Too bad they didn’t name it:
“Valley of the Nephalim”
Then they could have hollywooded all night long and into the next day
Noah? Uh, no.
Thanks. I was curious but wasn’t going to waste money on it.
Bill Cosby used to do a funny bit about Noah.
Replaces sin according to God with sin according to Gaia and Al Gore. Trash. Also funny that they substituted God for Creator to appeal to other faiths.... then it was banned across the Muslim world. Fail.
“How long can you tread water?”
Maybe when it comes on TV....
I’m not going to waste my precious time, never mind my money.
>>A mere oversight in a movie about Noah ... “God” is never mentioned.
These were people who aren’t far removed from the originally created couple, Adam and Eve. It is not unreasonable to think that they would call God “Creator”, since that was a pretty big thing.
So basically, it’s a remake of Evan Almighty....All that’s missing is Morgan Freeman to play God.
I don’t know who the author thinks “The Creator” is but, he is most certainly God.
Think about it: We owe a due reverance to our creato, God.
“The Great Architect” of the universe is God.
All of creation was of “The Master Planner”, God.
At the time Noah, I imagine, man was still very much in the beginning stage of the sciences, math and understanding of their existence and from whence they came.
God has come to be known by many and highly appropriate terms, all of which accurately describe our understanding of him, his creation and cause us to consider our spiritual place in his various plans, as well as our physical place and “why?” for our existence and “why?” we are here at this place, this time on the 3rd rock from the sun.
It is The Creator from whom all existence occurred and takes place.
All things have a mathematical formula for it’s being, its shape, its size and placement in the universe.
Why? We don’t kniw yet but, what we are learning is that math is the foundation for everythings existence.
Knowing that math explains a “why” and can prove with predictability, repeatadly, we are left to ask “Where did that formula come from?”.
We are only now learning that which “The Creator” always understood, understands and has left to us his legacy for curiosity, creating, understanding that which we create(as man) and proving its truth by a repeatable process.
It is “The Creator” and “Great Architect” of the universe who gave us all that we know and we are now discovering the mathematical formulas for explaining everything.
So who created the secrets of mathematical formulas?
“God, The Creator and Great Architect of the Universe”.
We owe reverance to our creator, much like we owe reverance to our parents.
When I bow my head and give thanks I thank my creator.
He had no reason to create me that I understand and none further for allowing me to exist today, yesterday or maybe tomorrow but, he did create me.
The Creator is our God, The One True God who created all that exists and we owe our due reverance to The Great Architect of the Universe, God, The Creator.
Not pithy but, maybe useful to someone...
I’ve always liked Russell Crowe’s committment to being in movies that have a decent message. In this one, though, the sales people snookered him. Like one article said, “don’t start a land war in Asia”. Next to it, “Don’t make a bible movie that bears zero resemblance to the bible.”
This might have been the films redemption...
nah...
OMG!!!
My Dad has that record. I think it’s the one with Cosby and a Basketball.
“Noah!” Still funny and I’ll bet it’s on Youtube...
I’ll be if I ponder that album, I can repeat the story ala Cosby.
That was sometime in the 60’s. We lived in Reno when that came out and I remember it vividly.
Based on the spoilers presented here, I think the producers used some secondary sources including the book of Enoch, the work of scientists at the Institute for Creation Research, and from a fiction series by Vaughn Tepper (”The People of the Ark”, etc) just to name a few.
Obviously, this isn’t the children’s Sunday school version of the Flood, but that isn’t perfectly biblical either.
Although they did add a lot of extra-biblical stuff to the movie, I don’t think they took anything away from it. I’ll go see it, because I’ve read the book (and all those secondary sources as well) and I’m intrigued.
ROTFLMAO!!!!
Gawd, I can remember playing that album.
Soh funny, even today...
