Bad

I believe in the message of Christ and his teachings. Now all the stories about his birth and everything about it I find to be "Wishful thinking".

I was looking forward in watching this. What I got was a Sunday School class with poor visuals and no give and take.

I think the same material could be presented "Again" however the Pastor could have a better dialog with the people in the audience. Also when he shows us the visuals its only for a moment. Next time sire get someone that knows how to film something like this.

This will not change anybody's mind

Presentation is everything. This presentation doesn't work. The "Proof" is something that this man "rigged up". I could have done the same thing to better effect.

This same material however could be presented by somebody else with better graphics and you might have a better result.

This just doesn't work.

No Direction

This might of been interesting had the DVD came with instructions on how to download a print a visual aide to help you get a more clear vision of the night of the birth of the Christ Child.

This concept of this special had me excited. I could not wait to watch. Once I started watching what I saw was a hack job of filming and editing.

This is not worth your time.

Excellent presentation.

It has been said that for those who do not believe no evidence is sufficient, but for those who do believe no evidence is needed. Anyone who understands the scriptures will have no difficulty in following Mr. Larson's references. He is accurate in his research and I find it difficult to see how others claim that he somehow glorified himself by exclaming that he is utterly humbled that God would allow someone as small as him to see these things. That is humility-not self glorification. Excellent documentary that old recommend to everyone of all ages.

useful

A profound useful documentary, offering the scientific proves, in precise- seductive manner, about birth of Christ, His crucifixion and the significance, for both events, of astronomic facts.

In a library, a lawyer, starting from a fact near Christmas celebration, demonstrates, in fair terms, a fascinating theory.

In essence, it is a film about faith , from its presumed consolidation grace to astronomy and Bible lines touch to the inspiration to believe.

A documentyry who you feel because not the informations proposed by Mr. Larson are the axis but his honest expressions of faith and questions, doubts, illuminations and emotions behind it.

In short, I believe, a profound useful film for a very large audience.
