Science confirms tomb contains mortal remains of Apostle Paul, says Pope

Finding the human remains of anyone is like finding the car they used to drive
or the clothes they used to wear.

Historical artifacts can be useful in trying reconstruct the past just like they are useful for predicting the future, however any dogmatic adherence related to a theory is just conjecture deigned to control the masses

The Christians do not need a skeleton in the closet to become a universal religion. The Catholic Church has already insured that a third of those practicing any religion are practicing Christianity(Islam is a distant second). They have accomplished this with no physical evidence of Christ.

The concept of a Christ(all men as god in the flesh) is not the same as the Neo-Judaich teachings of Paul.(God is outside of man, is jealous and requires
blind obedience)

There's plenty of evidence, people just assume it's wrong. Writings, scriptures, historians, etc etc.

It is the purest conjecture that Paul’s genes would be either Greek or Arabic in nature. We know he was from Tarsus. That is all. If you can show us any proof of his genetic heritage please do.

“so if the genes are eastern, it’s Paul” I must say, the level of proof you require is rather low.

To be so doubtful of religion, you certainly take this particular claim for granted.
