Did Roma Downey (The Bible), Darren Aronofsky (Noah) and Ridley Scott (Exodus: Gods and Kings) successfully reproduce the Bible “as written” in 2013/2014? That depends upon your biblical knowledge regarding angel ninjas fighting Sodomites (very “Kill Bill”), Daniel thrown into the Lions Den by Cyrus (it was Darius, oops!), Jesus holding a rock over the adulterous woman in a stoning stance and the kiss of life given to the dead Lazarus’ head by Jesus. Remember the exploding, ark-building rock monsters and magic Methuselah from “Noah?” What about Christian Bales “Exodus: Gods and Kings” when Moses was confronted by a child-God at the burning bush who asks Moses who he is (not all-knowing?) and later the insecure boy-deity asks Moses’ opinion of the Ten Commandments. Remember the Hebrews secret weapons factory in Egypt? What? The boat attacking JAWS-like crocodiles (the first plague) or Moses’ near drowning in the Red Sea via waterspouts after a shooting star, not God, lowered the Red Sea? Compelling adventures for sure but it’s not Bible, says Rick Dack of Defending the Bible International (www.defendingthebible.com).
