I'm a history nerd. Fascinated by archaeology and the resulting history that gets painstakingly put together literally piece by piece. Biblical history is interesting and because of a great professor I had in college, I have a penchant for using the bible as a history book. So when I was bored on a gray, barely warm Saturday, I thought I'd check "Ancient Secrets of the Bible" out .
It doesn't have the best actors and its filming isn't the highest quality -- pretty much what you'd expect from a low budget filming company. Grizzly Adams, aka Dan Haggerty who owned the production company and has passed away, was a great bear hugger but his company, sadly, was never big league.
There are some interesting tidbits of information actually using archaeological based research that enhance what was written down three millennia ago. I think that's thrilling. That people from the past wanted the future to know about them. That intrinsic human need to be remembered after you die. Unfortunately, the producers expose their ultimate goal, to denounce science and put forth ideas directly opposed. Some, such as dealing with mitochondrial Eve and the "first" Adam, are so badly misunderstood and misrepresented, even God is embarrassed. Everything we are learning has come to us in a relative blink of an eye. What started only around 150 or so years ago is going to change and evolve as more information comes to us and incredible things are revealed. And, golly gee, there have been and will be frauds -- some people will do anything to be the center of attention.
Creationists shouldn't hate so much and spend less time (and money) trying to disprove something simple and that may end up somewhere unexpected. After all, that's the beauty of science and the reason God brought it into being.
