This movie was highly disturbing. It is quite liberal in its interpretation of ancient writings supporting its own pre-invented conclusions. While the links are tenuous and the evidence hardly conclusive the filmmaker, renowned conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, decides to portray his conclusion conclusive. The real evidence, the veracity of which is beyond doubt, supports a quite different truth. The movie hangs or falls, as do most anti-Christian arguments, on the deity of Christ. Whether or not he even existed most sources agree upon, but that is not the debate. The question at the center and core of every scholar's debate is whether or not Christ is who He says He was. For if he was human than his "miracles" could be attributed to psychological fancy or visual tricks. His resurrection could be explained away. If, however, Christ was divine then and only then could the crux of secular debates be chipped away at.

If Christ was human please ask yourself this: Why would a group of 13 lowly men who stole the body of Christ, leaving themselves fully aware of Christ's humanity and falsehood, be willing to commit everything, including their very lives, to a cause to plainly false? Why would these men, standing nothing to gain, risk everything? If they were involved in Christ's "disappearance" would they not have simply sunk into the background convinced of the inability to prove Christ's divinity.

The movie makes plain the "obvious" connections to ancient fallacious worship of the stars and galaxies. Mr. Jones has clearly fantasized the links between Christ and the astrological beliefs. Though the chances of Jesus knowing about all of that folderal is slim it must be considered. However, logic says that the connections could not have been true as there were a number of highly educated people, St. Paul, in his following who most certainly DID know if the connection and discovered it to be false.

But again, the deeper question at the heart of Mr. Jones' unbelief is the accceptance of Christ as divine. If he was all of Mr. Jones' arguments fall away. If he was not then links are true and Christianity is a fraud. All conclusions lead back to Christ's human/divine nature. Evidence shows Christ existed. Evidence AND logic prove that Christ was in the guarded tomb one night and raised the following morning without ever having had his body "stolen". The 13 apostles, in devoting their lives, were keenly aware that Christ was raised as there were multiple eye-witness accounts proven from educated writings such as Paul and Josephus.

Evidence does demand a verdict. This movie puts forward plainly held objections and does nothing substantive to support them beyond bringing forth accusations of falsehoods and hate. The lives of the Saints paints an educated, proven, and disctinctly different picture. Let history and God be the judge of which is true.
