"ORIGIN: Design, Chance, and the First Life on Earth," otherwise titled "Origin: How Did Life on Earth Begin?" examines a question that has baffled science for centuries: "How did life on earth begin?" The documentary exposes the flaws of materialistic theories currently posited by most scientists which claim that the transition from inanimate matter to the first living cell was a matter of simple chemistry without direction or information derived from intelligence. The video points out the show more lack of evidence and the gargantuan leap of faith necessary to hold such views by taking the viewer on a journey through a molecular universe where one encounters, not simple random processes, but rather extraordinary biological engineering clearly deriving from unfathomable Intelligence and Mind. By demolishing rationalizations devised to circumvent knowledge of God, "Origin" can assist the viewer who is so disposed to open his heart and mind to ask more open-ended questions with the possibility of being met by the Personal Creator of all things. show less

Incredible DVD presentation. Beautiful, interesting, detailed new information about what happens in between the life stages of a moth or butterfly. Information gathered from MRI imaging.

How did these extraordinary creatures come into being? Are they the products of a blind, undirected process? Or were they designed for a purpose by an intelligence?

Using the dramatic scenario of an investigative journalist pursuing his story and leads, Strobel uses his experience as a reporter for the Chicago Times to interview experts about the evidence for Christ from the fields of science, philosophy, and history.
