I asked for Christian reviews for The Theory of Everything and got this response from Google Gemini:

QUOTE:
The Story of Everything (2026) is a science-focused documentary
exploring cosmology and molecular biology to argue for an intelligent
Creator. Christian reviewers and faith-based audiences largely praise
the film for bolstering belief, though some noted a lack of explicit theological focus.

Key Christian Perspectives & Reviews

Faith-Affirming Science: Christian critics appreciate the film's
reliance on empirical science rather than traditional biblical
apologetics to defend theism. Reviewers highlight arguments such as the
Big Bang pointing to a definite beginning, the "fine-tuning" of the
universe, and DNA as evidence of a "master programmer".

Evangelical Endorsements: Prominent Christian apologists like Lee
Strobel champion the documentary, noting it provides young people with confidence in their faith and effectively challenges materialistic
worldviews.

Desire for Deeper Scripture: Some conservative Christian reviewers noted
the film leaves room for ambiguity. While appreciating the defense of an "intelligent designer," they pointed out that the documentary doesn't explicitly align with Genesis creation accounts or promote a specific religion, focusing primarily on proving a Designer rather than Jesus Christ.

Audience Reception: On community platforms like IMDb Audience Reviews, Christian viewers praise the film as a beautiful, family-friendly
exploration of science and religion, while Rotten Tomatoes Audience
Reviews suggest it is a valuable antidote to secular/atheistic
viewpoints often taught in universities.

For deeper analysis and specific commentaries on the film's arguments,
you can read the breakdown on Answers in Genesis or the review published
by Catholic World Report.

Basically Christians, that want to be lied to about reality, are
positive about the movie. Some that understood that they were being
lied to about reality did not like the movie that much, and wanted the
movie to more clearly lie to them about reality. None of the reviewers
wanted to deal with the fact that the god supported by the movie was not
the Biblical god.

I asked Google why no one was addressing the fact that the god
identified by the movie was not the god described in the Bible, and
Google acknowledged that this is relevant to any discussion of the
movie, and claimed that the AIG review made that connection when they
claimed that the movie did not deal with specific theology. Other
reviews like the Catholic World Report review runs from this reality and wallows in the gap denial without dealing with the reality of a non
Biblical god filling the gaps. Google acknowledged that the topics
covered in The Story of Everything did not support the literal
interpretation of the Bible and claimed that YEC would have the most difficulty with what was discussed in the movie.

Google was aware that the movie fooled the rubes by not dealing with
how, the context that the Big Bang, fine tuning and origin of life,
exist within this universe.

No Christians seem to be willing to acknowledge what the science really
means.

Harran put up the Pope Francis quote acknowledging that the Bible could
not be taken literally as a creation by 6 magic acts, and that he could believe in the god that created everything using the Big Bang. The
movie should have made this very clear, but the ID perps made a movie
for the people that wanted to be lied to about reality. MarkE and
Sticks are such Christians.

Google claimed that the ID perp's obfuscation and denial about their
gaps is likely a strategy. The ID perps want to first establish that
some god might exist, and that they will have to deal with the
theological implications of their god-of-the-gap arguments later.
Google misses the fact that later has never arrived. The ID perps have
been running the bait and switch on hapless creationist rubes for over
24 years. How are the ID perps going to address reality? All they have
ever used ID for is as bait to sell the rubes a bunch of obfuscation and evolution denial stupidity (Wells' Icons of Evolution) that they claim
has nothing to do with ID. They have never attempted to create an
intelligent design hypothesis that is consistent with their Top Six god-of-the-gaps science denial arguments. Science can't explain the
gaps, but what do the gaps tell us about the ID perp's designer?

The Big Bang happened over 13 billion years ago. There would have been
some fine tuning of the physical constants before or during the Big
Bang. Another round of fine tuning occurred with the creation of our
solar system so that it could harbor life. It took over 8 billion years
for the elements that our solar system is made of to be created by dying
or colliding stars in the star poor region of our galaxy that our solar
system formed in. Our sun and fellow planets would have formed out of
this evolving stellar debris. It took over 8 billion years to produce
the right mix of elements for the production of life on earth. Life on
earth seems to have originated soon after there was liquid water,
possibly around 4 billion years ago, and life has been evolving on this
planet for billions of years. This is the reality that the movie should
have presented, but it did not.

