Robert F. Smith Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 "Genesis: Paradise Lost," in 3D, Nov 13, 2017, tickets available at genesismovie.com . preview available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP6mt20jWIg . Evangelical recent creationists are now coming forth with a movie on the Genesis creation, something the Mormons have been doing in their temples for decades. It'll be interesting to see whether they get it right. Link to comment
RevTestament Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Of course they won't Robert. The movie is going to answer "the truth of who they are" and "why they are here?" They don't have these truths. They believe falsehoods and distortions like original sin and creation ex nihilo. That is why they have lost a majority of the population of Europe. Because their "truth" does not speak truth to the soul. However, I will probably eventually watch this movie, just so I can hopefully counteract the damage it may do. D&C 101: 32 Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things— 33 Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof— 34 Things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven.

bluebell Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I don't think there is any chance that their movie will be like the LDS temple movies, because they believe that the Fall was never God's will and that Eve ruined everything, right? Link to comment
Popular Post The Nehor Posted October 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2017 I find it humorous in that preview that these poor people imagine that Darwin's evolutionary theory is the one obstacle/"lie" keeping people out of churches. Such sweet naïveté. 5 Link to comment
california boy Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It will be interesting to see if they can present a story that will explain all of the physical evidence that points to Adam and Eve not being the first humans on the earth. If their goal is to prove Darwin wrong, it will certainly be interesting movie to watch. Pass me the popcorn. Link to comment

It was fun to hear the movie makers talk about this as one of the best ways to spread the "gospel", I typically think of the gospel as the message grace and love and salvation, but I guess evangelicals conflate terms just like Mormons do. Gospel = our tribe's version of religion. 1 Link to comment

cdowis Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 The LDS view of the creation would show that the Creator used evolution as one of many "tools" or natural laws in the creation process. It is not an "either or" proposition. Link to comment

Such sweet naïveté. What would you suggest are the big obstacles keeping people out of churches. I absolutely think Darwinism is a huge obstacle/lie that has reached the status of religion.

How come they are in human genes? https://evolutionnews.org/2012/02/has_darwinism_p/ Darwinism theory is on the ropes, the mechanism is woefully inadequate to explain the massive diversity we see today. Natural selection does not create new genetic information and genetic mutation only flips zeros to ones and ones to zeroes, it simply cannot create new chunks of code which is necessary for creating new organisms.

Not sure how they come to the conclusion that Darwinism theory and Genesis agree with one another or are compatible. Now if you throw out no death before the fall, no global flood, and monkey with the definition of the word "day", there is a way to do the mental gymnastics required to believe in both. There are tons of biologists who don't believe in evolution. Evolution news.org....the writers support "intelligent design" over Darwinism. 1 Link to comment
