful to reply with, "I can't make the leap of faith required to trust (in this case) James Cameron."
2.) A life transformed by the power of the gospel of the risen Christ is THE ULTIMATE apologetic... actually, John 17 makes me say that lives transformed living in community in the church are the ultimate apologetic.
3.) Don't get sidetracked. I'm actually old enough now to know that this is -- like the 15th or 30th -- thing like this to come along in 20 years of following Christ. Don't "waste" much time on trying to defeat it.
