One of the ongoing bits throughout the movie is the plight of two preachers who are just trying to get to Disneyland. Lewis, Tolkien, John Paul II to name a few.ДЈ. But if we're going to go list for list, there are plenty of great thinkers, scientists and authors who were/are theists as well.ДЄugustine, Aquinas, Mendel, Galileo, G.K. This is one of the first ways to discount that type of a presentation.Дў. Likewise, truth isn't true because many people believe that it is. Something isn't right or wrong simply because an authoritative source says it is. There are two logical fallacies here: The appeal to authorityВ and the appeal to popularity. He intimidates his young Christian student by asking him how he can take a stand on the other side against all of these great atheist geniuses. At the beginning of the film, Professor Radisson presents a list of great thinkers, scientists, philosophers and writers who were all atheists. Spoiler alert! Go see the movie first and then see if you agree with my list!ДЎ. There are seven great takeaways from the movie that I think are good to reiterate to younger viewers, and are important for us older folks to keep in mind too. The stories of other characters (a preacher, a selfish business man, a young woman caring for her mother with dementia, a successful blogger who faces a devastating diagnosis, and a Muslim convert to Christianity) are woven into the plot line until they are all connected with each other by the end of the movie. The premise of the movie involves a freshman philosophy student's challenge to defend the existence of God to his adversarial and intimidating philosophy teacher and his classmates. I hope to buy the DVD when it comes out to donate it to our parish. We enjoyed it as a family, but I would also recommend this movie for church youth groups and homeschooling groups. We went with two of my teenage children and my 8-year-old daughter and we all enjoyed the movie and have had many discussions about it since.

God's Not Dead is an uplifting and enjoyable Christian-based movie appropriate for students from elementary school through college and their parents.
