It promotes evolution.
So does reality itself.

Seriously, if your objection to pretty much all scientific discoveries of the last 250 years (spanning much further than just evolutionary biology, also covering geology, astronomy, astrophysics, palaeonthology, archaeology and many, many more) is that a collection of bronze age and iron age texts tells a different story... then nobody can help you.

In my opinion it is much more damaging to look for things that may not be there. Can't it just be a movie for pure entertainment value?

What scares me are people that look for hidden items when there are not any there.

I don't see the harm in enjoying such movies, as long as we recognize the evil messages for what they are. If you don't recognize evil messages then eventually these messages will start to sound normal to you and they will even begin to make sense. And the scary part is that you won't even remember the messages and you won't even know why it now sounds normal to you.

You have to look no further than the gay pride movement to see how with constant messaging, gradually and eventually entire societies can be made to accept a certain way of thinking.

If nothing else, it's good to realize that the religion that Nimrod started at the tower of babel is alive and well and looking to make a comeback. We need to be on our guard.

Very well said.

I always try to be cordial because until someone gives me a reason not to, I think people deserve to be treated with respect. That's not to say I don't sometimes get a little riled up in this forum, but who doesn't? ;)

Technically this is before man was saved from god. The croods are somewhat accurate in what happened when people got together. They being worshiping false gods for this was before god had showed himself. Judism had not started yet. Also I feel that people would have worshiped the sun god if this was true. I mean comeno children will understand this or worship the sun and no adult will even. This is the problem people claiming there is something demonic about even single movie that comes out. We has christian do need to guard us from being led astray but to movie has not caused anyone to worship the sun? Right? I mean this is some true to this film once fire was found people came together as villages. The bible wasn't right yet. I just want to have a nice time going to the movies, I pray to god if this movie is wrong than show me. I don't true many peoples opinions when it comes to there things.People are bias. No one is making a fuss of the wizard of oz or Wicked. The chornlines of Narina , Lord of The rings. No of them have received much fuss but movies like there seem to make people crazy.

I just came across a insteresting trailer for the new superman movie. And of course it seems like a innocent trailer for most, but try to take into consideration a possible sunworship agenda (Even though Superman gets his powers from the sun).


Superman as always got his powers from the sun this it's sunwoprship you just a bit off. There is not sun worship agenda his skin asbsrod light.

any of the early church fathers and other Biblical scholars interpreted the
creation days of Genesis 1 as long periods of time. The list of such proponents
includes the Jewish historian Josephus (1st century); Irenaeus, bishop of Lyons,
apologist, and martyr (2nd century); Origen, who rebutted heathen attacks on Christian
doctrine (3rd century); Basil (4th century); Augustine (5th century); and, later,
Aquinas (13th century), to name a few.1-5


See people thought the world was old during this time for Yom which is days can means more than just days

Once upon a time pokemon was evil. I've been a fan of the series since red version way back when. And like with pokemon and harry potter(I've seen all the movies) the paranoid conspiracy theorists will eventually realize that there's far fewer of them then the internet would have them to believe. And they will glom onto something new to attack. I actually had ppl tell me I was going to hell for liking pokemon. So I have no sympathy when these kinds of things pop up.

If you don't mind me asking did you ever pray to god for answers?

I did. My parents did. One time at a church function some one found a small pikachu(a pokemon) toy on the ground and proceded to try and pray the demons out of it. And I feel confident saying that absolutely nothing happened. What really gets me is that "christians" will harp on and hate on something like pokemon harry potter or the croods but be completely gaga over LOTR star wars or star trek. All of which have magic or demons or promote evolution. Even narnia has an evil witch but because its a "christian" series it gets a pass. Dump the double standards before you start bagging on my pokemon. Also, have you ever played pokemon? Its one of the most simplistic games I've ever played. It doesn't really require a lot of thought to play. Its just fun. Typical good guy stops bad guy from doing bad stuff. It is a childrens game after all. It actually promotes most of those good Saturday morning cartoon values like friendship and what not. So my parents felt no remorse buying me pokemon stuff as a kid. And I feel no remorse buying it for myself now.

You know what makes me sad?

That there are people whose very faith is jeopardized by scientific discoveries that are in conflict with a literalist reading of iron age mythology.
The books of the Bible were never intended to be scientific fact books, and to treat them as such cheapens them enormously, turning them from deeply spiritual wellsprings of wisdom into instruments of cultivated ignorance and barbarism.

Because it "promotes evolutionism", of course.
Which just goes to show that those people did not have the slightest idea what evolution even is. They just saw some beasties undergoing transformations and gaining new abilities when you trained them, and thought: "Hey, they don't stay the same! EVILUTION!!!!1"

Also for you guys who think superman is referencing sun worship than you must have failed biology because the human body kinda does gets stong from the sun. Our body absorbs sunlight creating a vitaum that only the sun can make. Plants get strong from the sun without they grow weak or die.
