Unlocking the Mystery of Life (2003)

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Best movie ever!

Beautiful, moving film.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Very well presented argument for Intelligent Design. Educational as well. The narration is good, the graphics and commentary are all put together well and presented without preaching. Simply presents information wrapped in an conception of an idea of how things could be. Personally I think that more could have been added to make it into a series using several break down, backward engineering, irreducible complexity examples each on a case by case basis using different biological systems such as the eye, the cell, specific mammal species, plants and other systems that are symbiotic with one another. Perhaps that is for another time or will be presented another way. Was satisfied with the information given but also left me wanting to know more...did some follow up research to confirm the facts so have found a box set of similar presentations through Illustra Media. Worth a look. I've ordered and have watch several times all three of the DVDs. Highly recommended.

this looked AMAZING... I was watching this in the hopes of getting a good grasp on protein synthesis and DNA/RNA replication... I was watching it with intrigue (just skipping through to animations and explanations).... I got to thinking THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED.... and then POW!!!!! it tries to say that the only logical explanation for DNA to exist is intelligent design... no wonder I've never heard of any of the scientists in this film... complete tripe.BASICALLY this film says "since we can't figure out a scientific and empirically devised reason for life's origin, it must have been Intelligent Design" -my words.... preposterous!! you can't explain something logically... so you decided to explain it with complete lack of logic... it's in effect the lazy mans way of explaining something.COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY UNSCIENTIFIC, but hey, some neat animations...

I truly enjoyed and appreciated this DVD. It answered so many questions I had regarding "evolution". I have to say that it is difficult to argue their "facts" as 21st century technology has been able to uncover DNA and cell structure. This is something Darwin couldn't even conceive. At the time Darwin thought a single cell was the center of life, but we have come far. I suggest you take a look at this film if you have any questions about evolution or natural selection. I recommend you see this film if you don't have any questions, you will when you're done watching. It's truly a eye and mind opener. For the record, religion and God are never mentioned.

Excellent source of information for the theory of intelligent design (ID). The video provides clear and easy to understand arguments for ID and points out the gaps in evolutionary theory that cannot account for the origin-of-life on earth. The video includes interviews with leading scientists and scholars from various fields of expertise. The video also provides some historical information about Charles Darwin and his journey on the HMS Beagle. It is packed with beautiful scenes of wildlife that make it entertaining as well as educational. The bonus features include a question and answer section, library references, web links, and biographical sketches about each scientist/scholar. This is a must have for all of those who are interested the origin-of-life argument and those that declare to follow the evidence wherever it leads. I would strongly recommend this for all adults and students at the high school level and above.
