"Pitch Black" from a religious point of view

From the religious point of view

, there is no evidence to prove that God exists in
"Pitch Black" ; there is no evidence to prove that God does not exist; so "Pitch Black" discusses two questions:
Does God exist?
Is God cruel and ruthless?

The male protagonist believes that God exists, and he says "I hate God". I think his reasoning is: God is too cruel to leave people in dark sin and fear, and let evil and beasts be king.
Even when the heroine had a difficult choice between survival or keeping her promise and returning to the dark to take a risk to save people, he used survival to tempt and test her.
I think 1 is the best looking at the moment when the heroine is ready to succumb. She recalled having to give up the cargo hold during the forced landing—a decision that she was ashamed and threatened later, and made her sure of her own worth—and would not do anything that would not allow her to be upright, even death. This is also the reason why she turned back to save him in the end, so she said: not for you

. And to this world, are the moving things—flowers, life, family, history—all created by the unconscious collision of atoms and molecules, created by science without emotion? What power makes the heroine make such a change, is the power of death and fear not strong enough?
Does God exist?
At the end of the film, when the last 3 people fly away from this living hell in a shuttle, maybe they will not forget the heroine who sacrificed for them. But they don't know that the change in the heroine's mind begins at the beginning of the disaster, the staff member who opened the cargo compartment so that the cockpit cannot be separated from the cargo compartment. Without him, there would be no compliments from the surviving passengers that would allow the heroine to recognize her responsibility and honor from shame. There are also immigration points and shuttles. The ring is buckled, and it is already ready.
On the other hand, looking at the escape route of the survivors, except for external causes, it is the selfishness, indifference, and violence in human nature that kill them... Is
God resolutely ruthless?

Everyone has their own preferences and answers~
