Play stupid games win stupid prizes. That's why it's good to not believe stupid, unrealistic things in the first place. It's a belief that is unfalsifiable.
And there are plenty other compelling reasons to not take the religion seriously, so don't really give a shite about finding or not finding his bones.
Assurance of Accuracy
It’s known that the Gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, wrote more than 30 years after the death and resurrection of Jesus. Therefore, it’s reasonable to wonder how they could remember all the Lord’s words accurately. This was anticipated by Jesus. And it was answered by Him:
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
As the Gospel writers penned God’s words, the Holy Spirit brought to their minds both the things that had happened and the words that had been spoken. This is what is meant when we say that the Bible is God-breathed, or God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16). So the answer to the question about the gospel writers is that they were able to accurately remember and record Jesus’ words because the Holy Spirit brought them to their memories and inspired them to write them accurately.
Additionally, we can be sure that Jesus’ words were accurately remembered and written because God has assured us of this.
1. God proclaimed that His words are true.
Prov 30:5 Every word of God is pure…
2. Jesus proclaimed that God’s words are true.
John 17:17 “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
3. Paul proclaimed the truth of God’s Word.
1 Th 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe.
4. God said that He would reveal truths to His people.
Deut 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
1 Cor 2:9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” {10} But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. {11} For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
{12} Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. {13} These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
5. God gave His words to His people.
Exo 19:6 …. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
6. Jesus gave the Father’s words to His followers.
John 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me;
7. God promised His words would not depart.
Isa 59:21 …my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
8. Jesus promised the eternality (preservation) of His words.
Matt 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away
Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Someone's been prepping for a fanfic. Hey you should make God and Jesus kiss. MWAH!
