Sorry Drich, it just doesn't hold water.
Bullshit.
If you aren't willing to spend the time to watch the movie, take some notes, and have an intelligent conversation about the material, then you're just spamming the thread.
OTOH, if you do want to consider the points made in the film, and engage in a civil discussion about what Mahoney did or did not get right, fine. Let's do that.
The burden is on Mahoney and others to show that the currently accepted theory is not better than the one they're proposing. In other words, show that it doesn't better account for the evidence than Rohl's theory and that it is less parsimonious, falsify it, present unique evidence that only Rohl's theory can explain, stuff like that. Don't just drag on about evidence that the currently accepted theory already accounts for satisfactorily.
