Film critic Mark Bubien joins Bob for a review of Jurassic World, exploring some of the important themes such as the arrogance of science and the question the original novel’s author Michael Crichton raised: Just because we are able to create something, does this mean it is something we should create? That question is examined not only within the fictional accomplishment of breeding dinosaurs, but also within current scientific projects such as cloning and artificial intelligence. God is brought into the discussion through the Tower of Babel story in which God expressed concern that nothing would be impossible for humans. Perhaps that was His original intention inasmuch as we are made in His own image. But unlimited power alongside a fallen sin nature, a nature robbing us of the wisdom that should temper our knowledge, that is another matter altogether.

Capturing child-like wonder is another theme.
