Watch A Matter of Faith For Free

Just perfect...

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Movie Plot: After she is taught the theory of evolution in her biology class at university, a young Christian woman begins to drift away from her faith.Review: As a strong in faith Christian i really enjoyed this movie. It is realistic and focuses on the evolution vs creationism debate. The acting is decent and the film tackles the realism of being weak in faith, bitterness, lack of knowledge and faith. "A Matter of Faith" is a movie that hardcore Christians, evolutionists and hardcore atheists will enjoy.

Or maybe it's anti-Christian propaganda. The acting was fine with me, the visuals okay... but the content was ridiculous. So ridiculous, with the non-Christian side portrayed so unfairly, that I can't believe the intentions behind the film were honest. It's disgusting.If you want to learn something, watch a science documentary or a real debate. If you're looking for a feel-good movie with a near-total disregard for reality, you've found it.The atheist professor implies that eggs are "simpler life forms" than chickens and that's why they came first. He says that the 1500m trackster in his class would have won the 1896 and 1904 Olympics because people were evolving to be faster. The "good Christian boy" of the film asks the main character if she believes the world came to be through evolution. And the "debate" hasn't even started yet...

More often than not, religious films are suitable for a good laugh. "God's Not Dead" and "God's Club," for instance, were laughably bad in an enjoyable way for me. I've seen my fair share of Christian propaganda films, yet for SOME reason, "A Matter of Faith" became my most hated.The film follows the typical tropes you'd expect. Awkward dialogue, little to no knowledge of basic scientific fact, and forced running gags that lead nowhere and only serve to waste your time. It was good for a few laughs, but it all went downhill after the first half, and made me furious. The amount of misinformation and downright falsehoods this film spews about evolution is completely uncalled for, and falls apart under the slightest scrutiny.The main plot point is that the father, the creationist, wants to debate the professor, scientist, on evolution vs. creationism. The father dislikes that Rachel is learning about evolution and assumes that it teaches the origins of life.However, evolution does NOT teach the origins of life. Anyone with basic understanding of evolution will tell you that. The main idea is that living organisms evolve and adapt over millions of years through natural selection and other processes. Also, universities don't teach biblical creationism as fact because it's... well, not scientific. And, again, it has nothing to do with evolution.Thus, the main premise of the entire movie is completely pointless from the get-go.Rachel is a pitiful main character, and I honestly felt sorry for her. Actually, the movie is more about her father. She's just trying to go to class and learn biology, yet she's dragged around by her professor, dad, and a creepy guy named Evan into believing one thing or the other. In fact, she was mostly neutral and just wants to be left alone throughout the film. Instead, in the end, she (of course) reaffirms her faith and denounces evolution simply because *insert reason here*. By the end, Rachel completely changes her character and decides, "hey, I'm still a Christian and wanna date that creepy guy now."The professor is a bit condescending and seemed overly desperate to debate. The father was completely inconsiderate to his daughter's feelings on the matter. She pleaded him to stop several times, and he refused. Evan, the "good Christian boy," was just downright creepy. He was condescending to Rachel, and was unnaturally determined to help the father win the debate.And do I even need to speak about the ending? Words can't describe how cringe-inducing it was. Scientific falsehood after scientific falsehood, improper and laughably juvenile debating, resorting to feelings instead of research, etc.Plus, they assert that the Earth is only thousands of years old. Need I say more?

Like God's Not Dead that came out that same year it makes college look like a bad place for Christians to go, independent thought is evil and that faith can win in a straw man argument. The only difference is that it attacks evolutionary sciences instead of atheism. What they fail to realize is 1) people need to college to get better jobs 2) Creationism is a joke 3) Critical thinking is more relevant in today's society than faith alone & 4) Those of us who actually went to college know that science (even when it has nothing to do with evolution) is part of General Ed requirements. Question: did the people involved with the making of this film actually go to college?
