    Fantastic film!

    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.

    A movie completely free from substance - merely eye-candy for the religious community

    Starting off with a quote from Science Daily which states that a scientific method is based on "the collection of data through observation and experimentation", the entire movie fixates on the word "observable" in this quote, and a person interviews scientists and students on the street, pushing a microphone up their face, demanding immediate "on the spot" observable evidence for evolution - which they obviously fail to take out from their pockets right there and then.

    Its obvious for the rational audience that all interviews are extremely likely to have been edited in such a way as to constantly regurgitate the same belief: that there is no observable proof for the evolutionary process since we can't observe monkeys turning into humans overnight. This is off course what the religious community wants to reiterate,and it's their right to do so, however, putting the complete lack of understanding in evolution aside, its obvious the producer Ray Comfort is biased and makes little attempt to truthfully depict both sides of the argument. We see nothing but choppy segments where the person's argument is interrupted by the interviewer, or the movie cuts to a different scene - constantly prohibiting the viewers to be presented with the scientific side of the argument.

    When examples of how evolution is observable is given, the interviewer states an oversimplified version of the argument which can not be mistaken for anything else but a total lack of desire from the interviewer to comprehend what is being said.

    Furthermore, the interviewer constantly suggests that the conviction in evolution is itself a faith because he constantly asks if they BELIEVE in evolution, making no distinction between a belief in facts and a supernatural one.

    If you're on the search of evidence for evolution, then do so, but make no mistake, there is no substance to this movie what so ever.

    A shocking display of intellectual dishonesty (or incompetence)

    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.

    This movies should be called "Bananas"

    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.

    It needed to be said

    The film brings another side to the issue of our origin that needs to be addressed. Most people that believe in evolution only believe in it because their school teachers or their college professors taught them that evolution is a fact even though it's only a theory. Very few people have done their own research on evolution. People who believe evolution is true are putting their faith in their college professors and school teachers. They never consider the possibility that the school teachers and college professors could be wrong, and as a result the notion that we evolved from ape-like creatures could be a myth. Many times people who believe in evolution have never heard any other explanation for our origin, nor have they heard the theory of evolution challenged. It's good to consider all of the possibilities of our origin so that an informed decision can be made. I encourage everyone to watch this film with an open mind.
