What does a space movie about a rock alien have to do with abortion, AI, and the image of God?

In this episode, Abigail breaks down the worldview of Project Hail Mary — and the broader cultural pattern it represents. From aliens to robots to AI companions, our movies are quietly redefining what it means to be human — and it's not neutral storytelling. It's a theological claim with the theology removed.

Abigail explores why the recurring narrative of non-human things receiving human value isn't just a cinematic trend, but a cultural shift with real consequences — for how we define personhood, how we treat the vulnerable, and how we understand what it means to be made in the image of God. From G.K. Chesterton's warning about animal worship and child sacrifice, to Romans 1:25, to Genesis 1:26–28, this episode gives you the framework to watch media with your eyes open.

"Because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator." — Romans 1:25 (ESV)
