How we've come a long ways from the days when "When Worlds Collide" gave us a framing device rooted in the point that man will *not* lose his need for God and God's word even in the event of global catastrophe.

Do you know that for sure? I just don't seem to recall that being mentioned. What's more, the eventual home is going to be Africa which, according to the movie, never flooded. Since Christianity is well established in Africa, perhaps it won't be so difficult to re-start it.
