Review of God's Not Dead (2014) by Stcenterprise . — 23 Aug 2014

I just got done seeing God is not Dead with the youth group. By the way God exist & lives.

I was surprised by the lack of primary resources from witness, and foreign sources to use to support the claim that God is real.

There was a lack of biblical scriptural evidence but also there are better resources to support God's existence than that used in the film. There was a lack of primary evidence from numerous witnesses who could have supported God's existence after his resurrection presented in this film.

I was shocked when the teacher mentioned that he would take it personally if he did not say God was not real. Shoot if a teacher did that I would go up so some of his faculty members and charge him for disrespecting my own beliefs. I couldn't believe how he took this so personally to be concerned out his own reputation and legitimacy for his Psychology course. He should have been fired. There were a few things he said & did which were questionable or would have got him kicked out from teaching presented in this film. Or to get a bad grade based upon what one believes rather than how ones goes about his argument seemed highly unusual and unexceptible behavior from a professor in a U.S. university system.

Some of the support I found wasn't quiet as strong as I would have expected particularly from the teacher and pastor which were weak support.

Like the Steven Hawking quote which was a theoretical response that was a what if sinarow if God does not exhist not an evidence support.

I was overwhelmed by how good the PowerPoints were from a business major in his freshmen year. It seemed unrealistic for him to be able to have the software to create such great graphics in a PowerPoint that would require things like Photoshop or some other type of programs. What is a business major doing with that kind of technology anyways. he should be able to have that sort of technology. The PowerPoints seemed unrealistical advanced for a freshmen in college who is a business major. A business major would not have the technology advanced enough to create such a PowerPoint. A arts or graphics major might but not a business major. The support he was using seemed far more advanced than I would expect from a freshmen. It matched that more of a junior or senior of college.

Also the resources he was using to back up his argument seemed recent and available not in a library or online.

I will admit that I did enjoy the film. I felt engaged the entire time to watch the film. I felt that if I left for a minute I would miss a significant portion of the story that could prove important. It was very intelligent engagement of thought.

I was also surprised by the girl friends responses to supporting weather God is real. It seemed unbelievable how upset she was about what his boyfriend was doing. It seemed outrageous. Why does she care so much about what he is doing for a grade.

For the Muslim girl I felt like there were better examples than 1st Peter to respond to the predicament that she was in after her father rejected her and kicked her out of the family for listening to the preacher speak about the New Testament on her iPod. Mosses being rejected from his Egyptian family or Joseph loosing everything after his brothers sold him inso slavery would have been better examples for the preacher to use than that of what the pastor used.

This film lacked historical evidence and support to back up that God is alive.

The Schrod of Terren was not used as evidence.

I felt Skeptical about the evidence presented since it was not the best support.

The teacher was bad in that he insulted his own wife. Like really.

The way the story was told reminded me of the way "Crash" was told.

I found ironic the way the teacher faced God at the end.

The preacher was more of a pastor at the end of film than that during the entire film.

I was surprised by the end credits by the shear number of colleges and Universities who had students face questions about their faith. I want to say it doesn't surprise me though.

I have to say that even if I found many flaws with this film concerning how the film was presented I felt like it was a good film because at the end it made you think, and engage into critical thinking of what ifs and what could the other side have debated about or evidence could they have done that was not bought up. This film shows why this matters to use today and is very relevant for so many schools to question religion to this day.
