Why don't James and Simcha try a animated documentary on questioning the life and works of Mohammed?

occupational hazard there

He's pimping off the Bible … He got this guy Cameron, who made 'Titanic' or something like that—what does this guy know about archeology? I am an archeologist, but if I were to write a book about brain surgery, you would say, 'Who is this guy?' People want signs and wonders. Projects like these make a mockery of the archeological profession."

worth repeating

[kinoxi]

It would be unwise to proceed if they had 'succeeded'.

This is a sad reflection of the state of mind of the American people. The fact that he is saying this and not afraid he will be run out of the country. He thinks he will be some kind of a hero. He will have to answer for this.

He's obviously trying to feed off the interest in The Da Vinci Code.

[RichInOC]

Even supposing for the sake of argument that they did indeed have the bones of Jesus and His family...how would they know? How would they be able to prove it?

[Vaquero]

pretty lean evidence no mater how you stand on this issue...this Cameron is grasping at so many straws....at least Dan Brown had the decency to call what he did, 'fiction'.

[Egon]

This sounds interestingly like the premise for "Cross Bones", a novel by Kathy Reichs.

It is so popular for Hollyweird to run down the Christian faith. The other religions in Hollyweird , get a pass. . I am so sick of them knocking the only man who came down to earth and said to love one another and do good to those who curse you. They did not bury their people in boxes in those days they buried them in shrouds , aka the Jewish faith. Remember how Jesus was buried and of course the ol DNA. how does Cameron , a has been know whose DNA it is. How wacked out is this. I hope all Christian religions stand up and sock it to this guy . Me I would like to turn the other cheek and while I am turning put my fist in his jaw. I know all about it, Jesus said we must forgive them because they do not know what they do , but O Lord Just one punch right in the kisser. Pick on Mohamed or L Ron Hubbard , even Moses is looking down here shaking his head today.No matter what they pull Jesus will survive, I know this , but as I said O God just let me have one punch at this Hollyweird idiot!

Its pure economics - plain & simple. The more outrageous the claim, the more press they get. The more press they get, the more money they generate. When ethics disappear from professional standards of conduct, then information becomes suspect, and the market place becomes inefficient and ultimately dysfunctional. This is what has happened with our media, our courts, politicians... our society in general.

[PDR]

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.

[ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY]

This was already made into a movie, Cameron. I believe it was called: "The Body" starring Gabriel Byrne (sp?), and although it had the same provocative plot, it ended positively, and was a fairly good movie. Somehow, I think if YOU remake it, it'll be blasphemous.

[jesseam]

He will be accountable one day for this anti-Christian propoganda. You gotta feel sorry for him---NOT!

[EternalVigilance]

This is the guy who though Leonardo DiCaprio was an actor.

[gcruse]

" People want signs and wonders."

Heh. Someone lurches into honesty, but I don't believe I'd be letting the cat out of the bag, Brother. Exempting religion as the only arena where wishful thinking works, doesn't work.
