Do you think this is the earliest New Testament scroll fragment found? Does anyone have any updated information on this?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My personal thought when I read the article was this is so small. It could be anything. The only way to see the time frame is to do that test on it to see how old it is. I looked at the parchment, I personally couldnt make out anything. Just a few letters. And I am no expert, I have no clue what language they are in. Does anyone else.
How exactly are they getting that this is from the gospel?
I'm not much help
Sorry. I am new to this stuff. I do however find it very interesting.

I would have liked to have seen something like this analysis for the famous John fragment.
It is small, isn't it? I don't think any identification with Mark can be made on the basis of those few letters -- the URL in the original post points out several other extant texts that it might come from.
