Interesting how some people, generally the ones that treat Atheism as a religion, tend to claim that anything is 100% false if it's mentioned in the Bible... Right down to the existence of the Babylonians. And you see some of that attitude in some of the other reviews. And you also see the Gospel is 100% true in some of the reviews. All I'm going to say is that there is a lot of slight of hand when it comes to names in this and that is not at all how history should be conducted. Jesus with a mother named Mary and a father named Joseph... ... it kind of reminds me of my grandfather who, whenever visiting a place like Little Italy, the Ukrainian Village, yadda, yadda, yadda, culturally ethnic, would yell out one of the most common names just to see how many heads would turn. ... here it's slight of hand using the most common names to make it seem rare. So, this is 100% balderdash. However, it is entertaining conspiracy theory ala Ancient Aliens balderdash. And that is what matters, the fun conjuncture, the "What if" that is just enough to make you go "hmmmm" And that makes for an enjoyable watch. And that is the point, to be entertaining.
