Evolution vs. God (2013)

You won't be disappointed!

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

What an Awesome film! Ray Comfort interviews several Atheists, requesting that they provide evidence of Evolution. Reasonable Questions Are asked, the opportunity to answer is given generously. If it's fact, It's fact (black & white - no gray areas). These people should not need time to research answers. Ray was approaching people who study/are knowledgeable (or think they are), on the subject of evolution - not random Joes. It would be great to see Evolutionists, approach Ray and demand that he share evidence that God is real and creator of this world and everything on it... I truly believe Ray would nail it! Put your hand up if you would be willing to step up & challenge Ray Comfort in a Evolution vs God discussion, in front of the world. He wouldn't hesitate because his faith & his facts real and unwavering.

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.

Ray Comfort (aka The banana man) is back with yet another disappointedly impotent 'critique' of Darwinian evolution. Apart from the numerous occasions of quote mining and selective editing of interviews throughout the film he has repeated his banana fiasco with both a lack of understanding of both science and evidence.Firstly, the film makes a false dichotomy between 'God' and Evolution. The theory of evolution, like all scientific explanations is methodologically neutral and naturalistic; to make it a conflict between God and science is deceptive and unwise.Throughout the film, Comfort interviews a series of professors and college majors and frequently asks if any of them can present 'testable', 'observable' evidence of change from one 'kind' to 'another'. They give examples of speciation but demands they show a change of 'kind'. He doesn't even define 'kind. Creationists have been unable to specify what the created kinds are. If kinds were distinct, it should be easy to distinguish between them. Instead, we find a nested hierarchy of similarities, with kinds within kinds within kinds. For example, the twelve-spotted ladybug could be placed in the twelve- spotted ladybug kind, the ladybug kind, the beetle kind, the insect kind, or any of dozens of other kinds of kind, depending on how inclusive the kind is. No matter where one sets the cutoff for how inclusive a kind is, there will be many groups just bordering on that cutoff. This pattern exactly matches the pattern expected of evolution. It does not match what creationism predicts. Comfort lacks any elementary knowledge of biology. He asks for changes overnight that modern biologists observe after millions of years. He is easily refuted by transitional fossils such as Tiktaalik (which shows primitive fish becoming amphibians) as well as Archaeopteryx (transition between dinosaurs and birds), which show a change from 'one kind to another'. In fact paleontologists argue whether some intermediates are for instance, reptile-like mammals or mammal-like reptiles; this means there is a multitude of intermediates dicovered.He ignorantly dismisses Darwin's finches as 'birds remaining birds' and the Lenski experiment as 'bacteria still becoming bacteria'; using the same ignorant excuse of 'created kinds'. Although major changes from one 'kind' to another do not normally happen, except gradually over hundreds of thousands of generations, a sudden origin of a new kind has been observed. A strain of cancerous human cells (called HeLa cells) have evolved to become a wild unicellular life form (Van Valen and Maiorana 1991). The film also says that evolutionists claim the appendix is useless because they call it 'vestigial'. This is ludicrous. "Vestigial" does not mean an organ is useless. A vestige is a "trace or visible sign left by something lost or vanished". Vestigial organs are evidence for evolution because we expect evolutionary changes to be imperfect as creatures evolve to adopt new niches. Creationism cannot explain vestigial organs. They are evidence against creationism if the creator follows a basic design principle that form follows function.The appendix appears as part of the tissues of the digestive system; it is homologous to the end of the mammalian caecum. Since it does not function as part of the digestive system, it is a vestigial part of that system, no matter what other functions it may have. The film equates an acceptance of evolution with immorality and purposely edits and selectively quotes the interviewees. However, it is a great introduction to the terrible arguments that creationists push to achieve their agenda.

Bunch of nonsense. An utter waste of your time. It is a load of God's lap dog nonsense. Very much unlike the famed The Banana is Evidence for the existence of God, this month movie is an extended load of... well...Let me just call it nonsense. Unless Comfort does not come out saying that this is work of pure fiction and has no connection with the real world, I am compelled to call it a bunch of misleading lies. Downright a dangerous influence on the minds of kids if you happen to be one that will take the chance of showing your child this movie. Wait a minute did I just call this badly piled clips of shoots a Movie. Beg pardon.
