Following on the heels of the unfortunately successful God Is Dead, there’s another movie coming out this fall pitting another godless professor up against a faithful Christian student and her father.
This one’s called A Matter of Faith and the trailer features the scare-line: “The guy’s an evolutionist!”
Not only is the Biology professor a man of (*gasp*) science, Biblical Creationism isn’t even in his course description!
The climax of the movie appears to be the totally-plausible evolution/Creationism debate between the professor… and the main character’s dad. (Which, to be fair, is about as unequal a pairing as Bill Nye and Ken Ham.) I wonder who will come out on top in this fictional world…
To paraphrase a commenter at Pharyngula, they might as well just call this one Strawman 2 and capitalize on the success of sequels.
The movie comes out on September 26.
