Well, not really. It's more like a movie debating if the Bible is literally true. And it's got Sharron Angle promoting it.
http://www.politicsdaily.com/2011/02/19/sharron-angle-not-running-from-press-or-for-president-promotes/
Film critic Roger Ebert says:
Sharron Angle accepts evolution within species, but not "the idea that we crossed kinds." But...Evolution does NOT believe we crossed kinds.
Two words to solve Sharon Angle's confusion about evolution: Common Descent. Three words: High School Science. |
Does this mean he won't give the film a good review?

| But the Rev. Jerry Zandstra, one of the executive producers and a lead actor (he plays a minister), is excited about his film. "It's not a creation vs. evolution movie," the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based pastor told me in a phone conversation. "We're taking on the origin of the universe, the big bang theory." |
Should be awesome for the lolz.

"Grand Rapids Michigan"? I don't know why, but that alone makes me worry. Aren't there a lot of xian publishers in that area? Anyway, for a movie about the bible, try an older one, this.

I love the fixation of Creationists with their "Crockoduck" notion of evolutionary biology's position. "Crossed kinds," indeed. Truly moronic Ray Comfort flim-flam type of Creos seems to behind the new movie.
The most hilarious thing about such a gross misunderstanding of science is this: If the Crockoducks et al that the Creos demand science produce actually existed, they would totally falsify and blow away evolution as a theory. |
