Bless my friend Sarah for introducing me to the DVD that finally answered my questions about evolution! How I wish I’d had this sure knowledge when my children were growing up so I could have passed on fi
rmness of conviction, instead of a hazy uncertainty on the important subject of “where did we come from?”.
In my heart, I know that we have a loving Father in Heaven, and that our earth life is a carefully orchestrated test of our character. But I went to public school myself, and my science classes were 100% pro-evolution. We learned Darwin’s theory as scientific fact and regurgitated this info for tests, and followed the latest discoveries in the missing link of monkey to man. College only increased my confusion, because my science classes were teaching evolution as total fact, while my testimony of Jesus Christ was blazing bright.
So I had to leave the question of evolution unresolved, unfortunately. Very unfortunately, because that uncertainty cannot be hidden from homeschooling children, who watch your every innuendo and know your heart. I avoided teaching them about dinosaurs, still uneasy with the idea of a primeval word where man was being mutated, ever so gradually through natural selection, from an animal into a human. I believed the scriptural account of creation and I knew I couldn’t answer my children’s questions about dinosaurs and man’s orgin on this earth with conviction in the face of Darwin’s theory. I feared damaging their delicate faith.
I am so very grateful to finally have the evolution theory completely put to rest in my heart. Thanks to the advances of molecular biology, and the ability to create amazingly powerful microscopes, scientists can now see into the cell and have discovered what we should have known all along: that Darwin’s theory is too simplistic, too flawed to pose any threat to the belief in an Intelligent Being, a God who orchestrated all creation in intense intricacy, even down to the molecular level!
Do yourself a favor and remove from your heart the public school teachings which question faith in God via the theory of evolution. This DVD is scientifically accurate, well-presented, interesting to watch, and amazingly freeing . . . if you have been a captive to doubt. Watch it with your husband on date night, let your college-age kids or friends watch it, show your school-age kids little segments to help them understand bit by bit. It is faith-building and thrilling to see through scientific discovery that we are God’s design, right down to the very smallest unit of life!

I'd sure love to hear your comment!
Hi Diane,
I have enjoyed purchasing from you for many years!
I just wanted to make a comment on what johnston5in5 said that “we can’t ignore that it was millions of years between dinosaurs and humans.” I have to disagree because there is NO evidence of millions of years. There is only the data. We see fossils, we see layers in rocks, but they come with no “explanations.” People make those up based on their world view. The only reason Darwin, Lyell and others believed in long ages is because they began with a worldview that there was no God. They chose an explanation that would fit with their choice to ignore a creator God. If our world view includes the God of the Bible, then we should base it on His word since He was there when it was created, not on the word of mere men who were NOT there.
The days of creation are 24 hour literal days and God tells us so very clearly so there will be no mistake about it. At the end of each day, He says “and there was evening and morning, the first (second, third, etc) day. Why would He say “evening and morning” to designate each day if He didn’t want us to know they were actual literal days? Also, if the days were meant to be long ages (ie: millions of years), then how did the plants survive for thousands or millions of years without sunlight since they were made on day 3 but the sun (moon and stars) didn’t appear until the next “day?” Since the Genesis account is written in a genre or style of straightforward “history” why do people try to make certain passages figurative? Just to suit their own world view.
Creation can NOT go hand in hand with evolution for many reasons, one of which is that the Bible says that before the fall (ie: Adam and Eve’s sin) there was NO death. But evolution DEPENDS on death to bring about all the millions of supposed changes (none of which has EVER been observed.) So either the Word of God is true, or the word of men is true. I’ll go with the Word of God!

The argument that evolution could not have created intricate or complex structures is flawed. Plenty of studies are done even today that show that complex structures can be created via mutations. I don’t understand why people are so threatened by the idea of evolution. The origin of our body in no way diminishes our relationship as children to God. He is the Father of our spirits. I, personally, am no less amazed by a God who would set in order his creations to eventually result in an earthly tabernacle suitable to house the spirits of his children, rather than just fashioning something out of dirt when the time came (or whatever other non-evolutionary theory you choose).
A book I really enjoyed is called “Finding Darwin’s God,” — it looks at the different arguments against evolution from a creationist perspective, and shows how a belief in God does not have to mean a rejection of the theories of evolution.
The DVD does not teach anything about the age of the earth. The whole focus is on the discoveries made via advanced microscope regarding the cell, and the informational instructional contained in DNA that build advanced, complex structures even in one-celled creatures. These are the works of Intelligent Design, and they discuss the methods that scientists use to determine what is designed by an Intelligent Being and what could be randomly created by natural selection.
Because these structures and the instructions are so complex, they cannot be created by an accidental process of natural selection–and they present the reasons why.
Anyway, the DVD is intriguing, scientific and really brings to light newly discovered information that has been published in scientific journals that the public is not very aware of perhaps, that has caused a lot of stir amongst scientists and many are re-thinking evolution, and feeling deceived by the higher education institutions that they received degrees from–that taught evolution as fact, when it is really becoming an outdated theory, in light of new discoveries.
An amazing DVD! I think you will really enjoy it!
I am Christian and I believe God created us but that the 7 days in the Bible is representative of the long time it took just like many other numbers in the Bible. What does the DVD teach? It is clear in science that there is a God but we can't ignore that it was millions of years between dinosaurs and humans and that they did exist. Only a wonderful God could create the Earth as it is and creation can go hand in hand with evolution.
