Payback DC (2006)
The Director's Cut of the original 1999 Mel Gibson film. Has anyone seen both? It's fascinating the difference between them. They are extremely different films. I only learned of it recently. And there are separate IMDB pages for them (links below). I highly recommend checking them out if you're interested in such a thing. It's been a while since I saw the 1999 version, but the DC is a little grittier, film noir, and almost cinema verite. Very different beginning and ending. It actually feels a little more like Mel Gibson's Edge of Darkness, so it's not quite as much of an action film. But it's very absorbing. I think I honestly like both films, but I think the DC has a darker, more real life quality to it.

Enjoyable. Plan to watch the sequels. [/B]
Yes I thought that it was very entertaining, and I read about this event happening in the bible. Believing that this could actually happen isn't hard for me to do, and it wouldn't surprise me if it happened. Other things have actually come to pass that were in the bible, for one, the bible spoke of airplanes long before the Wright Brothers existed. I guess I was actually more surprised, because I thought that the movie would be incredibly cheesy, but it wasn't.

Um, okay. I suppose the earth is also only 6,000 years old? To each his own. I just refuse to support any sort of fundamental Christian propaganda pushing fear tactics.

You may have fed into something that was never stated in the bible friend. This has nothing to do with anything, but I just wanted to lay some facts on you. Also never listen to others about what the bible says. Do the research yourself, or you may become ignorant to what is, and isn't stated therein. The movie was decent, you could view it as science fiction, or whatever. You have after all watched Prometheus right?
This is what the Bible actually says. If you were looking for any point of reference in concerns to it ever stating anything that remotely claims that the Earth was given a date in terms of it's creation. If you don't want to read this, I will simply tell you that you will never find anything in the Bible that states when the Earth began in terms of years.
Genesis Ch 1 1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.(period)
2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
The word "WAS" translates in the Hebrew (haw-yaw) which means "To become" So Versus 2 should be read, And the earth "became void.
If it became Void there had to be something here that was destroyed. This shows that some time passed between versus 1&2 (Could be thousands or millions of years)
Psalms 104 talks about a flood that destroyed the earth and its inhabitants. This could not be Noah’s flood because Noah’s flood took months to recede. In psalms 104:7 God tells the water to recede and it receded immediately. It did not take months.
In Genesis 1:28 God tells Adam to go and replenish the earth. If you are replenish something there had to be something there prior to this.
