Evilution

This movie is wrong in so many ways:

I won't even bother to debunk them all. The idea that Evolution is the one of the move 'disproved theories in the world' is completely unsubstantiated. The sentence itself is nonsensical; "One of the most disproved theories in the world that stands as the only remaining hiding place from God". Huh?

Then there is the 'rock is your daddy'? Huh? Rocks don't have DNA. Rocks are made up of minerals.

I love how the list of transitional fossils includes "Time Magazine". I didn't know we claimed Time Magazine as a fossil.

Then there is the whole 'works based' thing as opposed to saving through grace. I realize that this is a religious argument. But is the point that Christianity is the only valid religion because it's saving through grace? Huh? That's a new one on me. That being said, it's the first time I've ever heard anyone take on the question of why Christianity is the one right religion.

For a reasonable Christian approach to evolution check Francis Collins in the second part of this Fresh air show. I don't agree to him that morality only comes from religion. But I do agree with his approval of evolution in the context of his faith.
