QuoteA Christian girl, Rachel Whitaker (Jordan Trovillion) goes off to college for her freshman year and begins to be influenced by her popular Biology professor (Harry Anderson) who teaches that evolution is the answer to the origins of life. When Rachel’s father, Stephen Whitaker (Jay Pickett) senses something changing with his daughter, he begins to examine the situation and what he discovers catches him completely off guard. Now very concerned about Rachel drifting away from her Christian faith, he tries to do something about it!

Fucking stupid.

Just what we all need, another creationist movie.  American Christians really have a knack for propaganda movies and a tremendous appetite for them.



The professor uses some oddly creationist terminology, but otherwise he seems okay.  The student just sort of takes his word for it, which dramatically undersells the robustness of the ToE, but she's otherwise pretty amiable.  But the dad is a stark-raving lunatic.  "OMG they taught her evolution!"  Yeah, it's a college.  They teach evolution at colleges.  And basically, his hostility to science kicks of a firestorm of controversy and basically a witchhunt against the evolution professor.  This would be the bad ending in any other context, but apparently, going all monkey trial on the evolutionists is laudable in creationists' irreducibly-complex eyes.  Such a shame how in real life, this strategy has not worked at all for them the past few decades.  Can't teach creationism, can't stop schools from teaching evolution, can't even sneak in intelligent design.  How sad.

I was wondering what was going to replace the Marvel Comics Super Hero trend once people got enough of it.

Evolution, creationism and FSM should be given equal time in schools!
