While I thought the scene was a bit forced (the pastor just walks into a mobster's room and starts a creationist debate?), it was exceptionally well-played. Tony's forbearance was intriguing -- he doesn't buy that stuff, does he? Michael's reasoning that Adam & Eve couldn't coexist with a T Rex is brilliant. I think Hesh had the best line, though -- when his wife says that stuff about being friends to the Jews, he says, "You wait." Chilling and true and scary and spot on.
