Una questione di fede

A poor production pandering to narrow minded views on Creation. A disservice to Christianity itself.

This movie not only had horrible acting but ultimately was created as propaganda for the creationists it badly represents science and does not accurately portray the issue. Believing in young earth creationism is basically a denial of all of science evolution has the DNA evidence and the fossil record and more evidence. Basic geology and radiometric dating show the earth is indeed 4.5 billions of years old. The science side in this movie was portrayed as if science doesn't have any evidence so ultimately making this film creationist propaganda. I watched this expecting the same old regurgitation of the same refuted creationism arguments but they didn't even do that they just made science look like it is a bunch of guess work.what is sad is there are people out there that deny the massive amounts of scientific evidence supporting evolution, the age of the earth, the big bang etc... Overall a sad pathetic movie that ultimately was created to get people to believe in pseudoscience.

I watched this movie out of pure morbid curiosity, as I watched it I began to question whether this was a Christian film or not... I mean it has to be because the disgusting lack of understanding of evolution, but then again, it portrays Christians as diabolical, manipulative, and ignorant as all get out... It starts out with a girl going to a biology class (why would a evolution denier study biology?), the professor seems warm and charming and respectable. Of course the portrayal of his understanding of evolution is off, but then again it was written by people who deny evolution. The plot then twists and turns for a good long while, with the girl being a typical college student more or less with weird shenanigans and chasing boys. It is peppered with really creepy scenes of the girls parents, and predatory boys just looking to, pardon the expression, "get their dick wet". It starts to get to some substance when the father of the girl looks up the nice professors name and finds him to be an evolutionist, oh the horror. The father decides he should talk to this Kaman guy and give him the once over for teaching his daughter, a BIOLOGY major, evolution. When he approaches the professor he chastises him for leading his daughter astray and questions the professors beliefs. The professor is very nice about it saying that if the bible helps the father then that is all that matters, the professor says that evolution helps in and that is all that matters. The father won't accept this and continues to berate the professor. When the professor comes up with what I think is a fair proposal to have a debate on the subject the Christian father freaks out and backs down. Big surprise. Then it gets weirder, and even more aggressive, with a student journalist creeping on the poor girl who just needs some space to find herself. He becomes aggressive in his pushing Christianity on her, and his bad mouthing of the nice professor. They try to paint the professor in a weird light trying to make him look evil, but actually portrays him as a reasonable and good person.

In the end if you want the run around of this whole movie it could be summed up in one interaction between a random student and the Christian journalist. The random student and the girl are discussing how people came from "apes", which again betrays the authors poor understanding of evolution. The creepy Christian journalist boy, again creepin on the girl stalking her, pushes his way into the conversation and then gives his incredible reasoning as to why we did not come from apes and I quote. Christian Journalist: "Does your mom look like an ape?" Random Student: "What?" CJ, aggressively I might add, "I'll take that as a no, does your grandma look like an ape?" This continues in a really mean way. I mean seriously, are you trying to make christians look like a bunch of ignorant bullies? If this is how you want your religion to be portrayed, that's fine, I guess... but man,I wouldn't want this movie associated with my religion and defending my beliefs.

In the end this movie feels more like a pro-evolution/anti-Christianity (especially with the speech made by the professor at the end) which is why i couldn't give it only 1 star. I mean really, it does a pretty good job of painting a disgusting picture of Christianity, their ignorance and their intolerance.

A Matter of Faith is a frustrating propaganda piece...and thats mostly what it is. Aside from being an awful film its just Creationist propaganda. The odd thing is is that the Creationists in the film seem more like the villains of the film. The film is about a young girl named Rachel who goes to collage and takes a Biology class in which the professor (Kaman) played by Harry Anderson. He teaches evolution like in a Biology class. Rachel's father gets upset because Evolution is taught and confronts Kaman. Kaman is far more likable in this discussion and film. However Rachael's father wants a creation alternative taught. He wants to interrupt the school system to support his beliefs. He wanted for his daughter to go to a Christian school but she did not. Fine. Shes an adult. She can go to what school she wants. So the message of the film is to not think for yourself or is it that certain parts of science is bad?

The film leads into a straw man debate in which the creations actually cheat and destroy the debate by switching debaters in the middle of the debate. How were these supposed to be the good guys? This is a film about a girl who goes out to the world and getting an education but the film thinks that is a bad thing. A Matter of Faith is an awful film in every way. Its a terrible propaganda film of the worst kind.

Nothing but wishful thinking, pseudo-scientific claims. The person who wrote this clearly does not understand the theory of evolution, and then proceeds to straw man currently accepted scientific models.

Anyone whose taken a 6th grade biology course can quickly see through the propaganda and lies this film portrays.

The only reason you should watch this is for amusement of how illiterate society can be, other than that don't waste your time on this.

To summarize, the people who wrote this are the same ones who believe the Earth to be 6,000 years, so watch at your own risk.
