I saw the last special that Cameron produced with Simcha Jacobovici for the Discovery Channel (or maybe the History Channel). It focused on the possibility that the Exodus took place 300 years before tradition says it does. It claimed to offer proof that the Exodus really happened (which, while I beleive it did, is disputed by many archeologists). He also claimed to have found an image of the Arc of the Covenant and the locaction of Mt Sinai (where Moses received the 10 Commandments).
I watched the special with great interest. To be honest, I would have loved to have seen Jacobovici's claims about the Arc and the Exodus proven true, but this did not happen. Not even close. The "science" he used was flimsy and sloppy. He chained together strings of unproven theories and conjectures, then later used them as proven facts on which to build his next chain of unproven theories and conjectures. His final conclusions were built on so many "maybe"s, "probably"s and "possibly"s that there was just no way to take them seriously from a scientific standpoint. Many of the ideas he presented were facinating and deserve futher research in my opinoin, but he did not prove anything, or even come close to it. It was an hour of interesting conjecture disguised as serious scientific research. I respected his opinions, but they were just that, opinions, not science. The problem was he presented them as science.
Sorry, but if that last special was any evidence of the "science" that Camaron and Jacobovici practice, then I can't beleif that their current endeavor is worth my time. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... I have no problem with the Discovery Channel airing this show, but I personally have no desire to watch a documentary produced by 2 people who have a proven track record of sloppy research and questionable conclusions.
And I never said all Christians believe that, but some indeed do.
