Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when Evan and God are talking under a tree in a field, God is holding a wooden staff. As the camera cuts back and forth between Evan and God, God's hand changes position from holding the top of the staff like a cane to holding the staff further down like a walking stick.

Evan Baxter: Do I know you?
God: Not as much as I'd like.
Trivia: The scene where God appears in the backseat of Evan's car and they are both visible in the rear view mirror, is reminiscent of the movie poster for "Driving Miss Daisy", also starring Morgan Freeman, where Freeman and Jessica Tandy were both visible in the rear view mirror.
Question: How come not a single person saw that Evan managed to "change his clothes" instantly? There were people sat behind him looking straight at him. Wouldn't they see him in his suit one second, blink and then see him in the robes? They all laughed and thought he was crazy but surely they all saw him come in wearing the suit and it's not like you could miss someone getting changed.

Answer: God wanted to see what he wanted them to see, to believe in something you can't believe requires faith.
