topography, wasteland, you just have the story on global warming, and it s really an insertion of a 21st century political agenda into this film. it really doesn t make sense. it sounds kind of preachy, actually. well,preachy. it is a movie, jerry. it is just a movie. so that s okay. but you know, it s it s forced. you ll have to see the film to see it. this has been called the year of the bible by some in hollywood following last year s hugely popular the bible tv series, son of god , mark bur net s film has done better than expected god is not dead in the box office. still to come heaven is for real. exodus in september. are you encouraged? i went to see walter mitty and there were three trailers and it is a new day in hollywood
po proportions for the blockbuster movie noah. a great flood is coming. we ll build a vessel to survive the form. we ll build an ark. the ark! is this the end of everything? the beginning. the beginning of everything. noah debuted at number one this weekend, taking in $44 million, and $95 million worldwide. that s despite some mixed reviews and controversy surrounding the film. it s getting criticized in some religious circles for not being faithful to one of the bible s most famous stories. jerry johnson is president and ceo of the national religious broadcasters. jerry, thanks for being with me, sir. thank you, craig. it s good to be with you. the film has been criticized for among other things, not
bible, and you just did a segment, craig, on the innocence project, well, this could be about the guilt project. that is, what does god do with guilt. and the bible has this story that god is judging, and people don t talk about that today, and i think that s interesting, that this film coming out of hollywood, would talk about the idea of sin and judgment and, of course, the flip side of that is that god is a god of mercy and god is a god of grace, so noah and his family are saved on the ark, and this is important, craig, because the bible says that this is a picture of the cross, at the cross, god judged our sin. at the cross, god showed mercy. this is why jesus died at the cross for our sins and rose again. it s a great message for christians and for jews. what s one of the minuses? well, craig, there s an extreme environmentalism agenda. you ll see visions of mad max
