  The great debate between creative intelligence (code work for preplanned world) and Darwinism (unplanned world governed by environment) seems to really come down in this film to a test question: who created the first molecule? It’s a good question since molecules are the building blocks of all life on earth and so far as we know all molecules are created by other molecules so who ever or whatever created the first molecule created life on earth: call that man GOD. So let’s make GOD an acronym for Good Overall Designer. Now the debate is simpler. Whoever or whatever created the first molecule is a GOD. Well is would appear we are getting close to finding out who that is as we know each of the following is distinguished from naturally-occurring DNA or RNA by changes to the backbone of the molecule: Artificial nucleic acids include peptide nucleic acid (PNA), Morpholino and locked nucleic acid (LNA), as well as glycol nucleic acid (GNA) and threose nucleic acid (TNA). May I humbly suggest that we follow all great scientists and look for GOD in the laboratories? This movie creates a sort of Mike Moore fake controversy and then resolves it with anecdotal evidence rather than any sensible analysis of the scientific datum. This sort of pseudo science is probably good for Mr Stein’s pocket book but it does little to add to the body of available knowledge and, by taking an adversarial rather than analytical approach, exacerbates the debate oddly enough just as Mr Hitler did seventy years ago. Poor or Charles Darwin gets a bad rap. All Charles wanted to do was figure out how earthworms worked. He knew his theory was far from complete. He came unstuck on the hermaphroditic flora reproduction and was candid about it. Charles wasn’t against GOD the acronym or the spiritual leader he was living in a time when the understanding of cellular structure was just beginning and he posited based on simplistic evidence. This movie is intellectually misleading, I am tempted to say dishonest…. But it is perfectly possible to have an honest if entirely fallible credo so I will give Mr Stein the benefit of the doubt. Literally a GOD-awful movie.
(2/10)
