Did you watch the movie, if so and were you as disappointed as I was with it?

@ Kathy and Chris: As a former (rather strongly believing) Catholic I always held that trying to "prove" the (non)existence of a God/god/gods is doomed to failure. I personally believe that there is as much proof (= bugger all) for the existence of a God/god/gods as there is for his/her/its/their nonexistence. In my opinion, proof of existence actually removes an essential element from the religious experience.
In any case, I choose to believe in the causality of nature and the mechanical nature of the universe and, in my opinion, that automatically excludes a deity in the Judeo-Christian tradition. As I said, I have no proof on which to base my decision and I would not want one.
