Really Surprised!

I'll tell you why so serious

Awesome Movie

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

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.

As a genuine student of science and a high school teacher, I feel that this video is not only an abomination for even being considered to be listed in the same category as a science text - but it is also the sort of dangerous propaganda that resulted in the Scopes trial and the recent Dover, Pa. case. Nonsense like "Unlocking the Mystery of Life" is intolerable in the face of efforts to educate young people towards historical let alone scientific progress.The mis-representation of Darwin is laughable; the selection of easily-debunked theories are not only able to be countered by anyone with access to online documents on his work but also the weight of millions of texts in the sciences. Fossils, fossils, fossils! Probably the only possible use (beyond a coaster for a glass!) this glossy smarm has is to be shown as a teaching tool in legal studies classes as misrepresentation of facts! Behe was quite effectively shown as completely wrong in the documentary "The Root of All Evil" and I'd suggest that as a better text for people studying the claims of intelligent design rather than spend a cent on this product.Intelligent design is narrow-minded religious indoctrination in new packaging. It was rightfully thrown out by the government of the USA and when Illustra Media insultingly produces inaccurate trash like this "pseudo-documentary" (akin to the hilariously illogical and New Age UFO cult-produced "What the Bleep..."), they are promoting poor standards of critical thinking and potentially making a child's understanding of science a laughing-stock when they attend classes in any state.Do your sons and daughter's future a favor - encourage accurate and investigative attitudes towards the real world by showing them ACTUAL science documentaries like Sagan's "Cosmos", "Walking with Dinosaurs", "The Living Planet" and other series by David Attenborough - leave religious belief for the religious education forums, whatever you may choose that to involve.Certainly adults have NO right to mis-educate the next generation by touting this absurd farce of pseudo-science in the science classroom, as aptly demonstrated by the Snopes and Dover trials. A voice of opposition was _indeed_ heard in those cases and rightfully shot down as unconstitutional. Let this stance for justice be maintained by refusing "Unlocking the Mystery of Life" any of your precious viewing time.My only regret is that I cannot give this polished piece of excretion zero stars, as I would if I could.

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.
