Evan Almighty
So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.
This is the verse in the book of Genesis, 6:14 where God instructs Noah to build an ark because a flood is coming...
It started with Evan Baxtor (Steve Carell) got elected to Congress. His congressional campaign declared that he would change the world, but he never stated how. On the night that they moved into the new home, Evan prayed to God for helping him to "Change the World". The following days, strange things start to happen.
God tells him that the flood will come on September 22 mid-day... His wife, Joan (Lauren Graham), and his three sons left him because of his insane explanation...
Weeks after Joan leaves Evan, God appeared in front of her and told her,
"God does not give things, He gives the opportunity to get things".
God does not give courage, He gives the opportunity to become courageous...
God does not give a family togetherness, He gives the opportunity for families to be together...
Seeing his meaning, Joan returns to Evan to finish the ark together with the help of the three sons. September 22 comes with clear skies, and Evan loads the hundreds of animals onto the newly finished ark in front of live news crews and nearby citizens. Minutes pass with clear skies, so spectators start jeering at him. Dark clouds appear and rain starts pouring down. Evan tells everyone to board the ark but no one listens. The rain suddenly stops and everyone starts laughing at Evan.
BUT
Evan thought it couldn't be just that. He suddenly recalled his old colleagues telling him that Congressman Long built a dam over a nearby lake and cut corners to save businesses money. Just then, the poorly built dam bursts and the water flood down the valley... The ark sails down the streets until it eventually stopped in front of the Capitol. He told Congressman Long that the flood was caused by his poorly built dam...
How do we change the world?
God answered, "One Act of Random Kindness at a time..."
ARK
Quite meaningful isn't it?

- The number 614 appears everywhere he goes
- Stone age tools and wood planks are sent to his house
- Animals start following him around
- He grows a beard that won't go away no matter how many times he shaves
- Eight vacant lots in his neighborhood are purchased under his name
