TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Jana Anderson 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.

janice2112 This is film really like a great documentary, except instead of having all that really hard to learn science and stuff. All you really have to do is believe. Just believe, and like Tinkerbell coming back to life, Bible stories AKA Creationism AKA Creation Science now renamed ID (Intelligent Design) can live again! But what I really liked best was finding out that I am made up of millions of tiny little machines called cells, I'm just like Lt. Commander Data!But seriously, this film is one big propaganda piece. Ten years ago the ID community was bashing scientists over the head with irreducible complexity. When Evolutionary Scientists didn't have a ready answer and took the time necessary to actually investigate ID's claims, the ID community started to shout that they had 'finally beaten Darwin' and that 'God is in the Details', this is when the nonsense really got under way. Church groups set up museums with paintings showing Biblical era men riding dinosaurs implying not only that dinosaurs are only recently extinct but that any theory showing the Earth is more than a few thousand years old is open to debate and is a matter of opinion not just science. Serious sounding articles were published explaining how Noah had put dinosaur eggs on the his Ark instead of grown Dinosaurs to save room, but that most of the eggs went bad during the flood as an explanation as to why Dinosaurs are extinct.Both of the above examples show why ID cannot be allowed in the classroom and shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone. ID, because of its use of a supernatural agency to explain any unknown part of a theory, any ID theory is unfalsifiable, untestable and completely useless in a scientific setting. Come forward eight years from when this film was made... Science has investigated the claims of ID and found them seriously wanting. The claims of ID aren't falsifiable and as such are a unverifiable belief, no reputable biologist gives ID any credence.The court (Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District) ruled that ID is Creation Science repackaged and that as such ID is a matter of faith not science and cannot be allowed in the classroom.Religious Universities are the only place that ID based biology class work is accepted.The main point of this film is to try to make inference analogous to deduction, basically like this; Cells are like tiny machines, machines are designed by an intelligence, cells must have been designed by someone with intelligence. Then they assure you that they are not talking about God as a designer because that wouldn't be scientific (wink, wink) but that a cell didn't design itself and nobody knows who did it. Honestly, I saw reasoning as well thought out a Monty Python movie; A witch won't sink in water so she must be floating, a duck doesn't sink in water because they float, so if someone weighs the same as a duck they're a witch.

KJ Moodie Nothing in this video is scientifically valid in the slightest, which is why none of the proponents of 'Intelligent Design' have ever had an article published in a peer-reviewed journal on the subject. ID just doesn't stand up to close scientific scrutiny. Much of what is said by people like Behe in this video had already been thoroughly refuted by science long before this video was made. The reason you will never hear about any of this from ID proponents is because they don't follow the progress of science. When confronted with dozens of papers that refute his work at the Dover Trial (where ID was shot down)Michael Behe admitted that he'd never seen any of it and had to adjourn the court so he could read them. They defend ID as religiously as they defended creationism back in the 80's. It's just simply pseudo-scientific garbage. This 'movie' is absolute trash.

youngdebraa 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.
