Hat tip to Jason Colavito for this link to a Salon.com piece on Ridley Scott’s new movie. When you click through, take note of the titling of the URL itself: “dazzling dumb-ass theology.” What a perfect, poetic description of the film and the ideas it conveys. Can’t wait to see it!

Hi Mike
Saw the movie last night (no comment since you haven’t). For various reasons I did a bit of research before and after seeing the movie. Hoping you will have some comments on it.
A few links that you might find very interesting:
1. An short interview (in print) with Ridley Scott. Gives a bit of his worldview and view on Ancient Aliens.

2. A webcast with Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof. It’s about 20 some odd minutes long. Skip to about 18:00 and listen in to a question posed about the relationship between the mythological figure, Satan in the garden, and the movie. Their initial response to the question is (me-thinks) quite interesting.

3. If you go to the official site of the movie and then to the timeline (http://www.weylandindustries.com/timeline), you’ll find only one interactive icon. It’s on the date 10-11-12 (way at the bottom). If you click on it it will bring you to – http://www.whatis101112.com/ . Interesting connection to Nietzsche.
I’m hoping to use some of these things as a bridge to speak about the truth with others. Again, your thoughts on the subject would be appreciated.
Blessings
Keith
