But ultimately without God. And when you note how this film goes out of its way to express as its underlying message that the world in the wake of this disaster needs to discard all aspects of specifically the *Christian* religion, the offensive aspect of this film to those like me who take such things seriously is impossible to disregard.

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.
