The theory of atheistic evolution was the mandated theory of origins in all communist countries. The philosophy that comes from it undergirds the reasoning for abortion and other abusive medical practices. Ultimately, the theory of atheistic evolution undermines Western society and the Bible. This is a weighty issue that few churches pay attention to, despite the scientific evidence to the contrary. Every Christian high school student should be trained in how to explain the logical and scientific reasons for a creationist theory of origins--which is just as defensible as evolution in science.--Bob Fox, Editor

Ben Stein follows his journey around the globe where he discovers that scientists, educators and philosophers are being persecuted in a modern day witch hunt because they dare to go against the theory of evolution. These pillars of education are being fired, ridiculed and ostracized for merely challenging Darwin’s theory; proposing that life on this planet could be a part of some intelligent design and not random chance. This thought-provoking film not only forces us to question what we have been taught but challenges us to ask--What else is being kept from us? Playng at Regal Columbus Stadium 12 at 104 Constitution Dr, Virginia Beach, VA 23462. Movie Times: noon, 2:25, 4:50, 7:20, 9:45
