Contains terrible historical mistakes

This program lacks scientific facts, and rational depth, most of the sentences contain "has been said" phrase, but never says "who said so, and the worst mistake is when one of the interviewed persons signals the fact that the first Christians who were using the fish symbol, did so because of an astrological shift into the species quadrant. Any person who has the minimal historical knowledge knows that the early Christians were persecuted, had NO astrological interests, had not symbols for astrological signs, and used the fish because in Greek the fish called "Ikhtos" constituted an acronym for the phrase "Jesus Christ Son of God". If a mistake as simple as that is committed by a supposed to be "scientist" how can we trust him for the "has been said" parts of the document.
