When I first heard of this "documentary" I was irritated by what I regard as another atheist or agnostic liberal trying to defame the name of my Lord. It's been going on for 2000 years and will not stop anytime soon.
At first I planned to boycott The Discovery Channel, but a few days ago I began to feel a nudging in my spirit to watch this program. As I settled in to watch, prepared to be angered and appalled, I found myself shaking my head and chuckling. This program may be the best thing to happen for the cause of Christ in decades! Not only was the research shallow, the assumptions wild, the experts and scientists misquoted, but the production itself was rather amateurish. I have no idea who this canadian dude Jacobici is, but I'm surprised James Cameron put his name on the finished product. I expected something a little more professional and even credible from him.
I watched the "documentary" and stayed tuned for the discussion afterward because I figured Mr. Liberal himself, Ted Koppel would be making every effort to defend this farce. I have gained a greater measure of respect for Mr. Koppel because, even while making it plain that he is not a believer in any religion, he also was honest enough to make it plain that he found nothing credible in this film.
I hope Mr. Jacobici has a double major in business management or something, because, after putting his name on this, he may have to change careers.
