I would think that if you were trying to prove or disprove Bible stories, you would at least read them first. Every episode that I watched had something in it that was either completely against the Biblical account or, at the very least, pulled from the clear blue sky. For example, according to the movie David was just a diversion to get the army into position to attack while in the Bible David and Goliath were literally fighting as the champions of their armies and the Hebrew army didn't move until David had decapitated Goliath. The Bible seems to indicate that the statue of Daniel 3 was a direct result of the dream in Daniel 2. That is to say that Nebuchadnezzar did not like the prophecy that his kingdom would fail which was indicated by a statue of mixed metals wherein the head of gold represented Babylon. So he made a statue of solid gold to show he expected his empire to last to the end of time. In the video the statue was of some ancient Babylonian god no one had worshiped for at least a generation.

This movie also seems to miss the idea that a miracle is, by definition, something without scientific explanation. Giving scientific reasons for the Biblical miracles doesn't endorse the Bible, but cheapens God's power over all of his creation.
