This movie is apparently meant to make a statement on the difference between sacred and secular knowledge; and the value of science, to both. Written in a time when religion was still held in some kind of regard by the entertainment industry, there seem to be arguments made on behalf of both the religious and non-religious communities. Fast-forwarding to the end, showed some kind of destruction; no doubt brought on by the refusal of each side to cooperate with the other. It looked dramatic and in some way compelling; but was too boring for me.
