'Lost Tomb' begins, ends with no credibility

"The Lost Tomb of Jesus" undermines its own case within the first minute of the show. They say, "The Gospels tell us he was buried in a tomb and two days later Mary Magdalene, one of his closest disciples, found the tomb empty. But according to the Gospel of Matthew, there was another story circulating after Jesus' death. And though the Gospel calls it a lie, there was rumor that Jesus' disciples secretly took their master's body, presumably to give him a permanent burial."
Here they offer contradicting facts from the same source. Which is true? Did Jesus rise again or was his body stolen? If they choose the first option, the show is over. Even though their source (the book of Matthew) calls the second option a lie, they believe this to be true and build their case around it. If the biblical account is fully accurate, then this refutes their find. If it is fiction, it doesn't help them because they can't draw on it for evidence to support their case. Given this, how can any credibility be given to the show?

They fail miserably in trying to prove his body was there by using maternal DNA testing. Why not test the DNA of Mary and Judah in relation to the DNA of Jesus? If they tested Jesus and his mother Mary and found no match, they fail to prove their point. Yet they chose to test the DNA between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. This proved they weren't brother and sister, so they presumed they were married. The DNA test doesn't provide evidence that this is the Jesus of the Gospels, as they want us to believe.

Perhaps the most damage done to their case is when they misquote the Scriptures to prove their point. They say that Mary Magdalene was one of Jesus' closest disciples. The Bible never makes such a claim. They suggest that Jesus said the book of Jonah was the key to his ministry. Jesus never referred to this book as "the key to his ministry." While on the cross, they claim that Jesus was telling his wife to take care of their son. Yet the Gospel of John clearly says he was speaking to his mother.

They begin and end their case with a lot of ifs. If this is Jesus the son of Joseph and if this is Mary his mother, and if this is Joseph his brother, and if this is Mary Magdalene. They begin their case with ifs, but in order to convince us their findings are true, they should end with undisputable facts and not just assumptions. The show did more to damage its own credibility than the credibility of the Bible.
