- Origin: probability of a single protein forming by chance
From the video description: "This clip is an excerpt from the film ORIGIN: Design, Chance and the First Life on Earth. Produced by Illustra Media https://illustramedia.com/" The fundamental basis of all living things is the cell. The basis of all cells rely on proteins. And proteins are 3-dimensional, folded chains of amino acids. So, to take things backwards logically, in order for all living things to exist according to the Neo-Darwinian theory of evolution, amino acids had to come together through some sort of random, unguided process in order to form the first proteins that created the first cell on the planet - thus establishing the foundation of the evolutionary tale. So since amino acids are simple chemicals, it should be easy to create the first protein, right? And if the Earth is billions of years old as many claim it to be, that's surely enough time to create a simple protein and then create living cells from there, right? Well... let's just say that it might not be as simple as that. See for yourself using the laws of mathematics, and draw your own conclusion about whether or not you think the story of unguided macro-evolution is possible.
- Privileged species featuring Dr. Michael Denton
From the video description: "Privileged Species is a 33-minute documentary by Discovery Institute that explores growing evidence from physics, chemistry, biology, and related fields that our universe was designed for large multi-cellular beings like ourselves. Featuring geneticist and author Michael Denton, the documentary investigates the special properties of carbon, water, and oxygen that make human life and the life of other organisms possible, and it explores some of the unique features of humans that make us a truly privileged species." Agnostics and atheists must eventually face the bleak reality of their worldview - that they are completely unremarkable specks of dust floating around in a purposeless cosmos that is doomed to extinction in an eventual cold death due to the expansion of the undeniable expansion of the universe. There's no other way to slice or dice that worldview, and while someone you may know who holds that worldview may claim to be superficially happy, such a conclusion is completely inarguable. How tragic and depressing! However, when looking at the evidence that exists all around us through a different lens, a different picture emerges - one of happiness and privilege that you can come to know and appreciate! Explore the evidence for yourself in this next short documentary, and understand that you are not alone in the world and unremarkable, but are a truly special creation and made for a purpose.
- why i believe in a young earth - by an ex-evolutionist
From creationworldview.org: "Dr. Grady S. McMurtry is an American Christian apologist who focuses on the areas of biblical creation and creation science. Dr. McMurtry earned his B. S. from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; an M. S. from the State University of New York, Syracuse; and a D. D. from the School of Theology, Columbus, Georgia. He is a Regent and Adjunct Professor of the School of Theology, Columbus, Georgia; Life Member of the Creation Research Society; and a member of the Mensa Society. McMurtry was an evolutionist for 20 years, a theistic evolutionist for one and a half years, and has been a biblical creationist for 35 years." The fanciful theory of Darwinian evolution is so ingrained into the fabric of common culture that it's inescapable. Everywhere you go you see it. When you walk into any museum today, the story of Earth being millions or billions of years old is tirelessly thrown at you. But how do we know if it's even true, or do you accept that narrative out of blind faith? What's the actual evidence for it? What could the evidence be against it? In this four-part video lecture, Dr. McMurtry uses examples from multiple scientific subjects to expose some of the pitfalls in the theory, and offers evidence in direct contradiction to the theories that Earth is millions of years old. Watch for yourself and humbly ask yourself whether or not you think think the earth is as old as many claim it to be, or whether you can accept the evidence that it might not be the case.

- Information enigma: where does information come from?
From the video description: "Information drives the development of life. But what is the source of that information? Could it have been produced by an unguided Darwinian process? Or did it require intelligent design? The Information Enigma is a fascinating 21-minute documentary that probes the mystery of biological information, the challenge it poses to orthodox Darwinian theory, and the reason it points to intelligent design. The video features Dr. Stephen Meyer, and molecular biologist Douglas Axe, founder of the Biologic Institute." If you were walking along the shoreline on the beach and found a random pile of rocks you likely wouldn't think anything of it. But if the pile of rocks was laid out in such a way that it spelled out "HELLO", you would automatically draw the conclusion that somebody placed them there in a purposeful manner and that the water on the shoreline could never do that out of random chance. Why is that? It's because of information. Information is organized and structured data. But the thing about information is that it takes somebody to actually organize and structure it! That's why you can't write a book by picking letters randomly out of a hat and stringing them together - it takes a mind to do that. Watch this next short video about information and discover this truth for yourself:
- Stephen meyer investigates scientific evidence for intelligent design
From the video description: "Join Stephen as he investigates the scientific evidence for intelligent design in the origin of life, the development of biological complexity, and physics and cosmology. [...]Meyer explores the scientific basis for the theory of intelligent design—the idea that key features of life and the universe are best explained as the product of an intelligent cause rather than an unguided process." Abundant evidence exists that we didn't come from some unguided process and are nothing more than collections of atoms flying around the cosmos. As science continues to advance through developments in technology, new evidence is continually brought to light that greatly challenges the traditional Neo-Darwinian narrative that so many of us were blindly taught to accept throughout grade school. This short video from Dr. Stephen Meyer is just a brief example touching on some of the growing body of evidence against Darwinian evolution using modern scientific revelations.
