Being upset that a biology teacher doesn't include bible studies in their curriculum makes as much sense as being upset that the English lit course lacked a section on baking pineapple upsidedown cake.

[The-Chair]

The fact that evolution is so poorly explained in this film really shows how it was written by a creationist

[thewillo]

What's more Christian than a movie about a young girls journey into adulthood having the climax being two men talk at the viewer

It is so gross the way Rachel was treated. Her feelings and desires were run over by her father and the future boyfriend. Chinstrap disrespected her in every interaction. Her ending up with him makes me feel actually sick. What a marriage that will be.

$10 says the reason all those young women are wearing scarfs (scarves?) is to cover up their chest.

"This movie was free on youtube and I still want my money back." Pretty much describes my feelings on any religious propaganda like this.

[rtvandle]

She really wanted to be a pharmacist so she took one course of biology, none in chemistry, and every other course has nothing to do with this major

An Atheist young Boy not accepting Rachels Personal Feelings and boundaries: UNACCEPTABLE
A Christian guy and her Dad doing the exact same thing: yeah yeha cool cool

[UltraPoseidon]

As an actor I can tell you that a lot of the people in this are very blatantly wearing the "I'm just happy I'm in a movie" face and are glad for the paycheck.

[justinwatson]

It was pretty progressive of her dad to expect he to stick to casual sex until her 40s

As a Ukrainian girl, who was raised in a very religious protestant (evangelical) family. When me and my sister were younger our parents often showed us this movie and other American christian movies like "God is not dead" etc
And back then those movies appeared to be pretty good to me, I would think like: "wow, this guy just completely destroys evolution! If only atheist watched this movie and listened to his arguments they would all convert to Christianity. And this thing with chicken and egg is so cool and smart!"
And now looking at those films again I just realize how cringy and stupid they are, and that those "arguments" can't even be considered arguments, leave alone convince somebody. I started deconstructing my faith about a year ago, ( war became the trigger that made me reconsider my values and beliefs) I'm 18 years old I still live with my family, and I must say that it's not easy, because Christianity is something that I was taught to build my life around, I'm still on this way. I started learning about evolution recently, basically all I was taught about it by my parents was: "those stupid scientists believe that we evolved from chimpanzees, so when they will teach you about this in school don't believe it, you can even get a bad grade for these lessons and we won't be mad at you" so I never took it seriously. And now I am learning from basics and your channel helps me sooo much!!!
You explain those things in such a simple language that even me, non native English speaker without much knowledge of the topic can understand it. Keep doing it, please. Just wanted you to know that your channel is very helpful and I'm so happy that I found you ❤😊
(Wow, guys thank you all for your responses and support, that's probably the nicest comment section I've ever been to 🤗
And thank you for recommending other channels on this topic, I know the majority of them already) but some are new to me
Thank you again))

35:32 "That's my best line, that's all I've got" That wasn't the character talking, it was the actor

[Leith_Crowther]

20:30 The accusation that evolutionists just teach stuff from books without critical thought should really be considered a confession.

[archmage]

We wanted to send her to a good Christian University to protect her from truth and actual education

[sntxrrr]

"She publicly humiliated a random stranger because her friends told her to. WTH?" Its because some Christians don't have moral ideals to strive towards but only rules to avoid eternal prison.

[chloeshowalter]

As a college professor it’s important to note that professors are not allowed to discuss how their students are doing with their parents because the students are adults and we as professors cannot disclose information about them to anyone, including parents. We have to have consent in person with the student present to talk about anything regarding the student.

[williamdowling]

"rachel is a model student. Shes always studying. And she's only attended ONE scarf party."

Absolute gold.

[ksbhsi]

One of the saddest things about this is that the professor is played by Harry Anderson, who was the star of the great eighties sitcom "Night Court" and had a reputation for being an excellent stand up comedian/magician. To add insult to injury, this was the final role before his death.

[jeremysmetana]

So... Soul Patch stalked this girl for eight years before revealing himself creepily after manipulating her family into this awkward debate? It's amazing to me that the people who make these movies lack the self awareness to see how creepy their Christian protagonists are.

"This goes against everything else we have taught her"

"Sir I am a biologist teaching biology. I apologize if reality doesn't match your perception of it. Your misunderstanding of reality will not effect the facts that I will be teaching"
