Just because I don't believe in god, doesn't mean I can not enjoy an ancient story brought to the big screen.The funny thing is that I would normally make a joke about having Noah pull out a couple of Uzis and go to town on the Nephilim or something snarky like that. But as I understand it, the film introduces some massive stone monsters because... YAY, MYTHOLOGY! It's as if the producers wanted you to know for sure that this isn't your father's flood myth.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
