Charles Darwin film 'too controversial' in America to secure a distributor.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... erica.html
Creation, starring Paul Bettany, details Darwin's "struggle between faith and reason" as he wrote On The Origin of Species. It depicts him as a man who loses faith in God following the death of his beloved 10-year-old daughter, Annie.

The film was chosen to open the Toronto Film Festival and has its British premiere on Sunday. It has been sold in almost every territory around the world, from Australia to Scandinavia.

However, US distributors have resolutely passed on a film which will prove hugely divisive in a country where, according to a Gallup poll conducted in February, only 39 per cent of Americans believe in the theory of evolution.

Movieguide.org, an influential site which reviews films from a Christian perspective, described Darwin as the father of eugenics and denounced him as "a racist, a bigot and an 1800s naturalist whose legacy is mass murder". His "half-baked theory" directly influenced Adolf Hitler and led to "atrocities, crimes against humanity, cloning and genetic engineering", the site stated.

The film has sparked fierce debate on US Christian websites, with a typical comment dismissing evolution as "a silly theory with a serious lack of evidence to support it despite over a century of trying".

I'm just speechless. I've got nothing to say.

Exactly.

It brings back horrible memories of Richard Dawkins talking to that brainless blonde woman. I'm not able to comprehend this kind of willful ignorance.

Wait a sec, the guy in the first clip seemed to suggest that carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere in the "age of the dinosaurs" as being somewhere over 4000 ppm.

I don't know much about the bible, but I thought that the bible doesn't allow for the idea of dinosaurs due to the fact that there was no evolution because everything was 'created'.

According to biblical literalists, they existed in the garden of eden, but were vegetarians. After "the fall" when Eve ate the forbidden fruit is when they started eating meat. Then Noah just didn't have room for them on the Arc.

Right, because it would be INSANE to think a boat can hold 2 of every animal. Gotta leave some off, dawg.

Oh no no no...first off, they believe its 7 of every animal, and the dinosaurs accompanied them. They just didn't do so hot afterwards.

Let's count the miracles.
  1. God appears to Noah and tells him to build a big boat
  2. God helps Noah complete said boat faster than can be done in modern times
  3. God magics 2 or 7 (depending on which part you prefer to believe is true) of each animal to the arc
  4. God shrinks all the animals so they fit on the arc
  5. God makes it rain for 40 days and 40 nights
  6. God keeps the animals from eating each other for an entire year, longer actually since they had to repopulate the entire earth
  7. God unshrinks all the animals
  8. God miracles the animals back to where they came from
  9. God miracles away the extra water, including all archaeological evidence of said flood
  10. God changes the rate of genetic mutation so that the current diversity of life is accounted for
  11. God changes the rate of genetic mutation back to the pre-flood rate just before humans figure out what DNA is
  12. God changes the physics of the universe so that the 1st rainbow appears
or...
God waves his magic death stick and kills all humans other than Noah's family. Hmmm... He sure does like elaborate plans.

Yes, it all makes PERFECT sense.

Hah, if you want more hilarity go back and read the Moses and the Pharaoh story again. I haven't read it/had it read to me since I was a youngin' and there is no better story of an impotent god.

Shit the whole damn time he's wastin' his time making frogs and locusts the Pharaoh's majick men are doing the same shit. WHY WOULDN'T YOU JUST FUCKING KILL THEM.
