Drich, since you've come out as one of the writers responsible for this documentary, I'll repeat a question I asked before:
If the case made in this film is so compelling, why is it buried in a documentary that was shown in a relative handful of church basements rather than hashed out in the appropriate peer-reviewed journals? And don't give me any of the standard-issue fundie crap about how believers' ideas are shut out of the academy. If there is a real case to be made within the relevant academic disciplines, there is a way to go about it, and pandering to groups of people who are desperate to have their approach to Biblical historicity confirmed is not that way.
It's one thing to not have an answer if you are just another believer recommending a documentary. But since you are allegedly one of its writers, you really do owe us an explanation.
