I don't know how many saw the Discovery special, but I found this review from a Secular Humanist perspective to be incisive and funny.

What possible fields of human interest are there that science will never be able to shed light upon? When is faith ever necessary?

This is interesting and all but it misses the key aspect of religion -- faith. A good religion doesn't much pay attention to scientific findings and I say this with no amount of ill will, irony or sarcasm. It lets science be science and focuses on the spir

Maybe, maybe not. The field of Biblical archeology is still going strong- perhaps stronger than ever- and Cameron et al. won't be attacked just for looking. Books on the search for the Ark have been published in the last five years; the Shroud
