Unlocking the Mystery of Life A convincing and accurate documentary that you will be proud to share with even your most scientifically critical-minded, secular friends |

In 1859, Charles Darwin published, On the Origin of Species . In it, he argued that all of life on earth was the product of undirected natural processes. Time, chance, and natural selection. Since Darwin, biologists have relied on such processes to account for the origin of living things. Yet today, this approach is being challenged as never before.
Here's what people are saying about "Unlocking the Mystery of Life"... "The science is solid and the computer animations are superb. Unlocking is a great film." "Outstanding computer animations. Some of the best Ive ever seen. I am a cell biologist and I want to congratulate you." "Its as good as anything Ive seen on NOVA. The program is a delightful presentation that will be of interest to scientists and laymen alike." "Extremely thought provoking (and a lot of fun to watch). Unlocking the Mystery of Life highlights the big questions about the origin of life here on earth." "This video does an excellent job of presenting some of the hot issues in modern biophysics. In recent years we have begun to really understand how the machinery of the cell works and no physicist who has studied this field can avoid a sense of amazement at the delicately balanced designs." "It is tremendous! I really enjoyed it." "Unlocking the Mystery of Life is a fascinating documentary. Visually stunning. Everything about it was just top notch." "Excellent - Brilliant Irrefutable Evidence ...It is an extraordinary production, highly recommended by MOVIEGUIDE." |

"Factual, careful, artful exposition of intelligent design. Having followed the intelligent design movement since its inception, most of the material in this video was not new to me. However, the depictions are apt and really awe-inspiring--especially those in the last one third of the video. When you see a computer simulation of specified complexity at the molecular level, it sticks in your consciousness. Sheer dumb luck could not have done this. I have seen this presentation three times. Each time I am impressed with the comments of the experts and the care in which the challenging material is presented. The subject is approached in a calm and scientific manner. The audio clips are long enough to explain tough concepts. Especially telling is the interview with Dr. Dean Kenyon, a prestigious scientist and author who eventually gave up on chance and necessity as the parents of human life--and this after defending it in a well-received volume called "Biochemical Predestination." He marvels at the nature of life and argues that a mindless universe could not have generated it." |
