I love reading stuff like this:

Creation, starring Paul Bettany, details Darwin's "struggle between faith and reason" as he wrote On The Origin of Species. It depicts him as a man who loses faith in God following the death of his beloved 10-year-old daughter, Annie.

--snip--
Movieguide.org, an influential site which reviews films from a Christian perspective, described Darwin as the father of eugenics and denounced him as "a racist, a bigot and an 1800s naturalist whose legacy is mass murder". His "half-baked theory" directly influenced Adolf Hitler and led to "atrocities, crimes against humanity, cloning and genetic engineering", the site stated.

Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm anti-Hitler also. Big, big Hitler hater over here. I don't want to get into a whole pissing contest about religion, but there's a big difference between survival of the fittest and eugenics. Just like there's a big difference between funny and Glenn Beck. One is a neutral idea; the other is a complete perversion of that idea.

You don't want to believe in evolution? Fine. Don't. This is a free country. I'm not stopping you. Certainly, though, we can all agree that a movie can be worth watching, whether you agree with it or not. And certainly it's worth buying and distributing (particularly now, since a big deal is being made of it. Money is something the Church can definitely understand), so that people who want to watch it can and make their own decision from there. This is exactly my thought process when every Michael Bay movie is been released.

If we can't agree to hate Michael Bay's crappy movies, what can we agree on?
