God's Not Dead Page #4

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.

namely, the universe

and everything in it.

But in his

book, "The God Delusion,"

Richard Dawkins says

Dawkins' question

only makes sense

in terms of a God

who has been created.

And even leaving God

out of the equation,

with answering

this same question

of how did things start.

To believe in a Creator

behind the creation.

The world's most

famous scientist,

and who is not a theist,

I haven't avoided it,

I just didn't--

You just didn't

know about it.

"Spontaneous creation

is the reason

"there is something

instead of nothing.

"It is not necessary

to invoke God

to set the universe

in motion."

End of quote.

But his point remains.

How do you answer?

I don't know.

You don't know?

I prick the balloon

of your entire argument

with a single pin,

and you don't know?

Huh.

But it doesn't shake

my underlying faith.

"Oh, yes he is."

Well, I look forward

to next week's lecture.

Class is dismissed.

That I won't

have an answer for?

I never said

I was smarter.

Now, I want to

make this clear.

In that classroom,

there is a god,

and yep, I'm him.

In front of my students.

Pre-law?

We don't award

degrees in that.

Don't bother answering,

but know this,

of a law degree

in your future.

Have a nice day.

- You did it, didn't you?

- What?

You know what

I'm talking about.

You went and did your

argument, didn't you?

Yeah, yeah I did.

What were you

trying to prove?

That's it?

It's just--it's over?

It's over, Josh.

After I already told you

what would happen--

Yeah, but that's sort of

the point, isn't it?

This is something that's

important to me, right,

but since it's not

important to you,

you made it a make-it-

or-break-it-thing for us.

You didn't ask me,

you told me.

It wasn't a decision

that we made,

Well, somebody had to.

Okay-

That's it? "Okay"?

It's not what I want.

But I have to

do this thing.

Now that I've started.

My mother was

so right about you.

Hey, Fa hid.

Maybe avoid

that downward slide

When you see it

as a life to save--

1 Corinthians

says you're saved,

If you believe this

in your heart,

and he'll set you free.

Give me that!

Give me that!

Swear it!

Bottle of

Cristal, my table.

Yes, Mr. Shelley.

I have some news.

Me too.

Okay, but me first.

I've just

been named partner.

I think I have cancer.

Did you hear me?

Did you hear

what I just said?

I have cancer.

This couldn't wait

until tomorrow?

What?

How can you

say that to me?

I thought you loved me.

You make it sound like

a contract negotiation.

Well, what did you

think this was?

I thought it was love.

Grow up, Amy.

And you're as guilty of it

as anybody.

We had fun.

Out of the relationship
