Evidence for God from Science

Anyone watch the first episode? Comments?Whenever I see something on either Discover, History Channel, etc, I always expect to see distortions of Scripture, miracles doubted/rationally dissected, hidden agendas, liberal scholar commentary, etc. And as Roma Downey from "Touched by an Angel" is the executive producer, and also plays the Virgin Mary in this series, I also expect to see a range of New Age or a happy, non-judgmental, Jesus, who just wants to give everyone a hug type of scenes. Apparently, it does continue the Photoshopping of Jesus into a very western-featured white man. Add in that Rick Warren and Joel Osteen provide testimonials for it, Mormon Glenn Beck has promoted it, Christianmingle.com is the sponsor, I just wonder how watered down the series is from it's Scriptural origins. Am I too cynical?

I do know that Roma supposedly is a devout Catholic.

Saw the first episode that dealt with genesis and exodus and it sucked.
The history and discovery channels suck when it comes to these things.

Sucked?
How so?
I thought, considering the time contraints that it was a marvelous intro for people who aren't familiar with the Bible. I mean for Pete sake, they even eluded to one of the three visitors to Abraham being the pre-incarnate Christ.

Oh it had some good points but on a whole I didn't care much for it to be honest, maybe because I expected more and I probably shouldn't have since I have seen them butcher the bible and many other things before.
The angel scene in Sodom I found, well, pointless to be honest.
The reasons for Sodom's demise were really not addressed.
The Moses story was, well, lame but like I said, maybe I expected too much.

Was last night's episode new or simply a re-run of the first one?

Dang I missed it again. I wish Gid would give me a little better memory.
When is the next episode guys?

Wow Bippy, your memory must REALLY be slipping! God is spelled G-o-d, not G-i-d.

It's WAY too early in the morning to be corrected by some clown with crazy fingers!

Philip, I thought you "old" folks went to bed at 7pm, and got up at 5am? You should be on your third bottle of Geritol by now.

Rick, you're just one set of snake eyes from me - and it'll get there MUCH quicker than you might think!

You may be right Philip. Time does fly.

If they're adapting the Bible to television, then it's most likely going to be the action sequences, like the Ten Plagues, Parting of the Red Sea, battles at Sodom and Gomorrah, pretty much everything Samson does, and Jonah getting swallowed by a whale. However, the only episode I saw was the one with Samson, who is black in this version. I'm not sure about the rest of the episodes, but it seems more likely that it's just trying to make it entertaining and superficial rather than explaining those nastier parts that atheists love so much.

I see the series replicated the universally displayed and Biblically incorrect manger scenes found all over - the magi and the shepherds were all there at the same time with the infant Jesus. Other than that, last night's episode was quite interesting.

Did anyone else notice that the devil looks exactly like an aged President Obama? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... Obama.html That can't be an accident!

I happened to notice how they avoided the issue of homosexual rape in the Sodom episode.
