Product Description:
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. 'Unlocking the Mystery of Life' is the story of top-notch, contemporary scientists who are advancing a powerful idea -- 'the theory of intelligent design.' Using state-of-the-art computer animation, 'Unlocking the Mystery of Life' transports you into the interior of the living cell to explore systems and machines that bear the unmistakable hallmarks of design. Discover the intricacy of a microscopic bacterial rotary motor, which spins at 100,000 rpm. Within the nucleus explore the wonder of DNA, a thread-like molecule that stores instructions to build the essential components of every living organism. It is part of a biological information processing system more complex and more powerful than any computer network. This compelling documentary examines an idea with the power to revolutionize our understanding of life... and to unlock the mystery of its origin.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Origins of life explored in a fair and carefully reasoned fashion
It tells the story of the birth of the modern Intelligent Design movement, making a strong case against Darwinian unguided evolution, featuring people like Dr. Dean Kenyon (evolutionary biologist and prestigious scientist), Dr. Michael Behe (biochemist), Dr. Paul Nelson, and many others.
The video starts with a very good overview of the history of Darwin's work, his visit to the Galapagos Islands, his development of his theory in 1895, and the publishing of his "Origins of Species". ... Read More
Rating: - Case closed
A great production...well worth the money/time.It just proves that there is no way life could have evolved on its on.Creation is the only answer as to how life came about.The photography is stunning and will keep you interested throughout.
Rating: - Best video on ID
Probably the best video I have seen on ID.It shows the basic need of information for life and asks the question, "where do we get information from?"If you only have one video to answer the science question of ID, this would be the one.
Rating: - A well thought out documentary
I found this to be an exceptional documentary on some of the greatest questions that face humankind. There was genuine curiosity and well thought out scientific examination on the molecular/chemical level. The use of animated graphics brought not only cellular activity, but concepts to life in a palpable way. It is exciting to see the leaps and bounds science has made over the last two decades - very impressive. This video, when shown to young children, will excite their desire to explore and study ...

Rating: - A World of Collective Insanity
Nothing scares me more than the fact that I live in a worldwhere people smirk and roll their eyes at the words 'intelligent design'. The idea that the world and complex living organisms show evidence of....(gasp!)....intelligent design is so 'beyond the pall' it can get you fired, blackballed, thrown out of a university and labeled a moron. This is a crystal clear presentation of the dazzling complexity of life, the mind-boggling inter-relatedness in which one part cannot accidentally arise independently ... Read More
