Evan Almighty is amusing in spots, but often cheesy, preachy, and predictable. But it does have one of the best put-downs of liberal theology I’ve seen anywhere. On God’s instructions, Evan Baxter has built a gigantic ark in the empty lots near his new DC-area home, endured the ridicule of the world and the skepticism of his family. The day of the flood comes, and it rains for a few moments and then clears. Evan’s wife suggests that Evan may have misinterpreted the message: “Maybe he didn’t mean a real flood. Maybe he meant a flood of insight, or emotion, or illumination.
Evan responds: “If that’s true, I am going to be sooo pissed.”
