For a stunning display of the concept of chaos theory, I recommend this movie for adults.

Its a bit anti-Christianity, but big on the long-term consequences of sin and self-sacrificial love.

Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."

I read a bit about the butterfly effect, and I like the idea that we effect eternity by our choices. I didn't go see the movie as I was told it was pretty violent. The other thing I heard is that it wasn't a true resemblance to the chaos theory or Butterfly Effect. I found the whole premise of the Butterfly theory fascinating. I know it's just that though - a theory. The theory is that the flap of a butterfly wing on one continent can cause a hurricane on another continent months later - right?

I wrote about this movie just after it came out. The thread was called "Chaos Theory".
