This creation series is an awesome idea! The first program, “The Heavens Declare”, kicks off the series with visually stunning images. With scriptures boldly flashing on the screen, this documentary reveals the wonderful creations of the universe, and the fact that the heavens declare the glory of God. From John chapter one the film begins by reminding the viewer that all things were created by God, with the Son of God being involved. “All things were made by him” it declares.
Dr. John Hartnett hosts this documentary which takes a look at the creatures of earth such as the fox, bear, ram, and so forth but mainly focuses on the solar system. The film drives home the point that the planet Earth was meant to be inhabited, while the same is not true regarding other planets including the moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, etc. The moon serves the function of tilting the earth on its axis, so that we enjoy the four seasons of life. God created the earth so that people could breathe its oxygen, drink from its water, and dwell here. This first program in the series is a fantastic documentary with wonderful graphics and illustrations.
In “Heavens Declare: Beyond the Milky Way” Dr. John Hartnett from the University of Western Australia does a magnificent job in revealing scientific secrets which compliment and do not contradict the Bible. He hosts this DVD which features stunning visuals and graphics as it focuses on the wonderful creator of it all. The DVD is nicely made all the way around, including the pleasant voice of narrator Dr. Rich Hobson.
The topics include a look at the solar system, satellites, stars and others and features scripture which focuses on God as creator. Ultimately, the program finished with Proverbs 3:5-6 which states that people need to trust in the Lord with all of their hearts and lean not unto their own understanding. This is an educationally and visually powerful DVD. After viewing this DVD, you might just declare that “The Heavens Declare” DVD is awesome!
In the third program, “The Young Sun” this fantastic DVD is hosted by three scientific brains who are amazed by God’s creation of the great blazing red ball known as the Sun. The DVD opens by mentioning the Genesis account of two great lights being created by God in the beginning, the greater light (the sun) to rule by day and the lesser light (the moon) to rule by night. It is stated that we can always count on one thing every morning, the sun will rise. The sun was created with the proper size and the right distance from Earth so that it can warm Earth’s atmosphere.
The scientists explore the corona of the sun, its mass, and gravitational pull, as well as looking at how plants harness the light of the sun. The Milky Way is also explored. The conclusion is that God is a great designer and is behind the awesome creations of the universe, including the sun. We gladly award this Creation series DVD set our Dove Seal for all ages. It is a delight and educational and could be used as a tool for a Creationism class.
