Part of a body from Jesus' time had a nail place right where the scientists
thought it had to be placed. As for the word hands, that is a question of
translation. I have seen many cases where the same thing can be translated
many ways and I don't mean just the Bible. To me, it isn't a matter of
little details like where the nail was placed but the message that he was
crusified and rose.
