Often it does seem such a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.

'Noah' doesn't merely get the story wrong; like all Biblical adaptations, it's bound to do that (although some aspects of the film are out and out ridiculous). It gets the morality of the story wrong, and in the process turns God into Gaia and morality into radical deep green environmentalism.

Theology made no provision for evolution. The biblical authors had missed the most important revelation of all! Could it be that they were not really privy to the thoughts of God?

Noah walked with God; he didn't only preach righteousness, he acted it. He went through water and didn't melt. He breasted the current of the popular opinion of his day, scorning alike the hatred and ridicule of the scoffers who mocked at the thought of there being but one way of salvation.

There is but one Church in which men find salvation, just as outside the ark of Noah it was not possible for anyone to be saved.

I am baffled by the way sophisticated theologians who know Adam and Eve never existed still keep talking about it.

Predicting rain doesn't count. Building arks does.

The Lord made Adam, the Lord made Eve, he made 'em both a little bit naive.

Given the unprecedented ignorance of the Bible in contemporary America, it is likely that more young Americans will only know the Noah of 'Noah.' We can only hope that the film offers even a fraction of the wisdom of the original.

The earth was cursed for Adam's sake. Work is our blessing, not our doom. God has a work to do, and so should we.
