5/10
Preachy anti-preachy episode.

Warning: Spoilers
Once again Seth makes a preachy anti-faith episode. It's odd that he likes to preach about his lack of belief in anything.

Science does not rule out creation, just like creation does not rule out science. It's narrow minded people on both sides that cause problems. The episode was entertaining enough, but ironically, the authors preaching about science makes It less enjoyable. A fundamental rule of science is realizing that you don't know everything.

A little more effort in the mistakes the characters make would also help this, as well as several other episodes. They make it like the crew are complete morons when they meet an alien culture. Kelly was going to stay hidden, but seconds later she almost kills a child, and then seconds after that a whole community sees her use advanced technology. Really? I wish writers wouldn't assume the audience is stupid.
