Of immediate and obvious note is the fact that Zeitgeist uses the same slanted media style they so rabidly denouce.
The bias is further compounded by an obvious premise that most in our society today are too busy or not interested enough to study out the validity of their claims. An accurate assessment as seen by how easily this movie has captured the attention of the masses. The same sort of thing happened with Dan Brown's book "The Da Vinci Code". He later became the laughing stock of academia.
If we discuss science we are always looking at the thoughts and suppositions of the scientific mind setting out to prove its hypothesis. It is merely an hyposthesis because the foundation is supposition and the scientific case is built thereupon. especially when we are dealing with matters pertaining to the things of God answered by faith.
The supposed contradiction to faith is nothing more that a series of suppositions built on human constructs. Nothing more than another sphere of faith or set of beliefs.
And these sets of beliefs are always changing. Scientific disovery is always "updating". That in my opinion takes a lot more faith.... flawed when man is reliant on man for his answers. Which man? Which answer?
Man left to himself outside of God's standards seems unable to regulate himself to the betterment of humankind as a whole... we seem to be slipping into a mire of conflict and "updates" on each successive plan. Zeitgeist is plan number... ???
Even when we turn to historical record we are subject to what others have written. Who do you believe? For you are choosing to put faith in something someone has written or said.
What we are therefore dealing with is ideas, historical record and motives in everything we see, hear or read. In being bold enough to really seek out the truth we have to ask enough of the right questions in the light of this if we are really interested in arriving at a truly satisfactory answer.
So let's ask:
What is the motive of Zeitgeist?
Do they accurately represent the majority of academic acclaim and human record?
Is this merely another flawed update?
To answer this will take time. This is the most diabolical piece of propaganda to ever surface in terms of Anti-God and Anti-Christ mis-information. I see it as anti-American too.
Who is to be the new "Saviour" of mankind? The secular humanists? And which particular set of secular humanists? Who gets to decide? Who benefits most? Can what is suggested really be achieved? Can the very heart of mankind be changed by education?
A very serious matter is that Zeitgeist's bibliographical references are merely "points of view" and not confirmation of facts. This is very important is assessing the motives and accuracy... and seems to have been overlooked. Mere conjecture presented as fact in a medium that swifly and powerfully overloads with ideas and moves on.
