As explained by Willow, Christians believe that he indeed rose from the dead body and soul. This was witnessed first by Mary at the tombsite and then by the 10 Apostles later by Thomas (Judas was tied up at the time
). Over the next many days, there were more than 500 witnesses to the arisen Christ.
All the Apostles went to their torturous, brutal deaths (except John who was exiled to the Isle of Patmos) without deny their claims of the resurrection. (These were the same guys who had abandonned and denied Jesus was he was intially arrested).
So yes Tadah, if these truly were the bones of Jesus the Christ, it would matter greatly. History would be totally turned upside down IMO.
