Product Description
These four critically acclaimed films are at the heart of a debate that is sweeping the nation. Is Darwinian evolution an accurate scientific explanation of the origin of the universe? Or is the true source of life and the cosmos an intelligent, purposeful designer?
Through computer animation and interviews with leading scientists and scholars, Unlocking the Mystery of Life, Icons of Evolution, The Privileged Planet and * Where Does the Evidence Lead answer these questions as never before.
* Where Does the Evidence Lead contains the same program material as Unlocking the Mystery of Life divided into six, easy-to-understand, 10-minute teaching segments.

The Privileged Planet : Unlocking the Mystery of Life 4-DVD Set Reviews
| 293 of 351 people found the following review helpful  Factual, careful, artful exposition of intelligent design, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Unlocking the Mystery of Life (DVD) Having followed the intelligent design movement since its inception, most of the material in this video was not new to me. However, the depictions are apt and really awe-inspiring--especially those in the last one third of the video. When you see a computer simulation of specified complexity at the molecular level, it sticks in your consciousness. Sheer dumb luck could not have done this.I have seen this presentation three times. Each time I am impressed with the comments of the experts and the care in which the challenging material is presented. The subject is approached in a calm and scientific manner. The audio clips are long enough to explain tough concepts. Especially telling is the interview with Dr. Dean Kenyon, a pretigious scientist and author who eventually gave up on chance and necessity as the parents of human life--and this after defending it in a well-received volume called "Biochemical Predestination." He marvels at the nature of life and argues that a...

It makes a compelling case for intelligent design. The "outboard motor" design in the bacterial cell itself makes the point; the DNA replication is absolutely awe-inspiring. The argument of recognizable patterns (with low probability of such patterns occurring by chance) is simple but forceful and consistent with human logic. 2. The production and computer animation are top-notch. 3. It is understandable to the average person, yet challenging to the intellectual. This DVD has many potential uses: -provoking the natural evolutionist to consider other options -opening minds that are stuck in 1970's thinking -as an apologetic to friends considering the existence of an Intelligent Designer -as an educational tool to discover the wonders of DNA and even simple life The DVD lasts about 65 minutes and can easily be divided into shorter segments to view it as...

Along the way we have Dr. Dean Kenyon who in the 1960's had written the definitive work on the chemical version of evolution, that has been widely used in colleges and graduate schools. Kenyon's textbook was "Biochemical Predestination". Given the scientific discoveries in molecular biology and genetics of the last twenty years, Dr. Dean Kenyon and other scientists in this video (Stephen Meyer, Michael Behe, Jonathan Wells, Scott Minnich, Paul Nelson, and William Dembski) have completely discarded Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Two examples of Darwin Theory's failure given in the video are the thousands of different complex molecular machines that interrelate in the cell's manufacturing... Read more |
