| If you want to watch a good one, go see "God's Not Dead". It is a current film (not a biblical story), but I (mostly) liked it.
It is about a college freshman who takes on a philosophy professor to prove the existence of God. | |

Oh common!!! What do you want??? In the literal tale, no one speaks until after a dove sent to find land returns with an olive twig in its beak, indicating the flood is over and the world is saved. In the movie version, people talk. Paramount altered its advertising to say the movie was “inspired” by the Bible story and is not the Bible story.
Note the frequent use of the word “movie” in the preceding paragraphs. This is because “Noah” is?a movie. It is not a sermon or a call to prayer. It cost $130 million to make and is intended to entertain, inspire and — bear with me, I know this is crazy — make money. It does not presume to encourage religious conversion, disrespect a prophet or evangelize a snake, though it does glorify virtue in the highest.
If you want a sermon, go to church. | |

I was just making a comment about what I heard about the movie, didn't give an opinion one way or the other 
I'm well aware that movies take liberties when it comes to "storytelling" and only care about their bank accounts... | |

| Technically, the people of that time did not have the word "God", that word was added when the Bible was translated into German/English.

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | Yahweh, El, or words that meant stuff I can't remember like El Shadai. They had a jillion ways to reference God. They even had names to reference the female aspect of God. Btw, the flood story is much older and more widespread than only Noah's story as recorded in the Bible. Pretty much every ancient culture had a similar flood story. Were they all based on the same one? Who knows? I read fiction based on biblical stories all the time--some are pretty faithful to what is written, some get kind of out there, but they inevitably make me go back and read the original story to make comparisons. IMO, that's a good thing. | |

Common Sense and then some
Location: So. California | It's a movie for goodness sakes. It may be loosely based on the biblical version of Noah, but as with most movies made about factual events, they take liberties with the story to make it more universally attractive. The entire story is packed into 139 minutes of run time.
I see it as a win for Christianity. A lot of people will go and watch the movie and it may just inspire a few of them to pick up a bible and read! What can be so wrong with that?

Totally agree Komet. It's a movie. It was the directors interpretation of the story. Don't go to it if you don't want to see it. So save your money for the donation basket if that's what makes you happy | |

| Well, the first clue I knew it wasn't going to mention God, was the director himself! Darren Aronofsky has numerously described himself as an atheist. He is the one who directed The Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler and The Fighter.
Here is an article I found about it today:

Location: TN | Thanks for clarifying that Komet. I still feel the same. I love a lot of movies and I know how Hollywood really does it up for the box office. I personally don't want to see this one because the story of Noah is not one I want to see added to or taken away from. I see several more comments it's just a movie don't go if you don't want to see it....well that is what I originally stated. I don't want to see it....hope all of you who go really enjoy it......this place is still as uptight as ever I see......

God’s Not Dead: 18 Quotes
The following quotes are taken from the book, God's Not Dead: Evidence for God in an Age of Uncertainty, which was the inspiration behind the upcoming film, God’s Not Dead. Read the book and see the movie beginning March 21st!
What divides us is not science, we are both committed to science, but our worldviews. No one wants to base their life on a delusion, but which is a delusion? Christianity or atheism? —JOHN LENNOX1
When a Man stops believing in God he doesn’t then believe in nothing, he believes anything. —G. K. CHESTERTON2
Faith is not a leap in the dark; it’s the exact opposite. It’s a commitment based on evidence. . . . It is irrational to reduce all faith to blind faith and then subject it to ridicule. —JOHN LENNOX3
Reason is a tool to help us better understand and defend our faith; as Anselm put it, ours is a faith that seeks understanding. —WILLIAM LANE CRAIG4
I mean, in a way, I feel that one of the reasons for learning about Darwinian evolution is as an object lesson in how not to set up our values and social lives. —RICHARD DAWKINS5
There must be an absolute if there are to be morals, and there must be an absolute if there are to be real values. If there is no absolute beyond man’s ideas, then there is no final appeal to judge between individuals and groups whose moral judgments conflict. —FRANCIS A. SCHAEFFER6
A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics. —FRED HOYLE7
The best data we have [concerning the Big Bang] are exactly what I would have predicted had I nothing to go on but the five books of Moses, the Psalms, and the Bible as a whole. —ARNO PENZIAS, NOBEL LAUREATE IN PHYSICS 8
If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. —CHARLES DARWIN, ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES9

The illusion of design is so successful that to this day most Americans (including, significantly, many influential and rich Americans) stubbornly refuse to believe it is an illusion. —RICHARD DAWKINS, THE ILLUSION OF DESIGN 10
We now know that we are more insignificant than we ever imagined. If you get rid of everything we see, the universe is essentially the same. We constitute a 1 percent bit of pollution in a universe . . . we are completely irrelevant. —LAWRENCE KRAUSS 11
Consequently Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning. —C. S. LEWIS, MERE CHRISTIANITY 12
That a few simple men should in one generation have invented so powerful and appealing a personality, so lofty an ethic, and so inspiring a vision of human brotherhood, would be a miracle far more incredible than any recorded in the Gospels. —JOSH MCDOWELL, MORE THAN A CARPENTER 13
Jesus existed, and those vocal persons who deny it do so not because they have considered the evidence with the dispassionate eye of the historian, but because they have some other agenda that this denial serves. —BART EHRMAN , DID JESUS EXIST? 14
The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it . . . is a crime against humanity. —IMMANUEL KANT, LOOSE LEAVES FROM KANT’S ESTATE 15
I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good of the Savior of the world is communicated to us through the Book. But for it, we could not know right from wrong. —ABRAHAM LINCOLN 16
I have such a fantastic life that I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for it. . . . But I don’t have anyone to express my gratitude to. This is a void deep inside me, a void of wanting someone to thank, and I don’t see any plausible way of filling it. —BART EHRMAN , GOD’S PROBLEM 17
There is enough light for those who desire only to see and enough darkness for those of a contrary disposition. —BLAISE PASCAL 18
