Dear friends:

A pastor friend loaned me a remarkable DVD titled "The Privileged Planet."  The 60-minute DVD explores the scientific evidence for intelligent design and purpose in the universe.  It is produced by Illustra Media and has been featured on TBN.

Descriptive material says:

This 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.

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 DVD is highly recommended if you are interested in scientific evidence of intelligent design, and especially if you or a loved one study or work in a scientific field.  Commentary is made by several distinguished scientists, such as astro-physicists and astro-biologists.

The visuals of the universe and the facts presented left me in a state of sheer awe as I considered our great Creator, who loved us so much that He left the glory of heaven, visited this speck of a far-off planet, in a speck of a far-off solar system, in a speck of a far-off galaxy -- then allowed Himself to be nailed to a bloody Roman cross because of our sins, then rose again.  What He has done is beyond awesome.

The DVD can be purchased on sale at http://www.illustramedia.com/orderlaunch2.htm or call 1-800-266-7741.
