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.
Ray presents the worst of the worst arguments to try and convince strangers with gas lighting techniques that a god is real. The arguments for a god are terrible and the arguments that his god is real are even worse. It really only seems he wants to convince the people on the street that evolution is a myth without "observable" evidence while trying to prove his god is real despite no observable evidence of his own. It's common misleading arguments to try and make everyone but himself look stupid. I can only imagine this was the best 30 minutes of footage he could use and there must be several hours of arguments against him he refused to include. It comes off as a smug "holier than thou" attitude that will only convince non god believers to continue to not believe.
Infamous crazy bigot Ray Comfort made this anti evolution propaganda. If you watched the trailer you can predict the film. Its Ray editing interviews to make him look better. Its pathetic. Watch a real science program instead.
A reasonable person might expect that a film entitled "Evolution vs. God" would contain some discussion of the theory of evolution. Sadly, this is not the case. Instead, Ray shares clips of his interviews with professors and students, and expects that the viewer will find them so absurd as to discredit the theory of evolution. Regardless of whether the answers are satisfactory, and ignoring the fact that Ray's questions are unreasonable and belie his own lack of understanding of the theory of evolution, this approach makes no sense and does nothing to further Ray's case.
Ray's belief seems to be that if he asks a handful of people to explain evolution, and their answers are unsatisfactory, then the theory itself is bunk. There are at least two huge problems here. Firstly, not everyone who accepts a scientific principle is a good spokesperson for it. Second, many intelligent people, including some of those in this film, have attempted to impart scientific information to Ray only to find that he is simply incorrigible. He asks people to provide evidence for claims that the theory of evolution does not make, and then blames the theory when no such evidence exists. This is a thoroughly dishonest tactic.
Ray also makes a preposterous argument about how the theory of evolution is used as a justification for moral atrocities - for instance, he claims that Hitler attempted to enact natural selection. It is moments like these that make me question, as I did before, whether Ray actually knows what the theory of evolution is, or if he simply considers it a threat to his religious convictions, and therefore opposes it through any dishonest tricks necessary.

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.
