About this episode

The episode discusses the consequences of playing God, drawing parallels between biblical stories and the Jurassic Park franchise.

Playing God always invites ruin. From Adam and Eve to our own lives, we repeat the same foolish cycle: trusting our wisdom over the Lords. We see this lesson repeat itself in every iteration of the hit franchise, Jurassic Park. Join us as we continue our series, “At the Movies."
