WorldNetDaily: New film to prove accuracy of Bible?

The film is a documentary, which Dr. Lennert Moller at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, hopes to release in the spring of 2007. It covers a wealth of archaeological evidence, including chariot wheels at the bottom of the Gulf of Aqaba, that prove the authenticity of the historical stories in Genesis and Exodus, beginning with the career of Joseph, who had an incredible eighty-year career as grand vizier of Egypt.

I am of two minds about this. I know many fellow churchmen who are determined never to darken the door of a cinema house again, because of the agenda-driven ordure that Hollywood cranks out. That this film doesn't come from Hollywood might--or might not--make a difference. Perhaps some churches would better receive Dr. Moller as a guest speaker, bringing slides showing his finds and taking questions (and perhaps a designated love offering). If I had the evidence he had, that's how I would proceed.

That said, if you see no other film in your life, but want to know what film could do in good faith, see this film. But better yet, read your Bible in full confidence that not only is it historically accurate, but it should set the gold standard for the history of the ancient world.
