Interesting film here on the endless debate of audience versus religion. The first half is kind of hokey with the narration and the animation kind of easy to dismiss. But then the second half relies heavily on well positioned men of science and business who believe in god to get their message across. I mean, who am I to argue with high ranking officials from NASA and the U.S. government? They do make compelling arguments, but I'm pretty sure the arguments they are giving about religion existing somewhat contradicts all the information of the first half of the film.
