Did life on Earth - with all of its incredible
complexity and diversity - arise from an undirected evolutionary
process, as many scientists have believed since the time of
Charles Darwin?
Or was something else at work?
Until recently, Darwin's theory has gone relatively unchallenged in the
scientific community, and it dominates the propaganda promoted in our schools.
But now, powerful new evidence points to an exciting explanation known as the
theory of intelligent design.
Several men have totally altered the intellectual landscape recently
regarding our understanding of origins: Philip Johnson,1
Michael Behe,2
William
Dempski,3 and Stephen Meyer.4
(Each of them acknowledges their debt to Michael Denton's provocative book,
Evolution: A Theory in Crisis.5
) And these four have now collaborated on a video that is one of the most
impressive efforts that we have had the privilege of reviewing.
Unlocking the Mystery of Life is a fascinating journey into the
interior of a living cell - an elaborate microscopic world with
distinct systems that point dramatically to overwhelming
evidence of intelligent design.
Featuring state-of-the-art computer animation and persuasive insights from
leading scientists, this riveting video examines an idea with the power to
revolutionize our understanding of life to unlock the mystery of its origins.
Unlocking the Mystery of Life is sophisticated, challenging, adult,
and yet ideally suited for the entire family. It is
unquestionably one of the most provocative and professional
products we have seen in this arena.
