      Excerpts of classic lines

      1. So what's more likely? An all-powerful God created the universe, then decided not to give any proof of His existence? Or that he doesn't exist at all and that we created him so we wouldn'f feel so small and alone.

      This movie is far more than just science fiction. The story itself has a distinct and strong world view. In fact, it is closely related to the science of consciousness (spiritual science). Interested fans can check out the original work of Carl Sagan’s "Universe" And that classic 13-episode documentary of the same name. If there is only us in the vast universe, it would be too wasteful of the universe and space. In fact, regardless of religion or science, one must believe in love! ★★★★
