(Scene on a miniature train with a crying child)

Sarah: Kids. Do you have any?

God: Nope.

Sarah: I knew it.

God gets drunk at the reunion.

God to Sarah: "You have no idea what you're throwing away. People worship me."

Sarah to God: "Oh yeah I've got nothing but great feedback about you tonight."

After the opening Sequence > Penn calls Televangelists "evangelical a**holes." Penn says they have a crack research team on the show (Do they?). Teller walks across a shallow kiddie pool to show he's walking on water, the sandals he's wearing have blocks of wood for soles to keep his feet from getting wet. Penn says that if we want history or fact in our Bibles we are "so screwed." People on the street are interviewed about whether they believe the Bible some opinions are Pro and some are Con.

Interviewee: Dr. Paul Maier, Professor of Ancient History at Western Michigan University.

Penn denies the idea that God will bless his people if they have faith to believe his book is true. Penn calls those who believe..."Bible nuts"

Interviewee Michael Shermer of Skeptic Magazine & Skeptic Society...

"Its mythic story telling and nothing more."

"Most of the stuff in the Bible is fiction." > Based upon Archaeology, History says Shermer.

Note: Dr. Shermer received his B.A. in psychology from Pepperdine University, M.A. in experimental psychology from California State University, Fullerton, and his Ph.D. in the history of science from Claremont Graduate School. He worked as a college professor for 20 years (1979–1998), teaching psychology, evolution, and the history of science at Occidental College, California State University Los Angeles, and Glendale College.

My Comment: Notice that Dr. Shermer does not have any academic background in Ancient History/Archaeology as does Dr. Maier.

Penn Gillette criticizes the idea that Dr. Maier calls himself "Dr." though Shermer does not refer himself as "Dr."

My Comment: In Penn Gilletes eyes Shermer is more legit because of this ludicrous idea. Dr. Maier has every right to refer to himself formally as "Dr." because his academic background is History not Psychology or Evolution as is Shermers > Psychology & Evolution are NOT COVERED in this program.

Shermer and Penn Gillette criticize the Bibles first two chapters of Genesis referring to two different Creation accounts thus de-legitimizing the Bible.

My Comment: What they fail to realize is that one chapter is topical the other is chronological. Its the same creation story not two separate and non-complimentary accounts. This is so basic a toddler knows this stuff.

Maier make the point that the there may have been two authors of Genesis and Penn makes light of this idea with sarcasm.

(old Black and White footage, probably from the time of D.W. Griffith, is shown adding to the mockery of the story)

My Comment: My personal belief is that there were probably two authors but that DOES NOT deligitimize the Bible. I believe Moses wrote portions of the Torah and that Genesis was originally written by Adam or was handed down orally to one acquainted with early occurrences in human history. Read The Tablet Theory of Genesis Authorship. for more information on this subject.

Penn and Teller, originally dressed in choir/church robes, take off the robes to reveal Elvis costumes.

Penn calls Elvis "The King of Kings" > One of Jesus' biblical titles.

Penn states that in biblical times people were not literate (not true)

2 out 5 interviewed on the street believe the story of Noah's Ark.

My Comment: So much for balanced editing on this issue. They wouldn't be biased would they?

Shermer denies that Noahs Ark is a literal story. He believes its about redemption, starting over etc; > similar to Rabbi David Wolpe in Bible Documentaries on A&E, The Biography Channel and the History Channel. Shermer denies the story of Noah's Ark (species aboard, migration etc;)

(old Black and White footage, probably from the time of D.W. Griffith, is shown adding to the mockery of the storyof Noah)

My Comment: Shermer doesnt realize that not "all" animals needs to be aboard (aquatics?) nor did they need to be full grown. Only the basic forms of dog, cat etc; needed to be onboard and once they pro-created those basic animal types developed into wolves, coyotes (dogs), leopards, lions (cats) developed from the basic animal types. This is a Duh!

Land masses were such at that time that animals were able to venture great distances to reach far locations. Link 1, Link 2.

