The one points to anything said in the Bible and not confirmed independantly of the bible's 66 books as proof of its unreliability. The other uses the information within those books to find lost cities and understand the lives those people lived.

Do you even know anything about Sam Harris other than he's an atheist? Yes he's a critic of religion but his main problem with it is he wants it seperated from state because history has shown it causes nothing but grief.
Other than that he has a Ph.D, is a wonderful author and a brilliant speaker. he's also family man with high morals but unfortunately because of the religious groups made up mostly of Christians and Muslims throwing death threats at him he has to hire bodyguards to protect himself and his family.
Do yourself a favor and watch this, it's not a Christian slam vid.
