Dr. Bock,
I thought you did a great job on the Koppell show. What came across to me is how selective the creators of the show can be. Where the Bible supports their position they use it, where it contradicts them they discard it, and they do the same thing with the "science".
My impression and opinion is that few will be swayed to disbelieve any of the core Christian teachings because of this show. I could be wrong, but the nature, style, and presentation will lead people not to take this very seriously. The current culture is gullible, but this wasn't on Oprah - so I think it will fade out rather quickly.
