From the article...

Once the images are up, anyone will be able to peruse exact copies of the original scrolls as well as an English translation of the text on their computer - for free. Officials said the collection, expected to be available within months, will feature sections that have been made more legible thanks to high-tech infrared technology.

Why you so worried about translations. You won't read them anyway lol

Maybe the scrolls will tell us that the bible was in fact compiled by a young, blond boy with freckles.

Nothing. Also, please take your preaching somewhere else - from your chosen username your intentions are rather obvious...

Let's try keep all PD type comments out of this thread and focus on the technology behind this news story.

My username reflects my belief but that's it. Whats interesting is that you guys are happy with this preaching "god does not exist! Deal with it!". That's hypocritical either no one mentions religion or we all can post about it?

Looks like the atheist are offended by my posts and are reporting them. If they so believe that God does NOT exist, why do they feel offended when someone speaks about God?

Maybe because it is not the place or the time?

The time and place for God is always right.
