Apologize for what? Either the box and the inscriptions are real or they are not.

The BIBLE says that Jesus had four brothers. One of them was named James.

The Bible says that Joseph refrained from having sex with Mary UNTIL she had delivered Jesus.

The fact that there are some skeptics who question the archaeological finding is normal. ALL Archaeological finds are questioned by someone somewhere. Skepticism is a natural and normal part of ALL archaeology.

I ask you, Polycarp, in the name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God, did you, or did you not, write the note that I reposted, saying that the early church believed that Joseph had a wife BEFORE Mary that produced the four brothers of Jesus, James, Jude, Joses, and Simon?

I did not write it. It was written by a Catholic apologist, if my memory serves me correctly. If I failed to post its source at the time, my apologies.

I've just dug up your old posts from previous threads on this bone box hoax.

Care to go tit for tat, or shall we both admit this was just a bad hoax, and we both made statements that have proven to be (to a greater or lesser degree, not commenting on whose was greater and whose was lesser ;-) both insupportable and even laughable given these latest developments?
