The Investigator

I was watching a bit of this show and was appalled by how terrible it was. I'm a fan of baseball and the process of investigating what is and isn't good justification for beleif. This show seems to have an awful grasp of both.

The failure to understand an argument from ignorance is very apparent here. The show also seems to find straw-manning and emotional appeals to be convinceing evidence as opposed to tangible proof. I get so sick of theists asserting God is a viable option just because they can straw man poor arguments and poor understandings of atheists. There are an infinite number of unfalsifiable propositions for unknown questions. Anything that one believes must be justified with evidence which can make the claims seem more or less likely true depending on how useful the evidence is. Atheists inability to disprove theism is not a special truth which gives credit to theist claims. No one can disprove that the universe is 1 second old if one accepts a presupposition that everything older than one second is an illusion. We find that one second old universe presuppositions inevdient, but so is any presupposition of the supernatural. There is no way of demonstrating which of two presuppositions is more likely to true. And there is no proof either is true. They could both be false. This is the nature of the uselessness if unfalsifiable claims. No matter how much one wants to accept one it's a foolish guilible exercise to take one seriously.

The show should be cancelled or they should take a basic logic class and take a stance toward actually taking their interests seriously.

He has been shot at...seen much death...as a police sergeant investigating homicides. Now, after mandatory early retirement from the force, he takes a job teaching at a local high school. Sgt. Buonacore will teach his students about American justice.

He must rebuild the school's weak baseball team, earn students' respect, and rise to his students' challenge to investigate the 2000 year old murder of Jesus Christ.

he is surprised to learn...there is a lot of evidence...outside of the Bible itself ...concerning this ancient crime. This story is entertaining. it avoids much of the over sentimentality in some faith based films.

inspired by true events in the life of a police brother of actor Ray Romano...

I think everyone can relate to a story like this. We all have trials and struggles. This is a wonderful true story of how faith interweaves into life events.....and how life events can cause us to doubt God's goodness. I loved it and thought Rich Romano did a fantastic job. Well worth watching. Very uplifting. I am not sure why the reviews are not as good as they should be but I am happy that Rich Romano took a risk and made this movie.

If you have ever been challenged by life. If you have ever asked the questions Why me? If you have ever asked the questions;

Where am I going? or What is my place in this world? Then you will relate well to the story and the characters in this movie. This movie will inspire you and touch your heart. The humor in the movie incited laughter throughout the audience several times while watching the film. Baseball fans will especially enjoy this movie! A great movie for teens, educators, parents and anyone who is facing the struggles of life. A highly recommended film that already has positively impacted many people who have watched this film.

The Investigator is an excellent movie that everyone should see....and bring your children too. It is a movie of real hope and inspiration. It is a real life story about a cop that looses hope as result of "life" and then finds inspiration through teaching at a school. Don't want to give to much away! There are many real life lessons that everyone can take and learn from. It is a mainstream film although it is categorized as a Christian film. Don't let that sway you one way or another. It is about "REAL LIFE" no matter your beliefs, religion, political stance, etc. It is nice to be able to see a film that has a positive message during a time in our lives that has a lot of challenges and obstacles. Thumbs up to screen play writer, Rich Romano, the producer, Nicole and all the cast, crew, etc. I highly recommend this movie. Kudo's to all.
