Hilarious comedian/political commentator Steven Colbert included a bit about this discovery on one of his recent shows on (Comedy Central TV station. )He said something to the effect that it proves even cavemen were Christians...!!! I think it is neat that he included the news item on his show. He is a scream. All that aside, this is such a marvelous discovery.
We know the Word will never be disproved!
