Zeitgeist Refuted 1 hr 30 min 42 sec - Dec 19, 2007 www.beitshalomministries.org Even secular scholars have rejected the idea of Christianity borrowing from the ancient mysteries. The well-respected Sir Edward ... all » Evans-Pritchard writes in Theories of Primitive Religion that "The evidence for this theory… is negligible." “The first real parallel of a dying and rising god does not appear until A.D. 150, more than a hundred years after the origin of Christianity. So if there was any influence of one on the other, it was the influence of the historical event of the New Testament [resurrection] on mythology, not the reverse. The only known account of a god surviving death that predates Christianity is the Egyptian cult god Osiris. In this myth, Osiris is cut into fourteen pieces, scattered around Egypt, then reassembled and brought back to life by the goddess Isis. However, Osiris does not actually come back to physical life but becomes a member of a shadowy underworld...This is far different than Jesus’ resurrection account where he was the gloriously risen Prince of life who was seen by others on earth before his ascension into heaven." --Dr. Norman Geisler "Not one clear case of any alleged resurrection teaching appears in any pagan text before the late second century A.D., almost one hundred years after the New Testament was written." --Dr. Gary Habermas This film refutes the following claims made in the film Zeitgeist: -Christianity was borrowed from pagan myths? -The Bible was plagiarized? -Jesus wasn't a historical figure? -Christianity was created for social control? -The Bible is based on astrology? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7572663630528394775 |

Some sound points, some intentionally misleading points, and a lot of attempts to debunk via the character assassination of the author, rather than the criticism of their claims. |

wasn't too impressed with the movie. It just tails off on points and just makes it seem like it's a matter of fact. I would like to see Michael Tsarion rip that movie to shreds. |
