I used to think that way too. Then I heard (and read) Marcus Borg. Without
necessarily agreeing with him on his theology, he does propose a scenario
where a discovery of the bones of Jesus would not negate the resurrected
Jesus Christ.
One has to read Borg to grasp his arguments. He does make a clear
distinction between Jesus the man and Christ the Lord. And he is no flake or
dumbbell.
