The Icon Collector

Ever since he was a child, Manny Benson was fascinated with ancient Biblical artifacts, archaeology, and mythology. He would bend the ear of anyone unlucky enough to be within range to expound upon his newest idea on what happened to Noah's Ark, the Ark of the Covenant and whose image it was on the Shroud of Turin. But, more than anything else, Manny loved to talk about his theories concerning the blood of Christ.

"Imagine if the blood of Christ was actually in this clay pot," Manny said. "Scientists around the world would go crazy wanting to analyze it. Think about it. If Christ was actually born of a virgin, then God was his actual birth father, not Joseph. At conception, there are forty-six chromosomes necessary to create a human being. Twenty-three from the biological mother and twenty-three from the biological father. If God was the biological father of Christ then twenty-three chromosomes imparted to Christ at conception are divine. Anyone discovering even the tiniest drop of the blood of Christ would be discovering the DNA of God!
