does it really matter.... it will take more than something like this to shake my faith. And I suspect it will have little impact on our ability to witness to the unchurched either.... if it really exists as described, I am sure there is an earthly explanation for it all.
"does it really matter..."
Yes it does. The corrupting of the documentary concept has an impact on a large portion of the population that was raised by the counter-culture of the '60s. Stone got the ball rolling with "JFK". People in their twenties and thirties get their historical "facts" of that time from that movie. But that was just a movie. Michael Moore took the documentary to a place where fact has no meaning. Documentaries are driven by political agendas, regardless of the truth. "An Inconvenient Truth" is a further prodding of documentaries away from truth. While Moore's stuff is political in nature, the Al Gore piece shrouds itself in the mantle of scientific proof.
Cameron's film might as well been titled, "An Inconvenient Myth." The strategy is the same. What credentials do Gore and Cameron have to be experts in the fields of their documentaries? If Cameron is a non-believer, so be it. Just shut and make films. Leave archeology to the experts.
Who will it be, Gore or Cameron, that makes the documentary, "An Inconvenient Lump" and want to perform mastectomies on the Kodak Theater stage? These people are pompous asses that are allowed to spew their garbage because of the support of the radical left and a multitude of folks who have been left to their own devices to find an ethic and morality to live by.
So Dorothy, it does matter.
