Schultes Vanderbilt University, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf Recommended Citation Schultes, John S. (2003) "Any Gods Out There?

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Any Gods Out There? Perceptions of Religion from Star Wars and Star Trek Abstract Hollywood films and eligionr have an ongoing rocky relationship, especially in the realm of science fiction. A brief comparison study of the two giants of mainstream sci-fi, Star Wars and Star Trek reveals the differing attitudes toward religion expressed in the genre. Star Trek presents an evolving perspective, from critical secular humanism to begrudging personalized faith, while Star Wars presents an ambiguous mythological foundation for mystical experience that is in more ways universal. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol7/iss2/3 Schultes: Any Gods Out There? Science Fiction has come of age in the 21st century. From its humble beginnings, "Sci- Fi" has been used to express the desires and dreams of those generations who looked up at the stars and imagined life on other planets and space travel, those who actually saw the beginning of the space age, and those who still dare to imagine a universe with wonders beyond what we have today.

  • Materialism for the Masses: Cosmos Reboot Distorts the History of Science and Scrubs the Evidence for Intelligent Design
    CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE PO Box 8500, Charlotte, NC 28271 Feature Article: JAF3374 MATERIALISM FOR THE MASSES: COSMOS REBOOT DISTORTS THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND SCRUBS THE EVIDENCE FOR INTELLIGENT DESIGN by Casey Luskin This article first appeared in the CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL, volume 37, number 04 (2014). For further information or to subscribe to the CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL, go to: http://www.equip.org/christian-research-journal/. SYNOPSIS In the original 1980 Cosmos series, Carl Sagan famously declared, “The cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be.” This spring, a new thirteen-episode Cosmos series aired on Fox, aiming to bring Sagan’s materialistic message to a new generation. Hosted by atheist astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, and executive produced by atheist comedian Seth MacFarlane and atheist Star Trek writer Brannon Braga, the series has an unhidden antireligious agenda. The Cosmos reboot has been sharply criticized—even by evolutionists—for inventing stories about religious persecution of scientists while whitewashing religion’s positive historical influence on science. It promotes “unguided” and “mindless” evolution while omitting scientific evidence that challenges neo-Darwinism or supports intelligent design. It promotes the Copernican Principle, claiming it is a “delusion” to believe Earth occupies a “privileged position.” The series seeks to inspire an atheistic scientific utopian vision of the future by throwing off the shackles of religion, and branding dissenters from the “consensus” as unthinking “deniers” who lack “scientific literacy,” and threaten human progress. Ironically, the show endorses nonconsensus views, such as panspermia and the multiverse. While the new Cosmos boasts high quality computer-generated imagery and offers lucid explanations of uncontroversial scientific topics, it was created by celebrity CRI Web: www.equip.org Tel: 704.887.8200 Fax:704.887.8299 atheists seeking to advance a materialistic worldview and public policies consistent with their ideology.

    Paramount Collection Airtight To control the air is to rule the world. Nuclear testing has fractured the Earth's crust, releasing poisonous gases into the atmosphere. Breathable air is now an expensive and rare commodity. A few cities have survived by constructing colossal air stacks which reach through the toxic layer to the remaining pocket of precious air above. The air is pumped into a huge underground labyrinth system, where a series of pipes to the surface feed the neighborhoods of the sealed city. It is the Air Force, known as the "tunnel hunters", that polices the system. Professor Randolph Escher has made a breakthrough in a top-secret project, the extraction of oxygen from salt water in quantity enough to return breathable air to the world. Escher is kidnapped by business tycoon Ed Conrad, who hopes to monopolize the secret process and make a fortune selling the air by subscription to the masses. Because Conrad Industries controls the air stacks, not subscribing to his "air service" would mean certain death. When Air Force Team Leader Flyer Lucci is murdered, his son Rat Lucci soon uncovers Conrad's involvement in his father's death and in Escher's kidnapping. Rat must go after Conrad, not only to avenge his father's murder, but to rescue Escher and his secret process as well. The loyalties of Rat's Air Force colleagues are questionable, but Rat has no choice. Alone, if necessary, he must fight for humanity's right to breathe. Title Airtight Genre Action Category TV Movie Format two hours Starring Grayson McCouch, Andrew Farlane, Tasma Walton Directed by Ian Barry Produced by Produced by Airtight Productions Proprietary Ltd.