Penn talk about a flood that occurred on the Euphrates that may be the flood of Noah. Penn Identifies the flood as the Sumerian Deluge Myth concerning Ziusudra dated to about 2900 B.C.E.

My Comment: Penn fails to tell his TV viewers that over 200 lines of text are missing from the Sumerian Deluge Myth artifact, Polytheism (many gods are in this story) only one true God is in the Bible, Penn states that it rained 6 days. Nope! it rained 7 days (line 203 of the artifact) - so much for research , There is a window in the boat of Ziusudra there was no "window" in the biblical Ark but a hole to release birds. This is not Noah's Flood. So much for Penn's crack team of researchers or was it researchers on crack?

Penn calls the Bible "Bull**it Myths"

Penn refers to a real scientist in this portion of the DVD. Who is this real scientist? He's never revealed. If he was a real scientist my objections to Ziusudra would be answered. Okay "real scientist" whoever you are reveal yourself to me...you're on the clock..as I wait the Jeopardy theme will be playing...reveal yourself....i'm waiting.......

(old Black and White footage, probably from the time of D.W. Griffith, is shown adding to the mockery of the story of the Exodus)

1 out 5 interviewees on the street denied the Exodus (Do you see a progression here?)

Penn believes there were no Hebrews in Captivity in Egypt

My Comment: If this is true why would Amenhotep II around 1446 BCE go into Palestine and drag 100,000 Semites (Hebrew cousins) back into Egypt? It's simple. Because he lost his economy courtesy of Moses and the Exodus. Egyptologist Dr. Aling attests to this fact. Why Semites? They were Pharaohs previous economy.

Penn: "Now why didn't God just appear to Pharoah and say it (let my people go) himself? Because God works in mysterious, inefficient and breath-takingly cruel ways."

My Comment: Penn Mocks the 10 Plagues of Egypt, doesn't realize that the plagues are lifted before the next occurs so he makes stupid, uninformed comments but he thinks he's cute, he then equates God with Dr. Kevorkian...

Penn: "First born Egyptian Jiled dies"... What's a Jiled? > Fine work editors you could've looped (overdubbed) this part.

(old Black and White footage, probably from the time of D.W. Griffith, is shown adding to the mockery of the story of the Exodus)

Shermer states there is no archaeological evidence for the Hebrews wandering in the desert.

My Comment: How does he know? Dr. Shermer does not have any academic background in Ancient History/Archaeology.

Maier makes a good point in that Egyptians never recorded failures. (It's interesting to note that Maiers comments are followed by Shermers rebuttal, Why? Because Shermer is basically responding to Maiers previous interview. I sense premeditation here by Penn and Teller in order to embarrass Maiers position). Penn and Teller...WHAT SLIMEBALLS!

Ever heard of a panel discussion P&T?

Shermer: "These guys want to play in the realm of science. They want to claim we have evidence for our beliefs. Okay. What is it?"

My Comment: Oh how reasonable Shermer sounds. This is a joke. Shermer is not interested in evidence he's interested in more questions. It's a game called "Stump the Christian." Nothing gets accomplished because he's not open to anything but his skepticism.

If Shermer has something better than Christianity then present it. IT BETTER BE GOOD MIKEY.

Penn: "I'm still pissed about God killing every firstborn child in Egypt. Couldn't he have just smacked the Pharaoh?

My Comment: If Penn would read the account the Hebrew firstborn were saved. Remember the blood on the door? Read the story pal. God did smack Pharoah! Nine times! Read the story pal. After awhile wouldnt you feel like Pharaoh was not taking you seriously?

Penn: "Says he (Jesus) can cure the sick but he only cured the ones he happens to bump into...Jesus Christ!"

My Comment: Read the story pal. Penn conveniently forgot about the Officials servant (John 4: 43-54) who Jesus NEVER SAW yet the servant was healed! Penn. You're a moron. Think before you speak! Read the story pal.
