Darwins Dilemma : The Mystery Of The Cambrian Fossil Record (DVD)
$22.49
This powerful, new documentary explores one of the great mysteries in the history of life: the geologically-sudden appearance of dozens of major complex animal types in the fossil record without any trace of the gradual transitional steps Charles Darwin had envisioned 150 years ago.
Frequently described as “the Cambrian Explosion,” the development of these new animal types required a massive increase in genetic information. Growing evidence suggests that the creation of novel genetic information requires intelligence, and thus the burst of genetic information during the Cambrian Explosion provides convincing evidence that animal life is the product of intelligent design rather than a blind undirected process like natural selection.
Darwin’s Dilemma recreates the prehistoric world of the Cambrian era with state-of-the-art computer animation, and the film features interviews with numerous scientists, including leading evolutionary paleontologists Simon Conway Morris of Cambridge University and James Valentine of the University of California at Berkeley, marine biologist Paul Chien of the University of San Francisco, and evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg, a Research Collaborator at the National Museum of Natural History.

Receding Floodwaters : A Flood Geology Series Documentary (DVD)
$28.99Add to cartResearcher and scientists Michael J. Oard uses his knowledge of the Ice Age and Missoula Flood to lay out his case for a Global Flood. He shares how many geologic features on the surface of the earth just can’t be explained through slow and gradual
processes, but rather, one worldwide Flood. These features include water and wind gaps, the continental shelves, submarine canyons, planation surfaces, pediments, and the spread of exotic rocks. His convincing evidence will challenge conventional
thinking, showing how the biblical record makes much more sense of the evidence. -
Metamorphosis (DVD)
$27.99Add to cartThroughout history butterflies have fascinated artists and philosophers, scientists and schoolchildren with their profound mystery and beauty. In METAMORPHOSIS you will explore their remarkable world as few ever have before.
Spectacular photography, computer animation and magnetic resonance imaging open once hidden doors to every stage of a butterfly’s life-cycle. From an egg the size of a pinhead…to a magnificent flying insect. It is a transformation so incredible biologists have called it “butterfly magic.”
The superbly engineered body of a butterfly is magnified hundreds of times to reveal compound eyes made of thousands of individual lenses, wings covered with microscopic solar panels that warm the insect’s muscles for flight, and navigational systems that unerringly guide Monarch butterflies on their annual migration from Canada to Mexico.
How did these extraordinary creatures come into being? Are they the products of a blind, undirected process? Or, were they designed by an intelligence that transcends the material world?
Filmed in the rain forests of Ecuador, Mexico’s Trans-Volcanic mountain range, and leading research centers, METAMORPHOSIS is an unforgettable documentary filled with the joys of discovery and wonder.
