I recently had the opportunity to take a look at the video entitled Unlocking the Mystery of Life by Illustra Media. I won’t go into much detail here, but I would rather refer you to a review that I wrote for Michael Behe’s book Darwin’s Black Box (here)* for more information. My best summary of this excellent video is that it is (in a sense) the video version of Darwin’s Black Box plus a brief history of the beginnings of the ID movement. Not everyone will want to take the time to read Behe’s book, but with a video like this, a viewer could easily digest the basic arguments advanced by Behe, while being introduced to other leaders within the ID movement in the process. Additionally, this video is simple enough for children to comprehend. The CGI reconstructions of various biochemical processes is absolutely stunning, and helps the viewer to see a portion of the vast measure of complexity that lies within the smallest levels of cellular life – the likes of which Darwin could only assume (and hope) was simple and non-complex. This video does an excellent job of exposing the black box of unproven hypotheses, as held intensely by Darwin and his devoted followers, while at the same time revealing the majesty, wisdom, and glory of the Creator who created life for His own glory.
*My normal disclaimer concerning ID usually includes a reminder to the viewer/reader that the ID community is quite broad. While tools like these are useful, I would like to encourage caution to those who use such things.
