Lame Propaganda
NickGagnon94229 December 2021
Genesis Impact anti evolution pro creationist film that says that people should decide for themselves. Odd since this is a creationist film. Obviously, this film wants you to side with them. Its about a young girl sitting in on a lecture in a museum. She challenges the speaker. They debate and you can guess who going to win the debate. How about instead one really does look into facts and not horrible propaganda like this. It wants you to think "for yourself" while pointing you one way. And besides this video starts with a Ray Comfort video. Why put a video from that evil man?

Trust Man or Trust God

This film truly shows the lengths that "science" will go to so that you believe their ludicrous theory!

There is ZERO proof for ape to human evolution, the "proofs"are created in the human mind and then digitally created to give the impression of factual content!

They just don't have the bones, they have fragments in which they have imagined the evidence... If this theory was true then there would be tens of millions of skeletons all over the world, do you really believe dinosaur bones can be found at 65 million years old but ape / human bones disappeared in 6 million years? It's just not possible!!

Therefore you need to ask yourself this question.....?

If evolution is unproven then you are only left with one option... That is that the created has a creator!

If I told you the house you were in was an explosion in a brick factory you would call me nuts, therefore how can the most complex life forms and eco systems be made from an explosion??? In my experience explosions destroy, they never create!

What sin do love that makes you fear God?

God is real, Jesus is real, Judgement day is real!

You like me and everyone else have sinned against God, we've all lied, stolen, cheated, blasphemed and fornicated, we are all therefore guilt in the eyes of God, The wages for sin are death and an eternity in hell!

Jesus paid those wages for us by willingly dying on the cross, the righteous for the in un-righteous!

He was buried, then on the third day God raised him from the grave to sit at his right hand, ready to judge the world of their sin!

You must repent and turn from your ways, you must accept Jesus as your lord and saviour and in return yiu will be saved from eternal damnation!

Please I beg and encourage you to buy a bible and read it!

You wouldn't judge a Harry Potter book without first reading it so why would you judge Gods word without reading that? After all as a "free thinker" shouldn't you research both sides of the argument? Isn't that true science?

My prayer is that you open your heart to the possibilities of the unseen and accept that you are a perfectly created being with a real purpose that only God can decide for you!

Gif bless you.

not worth watching
eyetom2 August 2022
I am not for evolution but clearly this movie is funded by some Christian organization, gets annoying when all the girl does is integrate a professor who never has anything to say to back up his teachings, this movie is a joke with a one sided agenda...acting is horrible.

Very good film and very good story line!

Warning: Spoilers
Really love me this movie. The story line really good and really enjoyed it. God gave everyone free will to choose. Highly recommend watching! It puts up the truth and reality of how life on earth began. It is a really good debate going on in this film. The debate give great evidence. Actors in this film do a really great job in their parts. Both sides put up arguments for their position. And I know people feel strongly on both sides of this debate. Choose your position after watching this film and you might just be surprised with what you decide. I know you will like the debate that goes on in this film.

Insults your intellect and bores you to death
jensbob25 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Proponents of "intelligent design", or more specifically creationists are having an increasingly worse time, with science being incremental our understanding of the world around us is ever increasing and the more we learn, the smaller are the gaps in which they can claim their god exists. Because make no mistake, creationists argue purely out of a god of the gaps perspective, that is, since there obviously are no positive evidence for their position they have to rely on the cases where science has yet to full explain a phenomenon and claim this lack of knowledge is proof of divine activity. At a time in history where mankind lacked understanding of most natural processes this was a rewarding strategy since people dislike not knowing how things work and happily accepted the suggestion of god. Nowadays, with these "gaps" being very rare, people are less inclined to ask for magical answers.

This has forced creationists to reinforce their arguments with deception, deflection and outright lies, and all of these are on full display in this movie.

The concept of the movie is that a young female student is visiting a museum of natural science for some reason, and there she encounters the "docent" and engages in a discussion with him in front of a live audience. The discussion revolves mostly around the recent evolutionary steps on the path of mankinds evolution. The problems arise early on:

First of all, the "Docent" plays his role very poorly in a way that makes it obvious that he really isn't trying to argue the case of natural sciences in general or evolution specifically. When he explains things he does so in ways that are clearly designed to fit into the creationist's narrative with just a few pointers, conveniently provided by the student.

Meanwhile the student provides all of the favorit creationist talking points in a performance that's more than anything comical. It's all very tedious, even though it's obvious that the filmmakers are trying to make it dramatic.

The main issue is of course that all of the talking points (I refuse to call them arguments) are disingenuous and dishonest. Some examples that spring to mind:

* Listing a large number of examples of what would be described as transitional species she points out that there are no fossils found from transitional species in between those listed.

* Trying to claim that the fossil bones of a hominid found among tools and the bones of prey animals are actually not an example of a hominid, but rather bones of monkeys that were killed and eaten by modern humans living at the site. The problem is of course that the modern human settlement found at the site is from the early iron age, while the hominid fossils were tens of thousands of years old.

* In another case she claims something similar since there was a homo sapiens site found nearby the hominid fossils which would make it difficult to determine which bones belonged to which species. In reality the two sites are an 8 hour drive apart.

* Claiming radiometric dating is inaccurate because of the fact that there exists cases where the results were off, or where mixed minerals would make it difficult to differentiate between newly formed rock from a volcanic eruption and older rock, all while ignoring the countless examples of radiometric dating working perfectly in controlled settings.

Another favorite of these people is to dig out extremely outdated scientific texts and then disprove that. Or to use early 20th century newspaper illustrations as an example of what science at that point claimed.

I could fill pages after pages with this, but the point is, the movie is dishonest propaganda that wants you to believe in outrageously silly and implausible things and to do so it lies, deflects, avoids inconvenient facts and so on. No one with a slight bit of analytical capacity should fall for this, in fact you should be upset that they believe you would. The movie is filled with the best arguments the creationists has at this point and still a person of average education and faculties would be able to disprove every single one of them in less than an hour of research.

Had it only been about personal faith I wouldn't have an issue with this and similar movies; sure, they're horrible as movies, but at least it doesn't impact someone innocent. The issue is however that the creationists are trying to get school districts to remove or limit the teaching of actual science such as evolutionary biology and to instead preach their lies. To teach children things that are so removed from reality is nothing but evil and needs to be stopped by any means, which includes trying to get people who may be in danger of falling for such rhetoric not to watch this.

Propaganda and actively harming to your intelligence.
jowi-8924012 June 2023
The docent who is supposed to play the pro-evolution side, is comically inept at his job. They crop out photos like the "picnic table" to not include the dozens of skulls and other bones found to deceptively make the case for evolution look weaker. They quote mine and deceptively quote experts, and they actively emotionally manipulate the audience by using their church audience to make people think these arguments are convincing. If you actually care about learning anything, instead of actively making yourself ignorant, avoid this "film" at all costs. This is a great example of how these people need to use manipulated clips and quotes to support their ancient mindset. Evolution happened, we are apes, there is plenty of evidence and we find more every day.
