Agreed. There is no movie I have owned & viewed in more (legal) formats than any other. The only other movies that are even close are "Contact" and "The Matrix" (wait - there was "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Wrath of Kahn", "Aliens", "Terminator 2" ... ahhh, the classics).

Stanislav, J,

I tried to agree with what you posted, but it was still fairly plain that you, like ~95% of the other people who posted on this subject, are an Atheist. Now, despite how much I long to be eloquent on this matter, please allow me to provide the following.

1) I am definitely affirmative with the theory of Evolution; appears pretty incontrovertible to me (and without question almost everyone else who had something to say here).
2) How does Evolution discount the presence of a higher being? Only the arrogance of mortal man can come up with that one.
3) How is having faith in a concept a bad thing? After all, how in the (insert here) is Atheism any different? Those who disbelieve in something bigger than themselves obviously have a faith of their own (implication intended).

I can hope that this makes someone think, but after going through all of the postings here, any respondent to this will no doubt want to throw some object at my head.

Enough said (and my apologies if you aren't Atheist).
