Leading creationist Ken Ham, who recently debated Bill Nye, says that the new blockbuster, starring Russell Crowe, is an insult to Christians: "Ultimately, there is barely a hint of biblical fidelity in this film. It is an unbiblical, pagan film from its start"
Now, if a Christian who is knowledgeable about the true account of Noah knows of someone who has already seen the film, then that believer should certainly take the opportunity to share about the truthfulness of God’s Word — including the forgiveness offered in Jesus Christ, our modern-day Ark of salvation. But, in the end, the movie is so anti-biblical that it will do more harm than good in relation to the Christian faith and the Word of God.
There will be many people who will choose to see this movie. We can’t prevent that, and I am not calling for a boycott. But we have an obligation to send out a warning, and in so doing also to communicate biblical truths and undo the possible damage that might be caused by this sci-fi fantasy — one that is making a mockery of the Word of God and its true account of Noah, the Flood, and the Ark.
While the Bible’s account of the Flood is one of judgment, it is also one about mercy and salvation. Likewise, our future full-size evangelistic Noah’s Ark will honor the Bible as God’s Word and not treat it as a pagan fable.
“Noah” is an insult to Bible-believing Christians, an insult to the character of Noah, and most of all, an insult to the God of the Bible. As a result, I believe Hollywood will have a much harder time in marketing future biblically themed movies to Christians.
