DVD Reviews of Icons Of Evolution
DVD Review: Good information and approach
Summary: 5 Stars
This presentation was very helpful. It did not present religion vs evolution, but scientific doubts of the evolution theory. When the basic ideas behind evolution are challenged by science, it is seen as a very weak explanation with many flaws. I especially appreciated the "Bonus DVD features" which summarized the points. It is listed as "10 questions to ask your biology teacher." This DVD was one of the best I have seen. DVD Review: The icons (i.e. inaccuracies) my biology classes never explained, but should have...
Summary: 5 Stars
Similar to the book (Icons of Evolution: Science or Myth? Why Much of What We Teach About Evolution is Wrong), but shorter and less detailed, with beautiful computer generated animations, interviews with scientists, and more. The Haeckel's embryos discussion in itself is worth watching this video!
The video encourages investigation, thought, and scientific analysis of the theory of Darwinian (blind) evolution, and looks at few popular icons of evolution that are taught in public schools without any critical examination: Haeckel's Embryos, Darwin's Finches, 4-Winged Fruit Fly, and Bacterial Resistance to drugs. It also discusses the issue of homology and the Cambrian Explosion that is a puzzle for Darwinian Evolution. The video also deals with the issue of suppressing free inquiry in the scientific establishment and the intense intolerance towards professors who might even mention challenging the dogma of Darwinian Evolution. It is a shame, as in science we ought to follow the truth and the facts, no matter our own assumptions.
Besides the book with the same title, you may like to consider the following resources to further explore this topic: Unlocking The Mystery Of Life, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, The Design Revolution: Answering The Toughest Questions About Intelligent Design, Intelligent Design: William A. Dembski & Michael Ruse in Dialogue.
DVD Review: very educational
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very informative and eduational book. It is presented from a science perspective and have some very important information about problems with explainations in science.DVD Review: Worthwhile video for any youth group, Christian or non-Christian
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a shame that anti-Christian sentiment has become so pervasive that even legitimate scientific inquiry is suppressed when one objects to Darwin. The evidence is mounting that Darwinian evolution, in and of itself, is insufficient to explain our current observations about our origins. The hysteria surrounding the topic of the separation of church and state risks creating a repressive environment where disagreement with Darwinism is perceived incorrectly as coming only from Christians who are attempting to put forth a religious agenda. These questions are also being raised by non-Christian scientists, but our youth are not being allowed to hear the truth due to this conflict in the schools. In fact, the current defense of Darwinism is beginning to rival emperor worship in terms of our inability to speak against or question something that might just be wrong.
This video puts forth the true story of a battle in one high school where a science teacher was censored from presenting even non-Christian scientific articles from mainstream journals in an attempt to bring critical thinking into the classroom. This is a worthwhile video for any youth group, Christian or non-Christian where the topics facing 21st century scientists and science students need to be examined critically.
DVD Review: Evidence against evolution but for Creation
Summary: 1 Stars
Gods word hasn't changed but evolution theories continue to evolve as presuppositions about the origin of life baffles those who do not want God in their lives. The fool says in his heart there is no God.
Description of Icons Of Evolution
Are students learning the whole truth about Darwin's theory of evolution?According to a growing number of scientists, the suprising answer is no. They claim that many of the most famous "Icons of Evolution"-including Darwin's "Tree of Life," finches from the Galapagos Islands, and embryos that look remarkably similar-are based on outdated research and sloppy logic. They say students are being hurt by the failure to present both sides of an emerging scientific debate over Darwin's theory.
Come explore this fascinating new conflict over evolution in the classroom-a conflict based on science, not religion. Learn about the controversy that engulfs one town when a teacher actually tries to tell students that some scientists disagree with Darwin.
From the Galapagos Islands to China, Icons of Evolution will take you on a fast-paced, fascinating journey into one of the most contoversial issues in today's public arena.
