    Does not help with credibility...
    Technically speaking, most of the characters from the early parts of the bible are Israelites- no one is quite sure exactly how they looked back then, but probably somewhat close to Israelis today look. And the accent, well they'd all be speaking Aramaic, and since no one speaks that language it'd sound like gibberish without subtitles and we'd all be lost!

    Thanks to all in this thread for the heads-up. I'll be sure to check it out.
    Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

    They're airing it tonight on History, plus an encore presentation Sunday at 3PM MST before they air the new episode at 5PM... Just FYI.

    Doesn't look like they are going to sell episodes in iTunes or amazon either.

    It was more just the way it was presented on the show. My catechism classes showed the angels with one sword each.

    Well according to Mel Gibson, he is the second coming of Christ...
