I wish I could suspend my disbelief, I really do, so I could understand the genuineness with which believers can rationalise to support their beliefs. I lack the imagination to do this.
As IROC pointed out, the Emporer has no clothes.

But even this, the possibility that it is true, casts major doubt on the resurrection. There would be an X% chance that those bones are his, and that he was never resurrected.

You have a point. But the problem with the case at hand (these "Jesus boxes") is that the scientific rigor is so laughably bad that I'm not even in the least concerned. These guys are obviously "Hollywood whores" as someone pointed out earlier, who will do anything to get themselves on TV and sell advertising. They have no understanding of the scientific principles involved in proving what they claim, their grasp of statistics seems to be limited at best and they have professed to have virtually no understanding of the biblical subjects that they claim to have found.
Aside from that, I guess it's an interesting theory.
