*Grin* Great, I just didn't want to make you feel too guilty. There are quite a few movies that I watch that I don't recommend to others. It may seem hypocritical ... but, the way I look at it is that a recommendation or commendation of a movie/show is an endorsement and an acknowledgement that it's worthy of praise. The real question is should we watch what is not "praise worthy" as it talks about in Philippians. Maybe we should only watch what we can praise? That's a tough question to answer. I've very tempted to say YES. (The ramifications of such an answer are enormous.)
I've watched parts of all the various "kinds" of Star Trek. Probably my favorites were the ones with Picard (The Next Generation). He was one of the best actors. The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was probably the worst (most immoral) of the Star Treks, though I only watched about two of those.
Now, when I said that they were all influenced by evolution, I meant that evolution is part of the worldview of the creators of the films. The fact that there are aliens in them is testament to the evolutionary beliefs of the moviemakers. But, there were some otherwise morally good episodes that had good morals, like you say.
It's interesting. Generally, with a lot of movies I can come away with some good message, if I'm looking hard enough or if I interpret elements in an extravagant way that probably weren't meant to be morally significant. Even with Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith (a dark movie), I was able to glean some positive messages. That's just an aside. :)
*Raised eyebrows* Do you believe in aliens by any chance?
It's just that evolutionist are the predominate proponents of the existence of alien lifeforms. Of course, many occultists also believe in them.
You're right in your inference: God could have created life on other planets, but there is no biblical evidence for that proposal. The Bible seems to intimate that mankind is the capstone of His creation. Why would God make other intelligent beings on other planets and not tell us? It's within the realm of possibilities, but then you would have to deal with Christ dying for other races of beings (unless these other intelligent beings were holy)...
