Hi Seeker,

>I think you must be reading the wrong sources, for this academic conformity is not strong enough to prevent truth from emerging. It is a great thing for a scientist to discover something that violates the scientific status quo. Conformity be damned, this is exciting stuff to share and make a name for themself.

You'd like to think that is so, now from an academic:

"In spite of this extraordinary influence-or perhaps because of it-the New Testament has become an object of cultural suspicion. The instinct ot undermine the Gospels has overtaken the postmodern inclination to take their truth for granted. today, indeed, some scholars and writers will go to almost any lengths to avoid the charge of credulity, just as their distant predecessors would have taken almost any action to avoid the charge of skeptisism. The post-Enlightenment world has no stakes at which it burns the heretics who dare to question its orthodoxy. It has instead the pressures of academy, of media opinion and of a disapproving cultural elite, all of which can effectively be brought to bear on a scholar who breaks ranks. The New Testament is indeed worthy of objective analysis. Yet that is not the same thing as the instictive distrust which it has come to inspire in many quarters." Dr. Carsten Peter Thiede & Matthew D'ancona

The Magdalen Papyrus has confirmed the Gospel of St. Matthew to be an eyewitness account to Jesus. Read 'Eyewitness to Jesus', (1994) Many myths of modern skepticism toward dating manuscripts and papyrus fragments are dispelled.
