SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT
ANCIENT LIMBS & TIMELESS TRUTH
Nestled in a handful of small, isolated groves, Bristlecone Pines are the oldest individual organisms on Earth. These weathered trees—battered by millennia of wind, fire, drought and snow--are older than the Pyramids, the Parthenon and the Great Wall of China. Each is a biological marvel and a vivid reminder of God’s ultimate plan for all of life on our planet.
THREE POUNDS OF WONDER
The human brain has been called the most complex structure in the universe and every moment of every day, it controls each movement we make, thought we have and word we speak. In this visually compelling short video, stunning computer animation and cutting-edge imagery will transport you inside a realm of unimaginable wonder. We have been blessed with a gift that not only makes life on Earth possible, it also opens the door to a personal relationship with the Creator of the heavens and the Earth.
When These Stones Speak
In 1941, work on Mt. Rushmore was completed in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The colossal monument—featuring the faces of four presidents—is a silent testimony to American history, the spirit of democracy and something more. You see, this brilliant work of art also conveys a message that—if we will listen carefully--reveals a principle that underlies the creation of the entire universe and the life it contains: engineering, meticulous planning and foresight are not only required for the successful creation of an iconic sculpture--but also, for the origin and complexity of life on Earth.
FISH STORY (Part 2)
In December 1964, the story of a Pacific salmon’s extraordinary journey to reach its home waters captured the imagination of the world. Nicknamed “Indomitable”, a relentless cojo salmon battled its way through a series of perilous obstacles to reach the exact location where it was born. This thrilling odyssey comes to life in an unforgettable account of God’s creative power and provision for life on Earth.
WILDFLOWERS & RESURRECTION
As the snow of winter melts into the promise of spring, the world is filled with hope, renewal and new life. Two events highlight the season: the blossoming of countless acres of wildflowers and the celebration of Easter. As poppies, lupine, and daffodils push their way through barren soil, we are vividly reminded of the greatest moment in history—the resurrection of Jesus.
Fish Story (Part 1)
The Pacific Salmon is an icon of the animal kingdom and a spectacular example of biological purpose and design in the living world. There are five different species of these remarkable fish, and each year millions of them migrate from the Pacific Ocean to the exact river or stream where they hatched years before. Their extraordinary navigational abilities are showcased in this short video—the first in a two-part presentation.
WINGS OF WONDER
A hummingbird in flight is among the most beautiful creatures on Earth. Designed to hover and fly in every direction (including up-side-down), these tiny birds are endowed with aeronautical abilities that have fascinated scientists and school children for centuries. But how are they capable of such unique aerial displays? Their biological wonders are explored with computer animation and spectacular slow-motion photography is this stunning short video. #hummingbird #intelligentdesign #flight
THE GREATEST GIFT
The story of Christ’s birth begins long before Matthew and Luke’s beloved accounts of shepherds, a stable, and a star that shined over Bethlehem. In the first chapter of John’s gospel, we learn that Jesus was with God and the Holy Spirit before the creation of the universe. Then, more than 2000 years ago, He came to Earth as a babe in a manger—fully God and fully man. The centerpiece of the Lord’s eternal plan to save all of humanity from the consequences of sin.
THE SUPER GENERATION
Every year, millions of Monarch butterflies travel up to 2500 miles to reach a dozen small patches of forest in central Mexico. There, they spend the winter safe from the freezing temperatures in Canada and the midwestern United States. These fragile insects have no idea where they are headed on their migration. Yet, with ingenious navigational systems stored within their eyes, brains and antennae, they locate the same forests and trees that provided sanctuary to their ancestors for generations.
EXTRAORDINARY ENGINEERS
For more than 20 centuries, mathematicians, artists and engineers have marveled at the structure of the honeybee hive. Comprised of thousands of perfect hexagonal cells, every inch of a honeycomb wall is a masterpiece of design. Now, recent discoveries have cast even greater light on the bee’s architectural abilities with stunning new evidence of purpose, foresight and cognitive decision-making by insects with brains smaller than a sesame seed.
