Product Description
Today, most scientists and philosophers claim that Earth is an ordinary speck of dust adrift, without purpose or significance, in a vast cosmic sea. This idea (popularized by the late astronomer, Carl Sagan) is an outgrowth of the naturalistic philosophy that has dominated science for the past 150 years. Yet, remarkable evidence--unveiled by contemporary astronomy and physics-may now tell a very different story. Building upon the overwhelming success of Unlocking the Mystery of Life (widely acclaimed as the most effective refutation of Darwinian theory, ever produced), Illustra Media presents The Privileged Planet. This hour-long documentary explores the scientific evidence for intelligent design and purpose in the universe. In the process, Earth is revealed as far more than the product of time, chance, and random natural processes. We now know that a rare and finely tuned array of factors makes Earth suitable for complex life. We depend on our planet's oxygen-rich atmosphere, its large moon, its planetary neighbors, and its precise location within the solar system and Milky Way galaxy. But the story does not end here. For, the same factors that make a planet like Earth hospitable to life also provide the best conditions for scientific discovery. Is this correlation merely a coincidence? Or does it point to a deeper truth about the purpose of the cosmos and the reality of a transcendent designer? The answer could dramatically affect 21st century science. Through stunning computer animation, interviews with leading scientists, and spectacular images of Earth and the cosmos, The Privileged Planet explores a startling connection between our capacity to survive and our ability to observe and understand the universe. A connection that points directly to the work of a creative mind and plan. This extraordinary documentary will be a focal point in the escalating debate between evolution and design. |

WOW - an eye opener by Dennis Frakes (Seabrook, TX)  5 Stars
August 31, 2009
This DVD humbles you. When you see the wonders God has done for our benefit - it makes you understand how God has a plan for us, if we will but listen. I recommend this DVD highly as a short but very informative documentary. You will learn a lot and it will open your eyes. For those who are mind numbed robots schooled in the closed society of Darwinism (as I was for many years) then this is a must watch. Have the courage to question your premis and to try to open your mind to new thoughts. It may not change your mind, but it will help you see the other side of the argument. Your opinion is not the only one around and you have no corner on science. Rational, tolernate people can look at facts and come to different conclusions - that is ok. Try it - you might like it. Remember consensus is the last refuge of the scoundral.

DECIDE for YOURSELF... START with an empty slate...NO CHANCE & NO GOD... Then come to your own conclusion by G. Melchor (USA)  1 Stars
August 29, 2009
let's see...
aeons went by... somehow... your house came out of thin air. the materials decided to somehow put itself together into a nice design that... hey... actually has some practical purpose... wait a minute... can it be? wow it's even nice to look at... and imagine all if it came by chance...
look no one has to be a christian to see the logic.
all these years... the premise was we came from a simple cell... DUHHHHHH! no such thing... who needs to be a christian to see that?
Look i have SERIOUS DOUBTS in all this happening by chance... BUT why worry about any comments 1 star or 5...
In the end if it's important to YOU. Then you can do YOUR own research. check out both sides of the issue... from an objective point of view. NO EVOLUTION... NO GOD. And then decide FOR YOURSELF.
Remember... your clueless to believe evolution/chance or God if you don't research it yourself.

Indeed a Priviledged Planet by Vicente Magraner (Miami, Fl) 5 Stars
July 08, 2009
This is an outstanding video with strong irrefutable evidence of an Intelligent Design (thus a Creator). The amount of information is very good as well as the sources of said information.
Some of the information requires some level of education in order to understand it fully but at the end the conclusions make it all absorbable. As an engineer myself I totally recommend it for those skeptics who have a hard time accepting the fact that there is a God due to "scientific" or "evolutionary" precepts. This shows that God created science.

Too lucky to be just luck! by Wilfrido Gonzalez Martinez (Tijuana, Mexico) 5 Stars

The Privileged Planet shows the astronomical side of what I strongly believe reveals a more than intelligent presence behind all of these wonders: A loving, indescribably powerful and awesome presence. There is hope for Mankind!

| Unlocking The Mystery Of Life
Starring: Jay Richards
Directed By: Lad Allen
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...

| The Case for a Creator
Starring: Lee Strobel
Directed By: Lad Allen
This 60-minute program is a compelling adaptation of Lee Strobel's personal journey from atheism to faith in God... a journey in search of the truth about intelligent design in the universe. During his academic years, Lee became convinced that God was outmoded, a belief that colored his ensuing career as an award-winning journalist at the Chicago Tribune . Science made the idea of a Creator irrelevant... or so Strobel thought. My road to atheism was paved by science... but, ironically,...

| Icons Of Evolution
Starring: Steve Meyer, Paul Nelson, Ken Miller, Bruce Chapman, David Berlinski
Directed By: Brian Boorujy
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....

| Where Does The Evidence Lead?
Starring: Jay Richards
Directed By: Lad Allen
Where Does the Evidence Lead? is a re-cap, summarization of the same materials included in Unlocking the Mystery of Life. It's an incredibly "easy-to-view" and "easy-to-understand" DVD/Video! Where Does the Evidence Lead? contains all of the same footage utilized in Unlocking the Mystery of Life but the program material is divided into six, 10-minute chapters that allow the viewer to quickly view and easily grasp the compelling case for "Design vs Darwinism."
