So shouldn't the alien ship land in some muslium terrorists area and say live in peace or be destroyed? Why do this remake unless your trying to make some political message for the upcoming election in 2008?

I can see it now Alien lands on earth and Republican President sends his anti-terrorists agents to try and capture him. Democrats help Alien so he can spread his message of peace and warn us to get out of Iraq or else it's "DOOMS DAY". Religious Right realize there is no God and march to the Capitol and demand we get out of Iraq. Movie ends with Bin Laden leaving with K. Reeves in space ship to meet Ala.

Well, this remake looks like it's about a Hollywood political message so I voiced my opinion of their tactics.

Where does it say this movie has a Hollywood political message? Have you seen the original, because the description of this one seems to have pretty much the same tone.

The timing. Just like when Micheal Moore put out F. 9/11 during the last Presidential Election and Americans knew why he did that. And it backfired since all that did was help fuel anger towards Hollywood and votes for Bush.

Well, this one isn't going to be released until after the elections (Dec 12), so there goes that theory. Why does everything have to have some underhanded political agenda attached to it? Comparing this to F9/11 is completely ridiculous.

Should we hate the father for taking away our freedom because of the bad people out there that can cause us harm.

You've taken away choice and the ability to come to a person's own conclusion.

Sorry, but you gave the example of Adam and Eve. As you said, "There is no in the middle like oh some of it might be true."

No proof on everything in the Bible.
You do know they are still looking for the "missing link" to prove evolution.
