In "The Ultimate Computer" Kirk said the ship's computer, after it had killed the crew of an entire starship, had violated "the laws of God and man."

I was thinging about this last night and reflected on the religious inferences of movie five directed by Bill Shatner.

It was a terrible film, the worst in the movie part of the franchise, but now I have an excuse to rent it on DVD to research this as I only saw it in the theatre once and my memory is rusty on it.

(My wife will love this excuse to rent a sci-fi flick. She really hates them, heh, heh.)

Yes, "the laws of God and Man" are mentioned in "The Ulitimate Computer," but didn't M-5 say those words because Dr. Daystrom had imprinted his beliefs onto it? Captain Kirk merely used the computer's own logic against it.

But you're right; it WAS a religious reference...one of the few.
