Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Evolution vs. God: Shaking the Foundations of Faith" is an 38-minute documentary film from 2013, so this short movie will have its 5th anniversary next year. It is written by, directed by and starring the voice of Ray Comfort and in here, he interviews several people about why they believe in evolution and do not believe in God. This involves students as well as professors. The questions he asks are spot-on and you can see how he makes a difference in some of his interviewees' minds. I also want to give a thumbs-up for the people showing up in here because they have never used verbal abuse or anything and honestly that is a common reaction when you talk to people about why they don't believe in God. And it is usually these who cannot even name a single geological era. Anyway back to this film here, I believe that one of the best points Comfort makes in here is that you need to ask questions and look for solutions. Sure you can just blindly accept what your biology book tells you, a book that was perhaps written and illustrated by people who blindly believed what other people told them. But with that approach we'd still see the Earth as a disk. Is that the right word? Anyway, you get the point. I don't think it is accurate to call the Bible a work of fiction if you have never read a single page of it. You need to get an insight into the subject before making a statement because otherwise you are not different than fake news spread by propagandist media without checking their sources for credibility. This was the second film I've seen by Mr. Comfort and I would call it superior to his film about the holocaust of unborn babies, even if that one was pretty interesting as well. I also like his interview documentary style, even if that is a subjective statement and I can see why many don't. Obviously this film here is extremely underrated on IMDb and I wonder how many of those who rated it 1/10 actually. Probably not even half. And most of the other half stopped watching before the end. And that is why they will never get it. Blinly accepting what overall consensus sells you as correct, the thought of those who are too limited inside their minds to see how limited they actually are. I give this one a major thumbs-down. One of the best documentaries from 2013 and I highly recommend it.

floyd beck 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.

irvinetustin The film brings another side to the issue of our origin that needs to be addressed. Most people that believe in evolution only believe in it because their school teachers or their college professors taught them that evolution is a fact even though it's only a theory. Very few people have done their own research on evolution. People who believe evolution is true are putting their faith in their college professors and school teachers. They never consider the possibility that the school teachers and college professors could be wrong, and as a result the notion that we evolved from ape-like creatures could be a myth. Many times people who believe in evolution have never heard any other explanation for our origin, nor have they heard the theory of evolution challenged. It's good to consider all of the possibilities of our origin so that an informed decision can be made. I encourage everyone to watch this film with an open mind.

mrmaxj 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.
