The one-note song of evolution has dominated the origins scene so long that evolutionists no longer think they have to answer tough questions that challenge the theory. These fine videos asked logical, probing questions that need to be addressed, not simply dismissed. When we could have a symphony of ideas being discussed and debated, why do we continue to settle for the monotony of the "Our way or the highway" attitude of so many evolutionists? Science should be about challenge, discovery and growth, not stagnation and intellectual bigotry.

I am an educator with a Masters in Education as is my wife. We found these riveting. We have watched them over and over and shared them with a number of others. I cannot remember my favorite lines and our set is currently loaned out, but suffice it to say that we highly recommend these.

If you know nothing about Intelligent Design these are a great starting point. We have found that too many people have discounted this movement and lumped it into the Creationist camp without doing their homework.

This is not a Creationist viewpoint, but it certainly points out that evolution as a theory is archaic (remember that a naturalist with little experience postulated the theory 150 years ago. The theory has always been embroiled in controversey and as we have deepened our knowledge evolution has had to be modified so that now it is an idea with many defectors and factions.

ID asks questions which are cogent and salient even if the demagogues of evolution find them provocative. Anyone who refuses to look at the challenges to there positon or beliefs must question the truth of them.

We found the series very enjoyable and think you will as well.

Stevie Wonder said it best...(" Nothin' from Nothin'... leaves.... Nothin" ).
You don't have to like the word GOD, to know there is one.
Watch and learn...watch and learn!.

The Privileged Planet and Unlocking the Mystery of Life are both very well produced, like something you'd see on NOVA (if they weren't so much in the tank for evolution). Everything shown is science and undebateable facts. The testimonies from top scientists are powerful, especially given that many of them are not creationists. The graphics and animation are extremely well done and invaluable. These DVDs are included with certain textbooks for classroom use but are probably not easily understood by children. However, high school students would have an easier time grasping some of the heavier science concepts which are presented. Previous knowledge of biology and statistics is helpful. These are not religious productions in any way. They are documentaries and present science and data with interviews from the scientists who did the work put together in a story-type fashion.

These DVD's are an "I" opening reality.
The more you watch them, the more the truth of the beginning of time is revealed to you.

It's funny how people try to deny the facts of how the universe was "created." In spite of all the evidence that scientists has to point to a creator.

For anyone who has the intelligence to look out at our world and see its beautiful design and say, "This can't be accidental", these DVDs will confirm your beliefs with real Scientific evidence. For those who say Science and God are mutually exclusive, I say view these videos, then think again.

This DVD set is a must in anyones library for its amazing photography and scientific information. Children as well as adults will find these DVD's informative, entertaining and mind blowing when you are confronted with the beautiful and intricate wonders of life on this planet!
Education has always claimed evolution to be factual and yet evidence is all around us that life on earth could not have happened by chance no matter how great the mathematical probabilities are! Its simply absurd and illogical to presume that life in its complexity and diversity along with interactivity between all life forms could happen by chance.
The DVD's theme of creatorship is without a doubt the correct conclusion to come to when you consider the design aspects of all living things on Earth and in the Universe.
For those who would like to see something that supports Creatorship no matter what religious faith you adhere to will find this material faith strengthening.
Both DVD's are extremely well presented and the narration with John Rhys Davies, an actor of great talent, with a voice that emits strength of character should appeal to all sorts of individuals all over the world.
It is definitely a must have for families and those who simply enjoy our beautiful planet, Earth.

Full of information, nice graphic animations and scientific viewpoints. Darwin is a bust. Intelligent design is for people who want an open and truthful look at what are planet our ourselves are about. We purchased the two DVD set. I watch them on flights regularly. I am glad someone has taken the time to document the amazing stories about the detailed designs of our bodies and the cosmos.

If you want to look at the universe through the eyes of the scientist and yet see it in a very understandable presentation, this is it. The universe is shown in all its complexity and yet in simplicity. You can decide on the facts. You can go in the second DVD to this most microscopic parts of the world of living things. The complexities are presented in an understandable way. You will marvel at the structure of life. You will not regret the purchase of these DVD's.

The two DVD's are a must see for anyone questioning why are we here!
It did not happen by chance.
Intelligent design, a creator? see for yourself
