great visuals but the music is too loud and ruins it
glennhinton27 April 2020
It is all good except the music. It is too loud and distracting, rather than complimentary. It's rare to have the sound track ruin a nature film.

A good documentary totally spoiled by the religious nonsense
Chris_in_Makati2 February 2021
This could have been an excellent nature documentary if only the good doctor could have stuck to the topic instead of hijacking it with his religious views.

Worst concept and total waste of time
entertainmentmalayalam29 January 2021
This is like going for a bible convention. The documentary about god and his creation really?. This is not a documentary .I did not intend to be preached at by a fundamentalist slick proponent of Biblical Creation. The photography was good and coverage of various animals was well done. It was not enjoyable having to grit my teeth listening to this guy explain" how God designed all the bird wings and lizard scales". Something in the description of this movie should have given a warning about its religious emphasis which is antithetical to many people who have a religious faith that doesn't preach literal belief of the movie maker's choosing. This is bad

They are doing DOCUMENTARIES about creation now???
valipod29 January 2021
For God's sake (pun intended), they are doing DOCUMENTARIES about creation now. This is insane. A documentary is something based on facts, people. Facts, like evolution. And no, that's not a theory anymore.

Masters in Natural Science from Cambridge and I liked it.

Having studied biological sciences and History and Philosophy of Science at Christ's College, Cambridge, I can assure you that it is not a sign of intelligence to complain about the narration of this documentary. Evolution is a theory which you cause to build hypotheses. But a trained scientist knows that scientific theories are never proven. They are simply not yet disproven. The same goes for belief in God. It can is not yet disproven. To understand this better go check out David Hume and the Black Swan problem. That said now to this film:

It is a documentary made by someone who believes that the Bible is a source of data on the origins of the universe and on our experience of life and goes out to look at the natural world with that mindset.

Charles Darwin, who studied at my college, Christs some 150 years before me, went out to look at the world and lost his faith in God as a creator when he saw the suffering of the natives of Patagonia. Indeed, so miserable was their condition in his eyes that he developed his favoured races concept which led more or less directly via the eugenics movement to the genocide of the Second World War.

How different could world history have been, if Charles Darwin, had really understand the point that Gordon Wilson keeps trying to make. Wilson like all scripture-rooted Christians believes that the world is in a fallen state. So to see shivering miserable natives in Patagonia, does not imply that mankind are higher apes, as one of Darwin's colleagues tried to point out to him.

Biological research that is framed by the theory of evolution will find endless evidence and it is a convincing paradigm. The problem is that it does not leave room for joy, awe or wonder because ultimately, atheistic evolutionary theory tells us that we are the meaningless product of chance mutations. If my existence is due to the reproductive success of my genes, then there is no moral or philosophical reason why I should idealise Ghengis Khan and spend my life killing, looting and raping.

Gordon Wilson offers us a better frame for raising a positive, hopeful next generation.

As for the film-making. It is superbly shot and edited. Poetically written. The music is entertaining and imaginative while this one is great, Episode 2 only gets better.

Top notch!
stephan-1695316 September 2021
The quality of this movie is great. It's about time we have a documentary from a creationist perspective and judging by the other reviews it absolutely ruffles the atheist's feathers, which is a good rule of thumb to knowing when you've struck gold. If their theory were so bullet proof stuff like this shouldn't bother them.

A Nature Documentary Minus Darwinian False Religion
chriscolbert-5599315 July 2022
All humans live by faith of necessity. No one can put one foot in front of another in the AM to do ANYTHING without a web of assumptions about the areas of human experience, the questions that comprise a worldview, what is REAL, how do I know what is TRUE, and what is GOOD and BEAUTIFUL. The metaphysical naturalist, clutching his flimsy Darwinian creation myth, tries to pretend his worldview is not a faith commitment. Nature docs have been dominated and tainted by this Darwinian paradigm. They insist it's good Science with zero good evidence and in the face of endless devastating fact-based refutations, and then scoff and hurl personal attacks. This wonderful doc starts with the only defensible presupposition - that the God of Scripture is the Creator of all things and the necessary precondition for our experience and comprehension of them. If you want a vastly interesting, perfectly soundtracked and ultra well shot nature doc that rightly sees all nature and reality through the correct lens - the Word of God - rather than foolish modernist Darwin propaganda - check this excellent flic out, and bring your friends and family too.
