You can always find arguments to support your belief system and disregard other arguments that do not fit in with your beliefs. This is only natural. Because he only chose to choose quotes from people that would like to discredit the documentary it is clear where he stands. I found the film to have a very compelling argument. The filmmakers truly believed they 'may have' found something profound. They are not saying it is definitive proof but encourage discussions and further scientific study. It amazes me how many had their minds made up before it even aired.... I'll continue to view this issue with an open mind and the question.. what if?

Perhaps they believe they are impervious to the same fate that befell many religeons they violently eradicated. Evolution is a fact, scientifically and imperically proven. Jesus was made into the spitting image of Mithras, an earlier diety who was born on Dec. 25th, Born of a Virgin and a God, martyred, and ressurected. Are Mr Jacobivici's findings a fraud? There is no question about the authenticity of the ossuaries. They were found, insightu, by Israeli Archaologists, catalogued and documented! This isn't just some claim! This was painstakingly researched with Doctors, Statistitions, and DNA specialists. There is no certainty that this is the Jesus Family Tomb, but I guarantee it is a better certainty than Christianity itself!

Stand to reason's 'review' said much about the quality of information presented in the documentary and it's reliability.
