Journalistic Duty and the Jesus Ossuary

Carl Zimmer has an excellent short post at The Loom commenting on the journalistic duties involved. Go read it–it will only take a few moments, but it makes a critical point.

One of the failures of the Christian response to this is to get over-the-top about attacks on Christianity, when what we are actually dealing with is an unscientific report irresponsibly presented. Zimmer has hit the nail directly on the head on this one.