Ray claimed to be a Biblical literalist (he wasn't a standard Biblical literalist) and he would have called the god depicted in the movie a
false god, and the people that believed that such a god existed would be considered to be atheists by Ray. Ray called theistic evolutionists
atheists because they believed in a non Biblical god. Anyone that did
not believe in Ray's god of the Bible was an atheist. What are the ID
perps, and the creationists that want to be lied to by the ID perps?

Ray wasn't the only literal Biblical creationist posting to TO that
called Christian theistic evolutionists, atheists. Glenn made the same
claim. Glenn could never deal with the Top Six IDiotic gap denial
arguments as the ID perps had presented them. He and MarkE ran from the
Top Six instead of dealing with them in an honest and straight forward
manner. Glenn started putting up the second rate junk that the ID perps
had produced that they did not place among their best gap denial
stupidity. The designer of the Top Six wasn't any designer that Glenn
wanted to deal with. Glenn, like MarkE, only wanted to be lied to by
the ID perps. Glenn did not want to accept what the ID perps had told
him about the Top Six. Glenn's solution was to pretend to be willfully ignorant of how the ID perps had committed suicide by presenting the Top
Six as they had presented them. Glenn understood enough to realize that
Glenn could not deal honestly with the Top Six, and tried to pretend
that they did not exist until Glenn quit posting. Glenn was an odd
sort. I never knew whether or not to call Glenn a he or a she. Glenn
being Glenn would never admit to being one or the other whenever the
subject came up, at least, I do not recall any resolution on that issue.

I asked Google Gemini if there were any other creationist organizations besides the AIG that thought that the documentary "The Story of
Everything" did not support Biblical literalism and it came up with two
more web sources. Creation Ministries International noted that the Big
Bang cosmology of the movie was inconsistent with young earth
creationism. Gemini claimed that Independent Creationist Ministries
thought that the Big Bang, fine tuning and the origin of life depicted
in the movie could lead viewers to believe that it is not necessary to
believe in a young earth. I had already put up that link in another thread.

Independent Creationist Ministries: https://steveschramm.com/the-story-of-everything-helpful-or-hurtful-for-christians/

Gemini gave the incorrect link to the Creation Ministries International
(it gave the wiki entry for some reason) but I found the review. https://creation.com/en/articles/the-story-of-everything-review

This just means that young earth creationist organizations are aware
that the Discovery Institute ID perps were fooling the rubes with the documentary. They think that it is a dangerous thing to do, and could
allow believers to start thinking that they do not have to take the
Bible literally.

The ID perps are just using The Story of Everything as bait. It isn't anything that they want the rubes to fully understand. It is just the
bait to get the rubes in a state to accept their Wedge
religious-political stupidity. They do not want this junk taught
honestly in the public schools because they know that the majority of
their creationist support base do not want it to be taught in an honest
and straightforward manner. It is one of the reasons why the bait and
switch has been going down 100% of the time on any rubes that want to
teach the junk in the public schools. The ID perps have never presented
a lesson plan that would teach ID in the way that they want it to be
taught in the public schools. They have only claimed that it is legal
to teach the junk.

The Big Bang is already one of the science topics that the YEC have
tried to remove from the high school science standards in multiple
states, and they succeeded in Kansas back in 1999. There is little
chance that #1 of the ID perp's Top Six god-of-the-gaps denial evidence
would be taught honestly in the public schools as something that some
god was responsible for. The Big Bang (#1), fine tuning (#2), and
origin of life (#3) are not Biblical. The god responsible for filling
those gaps is not the god described in the Bible, and some of the
creationist rubes understand that to be true. They wanted the ID perps
to more clearly misrepresent reality so that it would be consistent with Biblical literalism. They want to concentrate on the anti-evolution
aspects of the ID scam rather than the god-did-it claims. This is
actually what the ID perps have been doing by running the bait and
switch scam for over 24 years. They only offer ID as bait, and then run
in the switch scam. The switch scam is just the anti-evolution
obfuscation and denial stupidity that the scientific creationists used
to employ in the Gish gallop. The ID perps recommend Wells' Icon of
Evolution as a source for switch scam material, and all the Icons were
used by Gish in his "debates" with scientists. Gish would load his presentation with as much obfuscation and denial as he could cram into
his allowed time, and I once put up a thread demonstrating that each of
Wells' Icons had been used by Gish as part of his Gish Gallop. The ID
perps tell the rubes that the switch scam has nothing to do with the ID
scam, but that is a lie because ID is just a name change from scientific creationism, and the obfuscation and denial along with the Top Six god-of-the-gaps "evidence" were all used by the scientific creationists
to support creationism.
