    Science vs. Spirituality (and more)... very powerful and entertaining.

    A great line: "Throughout history, every mystery ever solved has turned out to be... Not Magic."

    I thought about that... but I assume it would offend some people and end up here within a few hours. Maybe it would have been worth the risk.

    Must've watched it 8 or 9 times as well - which is about as long as a feature-length film.

    Thankfully, I don't know anyone personally that is as much a religious nutjob as the chick in the short.

    I don't think the chick in the short was written as religious per say, although I certainly know religious folks like that.

    She represents irrational thinking, both in terms of religion and alternative thinking.

    I consider myself pretty rational but there's always a place for irrationality. It often leads to ill-advised and un-calculated risk taking, which may lead to scientific revelations, if only one in a million.

    And yes, I know a few religious people like the girl.

    Yes, but I did not get an overly religious jive from the video, that's all.

    I'm sure they didn't make it too obvious just so they don't garner too much controversy. I see your point though, she just seems like a run-of-the-mill hippie.
