Maybe the best video source

Maybe the best video source for the origins of religion.  I think there needs to be a much better one though.  Maybe someone in RRS has the knowlege to undertake a new video on the subject.  Perhaps something that we could partner with our affiliates to accomplish? This was shot in the late eighties, and it shows.  IMHO Something needs to be done that has much higher quality production value, that includes some of the little things this movie left out, and fixes the errors.  I must admit though, I only noticed 2 small errors in watching it for the first time.  There may have been more, not sure.  Assuming a newer video was shot on the subject it would need to site references, in the video, and on the paper leaflet that comes in the DVD.  The only other thing that bothered me is the spearkers in the video seem to be into conspiracy theories judging by a quick google search.  It's hard for the skeptic in me to reconcile believing something that someone who believes in conspiracy theories would put out.  Luckily I was on to the whole mythical origins thing long before I saw this or Zeitgeist.  Overall, dispite the flaws, it's something I would like everyone I know to watch.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able, and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

-Epicurus
