Shery,

Two things I wasn't totally happy with about the movie:

One, Josh used the "big bang" idea as an argument against atheism/evolution. He might get away with it in a movie, real life is more problematical. Big Bang is more junk science just like evolution and should have been rejected on day one on purely philosophical grounds i.e. having all the mass of the universe collapsed to a point would be the mother of all black holes, and nothing would ever "bang" its way out of that. More recently, Halton Arp has destroyed the notion of an expanding universe and, with it, the entire rationale for believing in a "Big Bang".

The other thing I didn't like was claiming that free will was a total answer to the question of evil in the world. I believe that God does not directly interfere with physical reality because, were he to, the entire physical universe and the laws governing it would collapse. In other words, the first time he ever relaxed o0ne of the laws of nature for the sake of any individual person, there would never be an end to it.

I'd have preferred if Josh had spent a bit more time talking about evolution and less about the universe as a collection of hydrogen atoms. It's our living world which basically cannot be accounted for without God.

I’m on my way to see Gods Not Dead right now. Noah is playing at the same place. Planning to Grand Budapest Hotel on Wed.