- Science confirms the bible
From the video description: "Learn about DNA as evidence for the infinite God, the basics of genetics and natural selection as they relate to biblical “kinds,” the origin of so-called races, the truth about Cain's wife, evidence for the worldwide Flood, the actual time of the Ice Age, literal vs. figurative creation days, the origin of death, dating methods, and more. The Bible is true. Science confirms it..." It is very common today to hear someone say something along the lines of, "the Bible is just a book of fanciful tales, and modern science has disproved it to be true." But what can't be further from the truth is that statement. If you ever hear somebody say that to you, ask them what they mean by that, and ask for specific examples. Because contrary to what they may have heard, there is fact an abundance of information from nearly every scientific subject that indeed supports the Biblical narrative. In this video from Ken Ham of his organization, Answers in Genesis, Mr. Ham offers a presentation of the multitudes of evidence from many areas of study in support of the truth of the Bible. Enjoy!
- Michael behe: darwin devolves
From the video description: "In Darwin Devolves, [Dr. Michael] Behe argues, in brief, that “It’s easy to break things, and often it gives a benefit.” Building new things, wonderful things, through an unintelligent process like Darwinian evolution is another matter entirely. Michael J. Behe is Professor of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and a Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 1978. Behe's current research involves delineation of design and natural selection in protein structures." The theory of Darwinian macro-evolution has been proposed and taught in classrooms for decades. As students, one is pressed to receive the theory as unquestionable fact, and oftentimes any sort of conflicting evidence to the evolutionary-narrative is ignored. However, modern advances in science and especially in the study of biology have increasingly challenged the longstanding theory of Darwinian evolution. Current research continually seems to point away from the possibility of the theory as being reliable, and one only needs to look at the data of the research with humility to discover the truth. In this excerpt, Dr. Behe discusses how Darwinian evolution is currently facing its limits, and offers evidence for the theory of Intelligent Design using research from modern biology.
- Why does the complexity of dna point to an intelligent design?
From the video description: "Where did we come from? How did we get here? Dr. John Ankerberg discusses theories regarding Darwinian Evolution, Intellgent Design, and other facts surrounding the Origins of Life. Dr. Ankerberg's guest is Dr. Stephen Meyer, a best-selling author and co-founder of the Intelligent Design Movement. Dr. Meyer has written two books, and holds a PHD in the Philosophy of Science from Cambridge University." DNA, which is of course key to the function and creation of every cell in every single living organism on this planet, is being revealed to be the most complex organization of information in the universe. While the structure was correctly first elucidated by American biologist James Watson and English physicist Francis Watson in 1953, the complexity of the function is still being discovered today and is easily proving to be far more complex than any scientist could have ever imagined. It's so complex that even Bill Gates has famously quoted that, "DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created." In this brief video, Dr. Stephen Meyer discuses it's complexity briefly in an easily digestible way, but more importantly outlines the implications of the research behind DNA and how it seems to point to a fundamental first cause - an all powerful and intelligent mind.
- Stephen C. Meyer: Theistic Evolution
From the video description: "Author Stephen C. Meyer presents the case against Theistic Evolution. From the event "Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique," hosted by Biola University." According to Wikipedia, "Theistic evolution, also known as theistic evolutionism or God-guided evolution, is a general term comprising views that regard religious teachings about God as compatible with modern scientific understanding about biological evolution." This sounds ok until you think about what this last statement is really implying. what is considered to be "modern scientific understanding about biological evolution"? While secular scientists and common culture today seem to blindly accept Darwin's theory of macro-evolution as undeniable fact, it is still in fact just a theory, and furthermore it is a theory that is full of holes upon closer inspection. Nonetheless, there are many in religious circles that try to have their cake and eat it to when it comes to reconciling ideas of creationism pitted against common secular assertions by compromising in one area or another. In this video, Dr. Stephen Meyer discusses a multitude of points concerning the topic of Theistic Evolution and offers eye-opening critiques on the topic.
- Intelligent Design 3.0
From the video description: "Dr. Stephen Meyer and Dr. Doug Axe discuss the advances of Intelligent Design Theory and the faltering Neo-Darwinian mechanisms behind creative change." Neo-Darwinian thought typically integrates the ideas behind Charles Darwin's theory of evolution with Gregor Mendel's theory of genetics in an attempt to explain how genetic theory somehow offers proof of Darwinian macro-evolution. However, some of the world's leading scientists today have been questioning the supposed "evidence" that is sometimes offered in support of the theories, and instead have been using the latest scientific evidence from both genetics and philosophy to offer another competing theory that has been gaining a ton of traction as of late - the theory of Intelligent Design. In this next video, one of the pioneers and leaders in the movement to accept the theory, Dr. Steven Meyer, is joined by his esteemed colleague, biologist Dr. Doug Axe, to discuss some of the latest developments supporting the theory of Intelligent Design and where Darwin's theory of evolution falls short.
- Scientific Proof of God in 5 Minutes
From the video description: "MIT Physicist Dr. Gerald Schroeder offers proof god exists and explains how, as a scientist, he believes in god. Schroeder explores scientific proof of god using the Big Bang theory and quantum theory..." A simplified view of the cosmological argument for God's existence posits that everything that has some type of beginning has a cause for the beginning outside of itself, and since the universe itself has a beginning, the universe therefore has a cause outside of itself as well. In this brief video, Dr. Schroeder does an interesting job at clearly explaining such an position from a scientific standpoint by drawing comparative arguments and utilizing the research from NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, which was a 9-year satellite project that cost over $150 million to conduct. Ultimately, the research concluded by producing a single diagram that condensed all of what is commonly accepted in the secular community relating to the Big Bang Theory. Listen to what he has to say, because in this case the conclusions are interestingly self evident...
