Addendum: The P. Rogue Code.
In the end, the Lost Tomb of Jesus was a lot of hot air. It reminded me of a lot of the UFO or Ghost programs these supposed channels of learning run. For every good show, like Mythbusters, you get a dozen Ghost Hunters. It is a damn shame that real science, devoid of agenda, isn't more popular. Why does reality need dramatization? Every single time I think about the incredible physics and math knowledge it takes to aim a probe at an outlying planet and actually get it there my mind explodes. Only in my most vivid fantasies could I be a NASA engineer. These guys work perfectly terrestrial miracles that no purveyor of pseudo-scientific fluff could hope to dream of. We might as well just make reality up, rather that deal with actual reality.
I am with the Christians on this one. It is just a fluff piece seemingly meant to do nothing more than benefit from some controversy. The science isn't even very well thought out, and the correlations and assumptions were everywhere. It was about as much a statement of reality as the Da Vinci Code was.
What I don't understand, is why do people seem so determined to stir up controversy? Is it really just pure profit? More could not be done to undermine all religious traditions, if that was your goal, just by advancing pure science. You don't need to tear down anyone if reality is quite literally on your side. I like reality for what it is, not for what it is not. I don't need to study every single religion before concluding that their supernatural claims are just not true. I feel safe in concluding that supernature doesn't exist, period. Until such a time as the Heavens split and someone explains how stars light years away make me a good listener, they can all kiss my ass.
Word!
