Hello everyone.
I am wondering if anyone has seen any movies, read any books, seen a play, etc. that they feel depict in a fictional setting or recreation of a real setting the conflict that we see here everyday. Obviously Inherit the Wind is the big name in plays or movies for this debate.
I'm curious if there are any others out there from either perspective of creationist or evolutionist. I'd be delighted to learn of any Christian-produced movies that argue for Creationism.

Well, the thing is, she actually did go somewhere but had no evidence. I also think it's interesting that she didn't really expect anyone to believe her.
Which leads to the absolute WORST part of the movie (a movie I mostly love, for the record)... when she is being questioned by the panel the one dude asks her (PARAPHRASING BADLY HERE!) "Dr. do you expect this committe to believe you... ON FAITH?" The question is asked in such a way as to communicate bluntly to the mentally handicapped 2 year old in the audience "SEE HOW IRONIC IT IS THAT SHE IS FORCED TO MAKE AN ARGUMENT SIMILAR TO MATTHEW MCCONAUGHAY? AND THAT HER CONFLICT HAS COME TO A DRAMATICALLY LOGICAL CONCLUSION?" Thankfully the moment passes quickly and Jodie Foster saves the movie. Makes me want to shoot a president, she's so good.

If you can find where Jesus says rape and kill I'll change my outlook.
Well, Jesus is God no? He is the son and also the same as God, correct? In that case Jesus did in fact order some killings done through his other face God in the Old Testament (someone else on the board can back me up, I've seen too many threads about God ordering killing) and as is under debate elsewhere, he may have ordered the rape of virgins!
Oh my, splitting hairs can be fun. Care to open a new thread as this has nothing to do with movies/books/plays?
