While I enjoyed Jacobvici's presentation for various reasons, the evidence and the conclusions seemed quite lacking. I almost felt bad for him in the Koppell discussion because he was definitely put on the defensive, even by Koppell himself. Almost. The documentary was incomplete, it didn't tell the entire story. That was Jacobvici's prerogative because he was making the film, but when it is presented as complete and the only possibility, that is being dishonest.
Hype was created, there was a buzz, but for what? The apologetic in me was hoping for more of a fight (I know, I really shouldn't ever hope for that) but their claims were based on so many ifs that that statistical probabilities just don't hold much weight or merit.
The debate is definitely interesting, but I am still confident in the bodily resurrection of our Lord. :)
