The story broke only after the scientists had gotten their findings accepted into peer-reviewed scientific publications. Even then, the conclusion that the Mars meteorite contained signs of life was probably false, and later proved to be highly unlikely to be true.<BR/><BR/>I would have wished that the people involved in this documentary would have gone through the same effort. It would have been my wish that the archaeologists involved in this documentary would have put their efforts first into getting their findings accepted into peer-reviewed journals, and then created the documentary based on what the peer-reviewed journals found reasonable.<BR/><BR/>I see no sense in taking the case to the public first. I find this to be intellectually reckless.Alonzo Fyfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687777216426347054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-57455083470915187512007-02-28T22:26:00.000-07:002007-02-28T22:26:00.000-07:00I’ve written a comprehensive rebuttal to claims an...I’ve written a comprehensive rebuttal to claims and evidence of this film.

The director himself makes the exact same statements in interviews on the official site: www.jesusfamilytomb.com<BR/>Nobody is saying that this is conclusive. They're just presenting some finds that have been analyzed and that they think the public should know about. They're actually <I>interested</I> in pursuing the issue and not trying to hide valuable information like others might have done.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940904253917087536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-48147788552360613042007-02-28T05:34:00.000-07:002007-02-28T05:34:00.000-07:00"Cameron clearly has the right to be free from vio..."Cameron clearly has the right to be free from violence or punishment for producing this documentary. This does not remove his guilt that his documentary contains an invitation to intellectual recklessness and irresponsibility."<BR/><BR/><BR/>Along with this line there are a few moments where you suggest moral condemnation for James Cameron. Do you mean to suggesting that Cameron is being intellectually reckless, and deserves moral condemnation? If so, I disagree on the grounds that his documentary is not meant to convince anybody, but rather supply a few facts and allow a viewer to draw as much of an opinion as one can in only 45 minutes. I have not seen anything suggesting Cameron's intent is that we should be able to draw a final conclusion after watching this documentary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
