My wife and I watched the first local showing last evening of Genesis: Paradise Lost by Creation Today. It is showing at select theaters for two nights, the remaining one November 16. Those are apparently pilot showings to get the word out.
REVIEW
We went for the technical effects to be honest, and chose 3D to enhance it. That turned out to be a wise choice because the flatness of 2D would have depreciated the Creation. God's wonderful handiwork was shown in a realistic manner which really was quite impressive. Likewise, animated scenes could hardly be discerned from the real. As I peered into the behemoth's mouth, I could almost count the sharp teeth.
As somewhat of a scientist, being an engineer, I had little trouble following the scientific laws which were presented. Thermodynamic, genetic, and physical laws were presented by highly educated scientists in their field. Of particular interest was the comparison of skulls of early man and primates by a specialist in that field.
This movie was a platform for truth, and that job was done extremely well. The fallacies and discontinuity in scientific theories were refuted by the best, not using faith arguments, but scientific against the scientists. However, near the end, the movie validated faith by the scientific.
This movie was not one with a cast and a storyline. It was visual representations to reinforce the scientific way the Creation was accomplished by its Designer. Between Creation scenes, the best in their fields compared evolution theory to Creationism. Whereas, scientific theory is riddled with holes, these capable scientists reinforced the biblical account with scientific laws.
The first words inspired by God to be written was, "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth (Gen. 1:1)." Essentially, this first knowledge acknowledged that God created not only things but the void space into which things were placed. Science has never attempted to explain from where the void came, and that puzzle in itself can only be explained by God. The boundless, never-ending container for everything is astounding. This thought alone is worth the money!
Although not rejecting the evolution of the species, these scientists handily rejected evolution between "kinds" since God created discreet species. The Second Law of Thermodynamics was rightly used to point out that all things move toward disorder. Evolution, on the other hand, requires that things, including mankind, would become more complex. That is cannot be! Mutations of the kinds result in weaker and dumber kinds.
A good portion of the movie was spent on he global flood of Noah's time, and the stratified layers, none which showed missing links between the species. Of particular note was that sea animals have been found on mountaintops, and that underneath the surface of the earth are vast reservoirs of waters which once gurgled upward to flood the earth. Some of this water, it was noted, is still stored in the polar ice caps. The underground seas were a recent discovery, but God's Word explained that 4500 years ago!
Likewise, scripture was used to explain the order that things were created in actual seven days as measured with God's clock - the sun. Scripture was used to validate the space-time warp in that the heavens were rolled out like a carpet. Scripture was used to describe the spherical shape of the earth, thousands of years before mankind realized it wasn't flat!
This movie is based on science, and does not use faith as a method of self-validation. The scientists use real science to verify that what we take by faith is scientific, and points out the degree of faith it would take to buy into evolution theory.
Those who accept the evolution theory, and deny God's Almightiness, imply that God is a liar. How could God save us in heaven if He had not created the heavens as he claims? This scientific look at the Creation is effective in increasing faith. The movie uses great arguments to reject the play book of the evolutionists who have false wisdom, and propagate what is right in their own eyes by deception.
One great point is that we the people have been indoctrinated to accept theory as fact because the elite just can't accept the idea that there is a God. As Paul Harvey would quip, "Page two!" Page two is the other side of the argument. At least, let the people hear it and decide. This movie does just that! Look for it to be attacked vehemently by those in the media, education, and the proud scientists who prefer their own version which is false data. They know that, but still propagate it.
