God's Not Dead Page #3

Synopsis: Freshman university student Josh Wheaton attends a philosophy class, where the uncompromising Professor Radisson requires all students to submit a signed statement that the "God is dead" and never existed. When Josh refuses due to his own Christian beliefs, the Professor challenges him to defend his position that his god, Yahweh, is real, leading to a series of confrontational presentations between himself and the professor, with the class as jury. Josh's plans to go to law school depend on not failing this class. Josh's girlfriend urges him not to throw away his future with this pointless act of defiance. At the same time, Pastor Dave and African missionary Jude attempt to leave town on a trip, but are hindered by comical accidents. Student Ayisha is at odds with her father's conservative religious principles. Businessman Mark acts cynically towards his mentally ill mother, while his journalist girlfriend receives bad news from a doctor.

in town next Friday.

You are amazing,

which is why I love you.

You know, I just--

You get that, can't you?

- Sure.

- Forgive me?

- Always.

Come on.

I just need--

Whoa!

Well, that can't

all be Statistics.

Not all of it.

Okay, most of it.

Josh, that's not funny.

Okay, it's really not.

Look, this is something

I want to do, okay?

Josh, everything

you do is about us.

Okay, we're a team.

I'm a part of that.

Yeah, well,

neither do my parents

if every single person

that loves you

is saying

the exact same thing?

This experiment is over.

You need to prioritize

and decide

What if it's God?

And move on.

We're not in

high school anymore.

Josh!

Josh, this is serious.

I know.

You know.

Standing in front

of the fairy tale castle.

Can you not

understand that?

Sixteenth biggest.

It will be

the world's biggest

and I'll be glad that

it's not taller than it is.

Maybe the battery--

Or the starter.

I'll call and arrange

for a rental car.

But how will we

get to the rental car?

They'll deliver it to us.

Are you serious?

Yeah, absolutely.

They'll deliver us

the car we are to drive?

Yeah.

Hello?

Amazing.

But there

are some flat-earthers out there

to be either necessary,

or self-evident, or both.

Who will be presenting

his case in favor

of a supreme

celestial dictator,

Mr. Wheaton,

are you ready?

Podium is yours.

And well, they're right.

But the only way

to debate this issue

is to look at

the available evidence,

and that's what

we're going to do.

We're going to

put God on trial,

and you as the jury.

In an event

known as the Big Bang.

So, let's look

at theoretical physicist

of what the Big Bang

would have looked like.

In his description.

In the beginning,

there was an explosion,

or ever will be,

was produced.

We had a universe.

For 2,500 years,

that the universe

has always existed

who was actually also--

What's a theist?

Out of nothingness,

in an unimaginably

intense flash of light

is how he would expect

the universe to respond

"Let there be light."

and for 2,500 years,

So, the

earliest you can get here is 5?

Okay, we'll be waiting.

Wait, it has

air conditioning, right?

Okay, thanks.

It's okay, David.

Sure.

We can meet

the choir director,

Or we could meet

the women's club

Lots of important stuff.

You'll have time

to meet Mina for lunch.

Right, I can meet

Mina for lunch.

No, I just need

to do some meaningful work

This coming

from the missionary

who literally

is in the trenches,

He who is faithful

in a very little thing

is also faithful in much.

God knows

you're doing the work.

It's all part

of his grand design.

Jumping into existence

out of nothingness,
