Simply Perfect

Pretty Good

It is a performances centric movie

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I have waited nearly 30 years for the pine trees in my yard to evolve into peach trees...still waiting. Evolutionist never show stages similar to the monkey to man of a cell to a rhinoceros or a cell to a giraffe or a peacock or a whale or spiders or fleas or snakes. And, every evolutionist is a pure racist because their chart of the stages of monkey to man undoubtedly leads to black people being closer to monkeys while white people are allegedly moving to a higher stage. But, those who hold to intelligent design do not accept the corrupt logic of the racist evolutionists. And, micro-biology, not available to Darwin, blows their theory away, as noted in the utterly fantastic book, Darwin's Black Box, by Michael Behe. The one-star ratings are raving rants and not objective observations.

Aside from flagrantly editing the interviews, Ray Comfort repeatedly demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge about both evolution and science in general. He uses the word 'kind' in reference to anything from species to domain, with six different definitions given. The one student he interviewed that was studying biology answered his questions very well, and was not heard from after the first ten minutes. The interviews with the scientists were cut into three second clips and involved Ray interrupting anyone when they went to give him an answer he wouldn't like. Altogether, those four interviews comprised just over four minutes of the 'documentary'.Examining the other people interviewed, the short clips of some people can be put together and clearly show one puzzled answer cut into four or five pieces and used in response to multiple questions.This 'documentary' is not just brain dead, but dishonest too.

A reasonable person might expect that a film entitled "Evolution vs. God" would contain some discussion of the theory of evolution. Sadly, this is not the case. Instead, Ray shares clips of his interviews with professors and students, and expects that the viewer will find them so absurd as to discredit the theory of evolution. Regardless of whether the answers are satisfactory, and ignoring the fact that Ray's questions are unreasonable and belie his own lack of understanding of the theory of evolution, this approach makes no sense and does nothing to further Ray's case.Ray's belief seems to be that if he asks a handful of people to explain evolution, and their answers are unsatisfactory, then the theory itself is bunk. There are at least two huge problems here. Firstly, not everyone who accepts a scientific principle is a good spokesperson for it. Second, many intelligent people, including some of those in this film, have attempted to impart scientific information to Ray only to find that he is simply incorrigible. He asks people to provide evidence for claims that the theory of evolution does not make, and then blames the theory when no such evidence exists. This is a thoroughly dishonest tactic.Ray also makes a preposterous argument about how the theory of evolution is used as a justification for moral atrocities - for instance, he claims that Hitler attempted to enact natural selection. It is moments like these that make me question, as I did before, whether Ray actually knows what the theory of evolution is, or if he simply considers it a threat to his religious convictions, and therefore opposes it through any dishonest tricks necessary.

Starting off with a quote from Science Daily which states that a scientific method is based on "the collection of data through observation and experimentation", the entire movie fixates on the word "observable" in this quote, and a person interviews scientists and students on the street, pushing a microphone up their face, demanding immediate "on the spot" observable evidence for evolution - which they obviously fail to take out from their pockets right there and then.Its obvious for the rational audience that all interviews are extremely likely to have been edited in such a way as to constantly regurgitate the same belief: that there is no observable proof for the evolutionary process since we can't observe monkeys turning into humans overnight. This is off course what the religious community wants to reiterate,and it's their right to do so, however, putting the complete lack of understanding in evolution aside, its obvious the producer Ray Comfort is biased and makes little attempt to truthfully depict both sides of the argument. We see nothing but choppy segments where the person's argument is interrupted by the interviewer, or the movie cuts to a different scene - constantly prohibiting the viewers to be presented with the scientific side of the argument. When examples of how evolution is observable is given, the interviewer states an oversimplified version of the argument which can not be mistaken for anything else but a total lack of desire from the interviewer to comprehend what is being said. Furthermore, the interviewer constantly suggests that the conviction in evolution is itself a faith because he constantly asks if they BELIEVE in evolution, making no distinction between a belief in facts and a supernatural one.If you're on the search of evidence for evolution, then do so, but make no mistake, there is no substance to this movie what so ever.
