More Pudding Proof

The Codex Sinaiticus Project has finally started publishing the oldest known Bible manuscript to the web. This document is dated to about the year 350, and contains several books of the Bible, such as 1 Chronicles, Psalms, and the gospel of Mark. 

The Codex is significant because of its age, its condition, and its contents. It is a true book of antiquity, something most of us have never seen, so having it at our fingertips is remarkable.

I'm sure this document in and of itself won't make a convert of anyone, but it goes a long way to shutting the mouths of detractors and skeptics of Biblical antiquity.
