A Christian girl, Rachel Whitaker (Jordan Trovillion) goes off to college for her freshman year and begins to be influenced by her popular Biology professor (Harry Anderson) who teaches that evolution is the answer to the origins of life. When Rachel’s father, Stephen Whitaker (Jay Pickett) senses something changing with his daughter, he begins to examine the situation and what he discovers catches him completely off guard. Now very concerned about Rachel drifting away from her Christian faith, he tries to do something about it!

Or maybe it's anti-Christian propaganda. The acting was fine with me, the visuals okay... but the content was ridiculous. So ridiculous, with the non-Christian side portrayed so unfairly, that I can't believe the intentions behind the film were honest. It's disgusting.If you want to learn something, watch a science documentary or a real debate. If you're looking for a feel-good movie with a near-total disregard for reality, you've found it.The atheist professor implies that eggs are "simpler life forms" than chickens and that's why they came first. He says that the 1500m trackster in his class would have won the 1896 and 1904 Olympics because people were evolving to be faster. The "good Christian boy" of the film asks the main character if she believes the world came to be through evolution. And the "debate" hasn't even started yet...

As stated in the movie, science is supposed to be based on observation; yet the beginning of the human race was never observed. So called scientific proof is based on data after the fact, which ultimately depends on interpretation. Absolute proof is humanly impossible, because there is always the possibility of an unknown factor; therefore, only someone who knows everything can absolutely prove anything. Science is the pursuit of knowledge, which implies a lack of knowledge, and something that is not completely known is based on faith. So everything we know, such as the theory of evolution or creationism, is ultimately based on belief (and evolution boils down to the belief that God either does not exist or did not do everything that He claimed). According to the Bible, every plant or animal produces after it's own kind meaning: i.e., apes produce apes, and humans produce humans, which is self evident. If I told an evolutionist, "hey, I saw an ape produce a human", they would laugh at me; yet, that is basically what they are saying whether they want to admit it or not. God had the Bible describe creation, because only He observed it, and only His account is credible. According to the Bible, Eve was the mother of all living, Eve was made from Adam's rib, Adam was made from dirt, and God made Time, Space, and Mass (these events could have never been deduced from the "rock record"). According to the Bible, the earth was created before the sun, moon, and stars, so the earth is unique and was not formed the way it is imagined retrospectively by science. According to the Bible, the earth was created with age (not a ball of fire under Adam's feet on the 6th day), the trees were fully grown (baring fruit). And according to Biblical genealogy, we are only about 150 generations from Adam, which does amount to approximately 6,000 years (6 days of creation representing 6,000 years, "a day for a 1000 years" 2 Peter 3:8).

Like God's Not Dead that came out that same year it makes college look like a bad place for Christians to go, independent thought is evil and that faith can win in a straw man argument. The only difference is that it attacks evolutionary sciences instead of atheism. What they fail to realize is 1) people need to college to get better jobs 2) Creationism is a joke 3) Critical thinking is more relevant in today's society than faith alone & 4) Those of us who actually went to college know that science (even when it has nothing to do with evolution) is part of General Ed requirements. Question: did the people involved with the making of this film actually go to college?

First of all I'd like to say to the people saying that this movie does not teach true evolution, the movie does not need to he correct with evolution because as the movie is pointing out is evolution does not exist. We are a race of people who can't even travel the entire universe but yet man tries to say they know how it was created? They say it happened because of a big bang, how do you know that a bang isn't just the process of which God achieved this feat in? This movie does what its supposed to and make unbelievers rethink their situation. The people who are so cruelly dissing this movie are clearly just unbelievers themselves.But the bigger question is this,you who believe there is no God then what is the point of your life? Are you not just waiting to cease to exist? Who cares what mark you leave on the world you cease to exist you wont even know you left a mark. If there was no God no creator that would make life pointless. People only use the excuse there is no God so they can live life whatever way they want to. Believing in God gets you to heaven, believing in science gets you to a inevitable outcome of ceasing to exist because you don't believe there is a heaven. So can you all Tell me if your not a scientist yourself why do you follow this belief? I pray that all who read this will find God through Jesus. In Jesus name amen
