1.2 billion people around the world practice no particular religion and consider themselves atheists, agnostic, or unaffiliated.

The character of Ian Malcolm, played by Jeff Goldblum in the original Jurassic Park and in the sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park, doesn’t have a cameo in Jurassic World, but he does make an appearance. Likewise, the word “man” has been retained where the original text intends to convey a clear contrast between “God” on the one hand and “man” on the other hand, with “man” being used in the collective sense of the whole human race (see Luke 2:52).
