Perhaps, as one can't be sure that the original reports are 100% accurate.

Re: Science news of the day thread.
What original reports? The earliest fragment of the new testament we know of is dated from between AD 150-250. It is not about the birth of the (possibly entirely fictitious) birth of Jesus Christ.

Re: Science news of the day thread.
Think what? That the earliest fragment of the new testament we know of is dated from between AD 150-250, and that it is not about the birth of the (possibly entirely fictitious) birth of Jesus Christ? Why, yes, I do. Feel free to correct me if you can. I am always happy to be proven wrong. It means progress - one less mistaken notion in my mind.
