Accept it for what it is, a super hero movie. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen it already. And religion has never crossed my mind. Not once.<br /><br />Secondly, we don't even know if Faora believed what she was saying about evolution.

However, the obvious connection between them didn't become apparent until I started reading similar blog entries days later.
