Creation Science Movie

We watched a movie last night for homeschool called The Mysterious Islands.  It was a good Creation Science video which showed some really great wildlife on the Galapagos Islands (LOVE the turtles - one was over 200 years old) and described Darwin and his research from his visit to the Galapagos and how that helped lead to his theories of evolution and then clearly explained the Creationist position in comparison to Darwin's theories.  My kids (ages 14 and 11) were really interested in it and paid attention through the whole thing - didn't even complain once about watching a 90 minute science/Christian/homeschool video.

One point that they both found fascinating (and I did too) is how the theory of the survival of the fittest led to the devaluing of human life and the idea that some creatures are more valuable than others.  Hitler took these ideas and thought he'd help evolution along by eliminating the less likely to survive and less valuable (by his estimation).  Margaret Sanger was another person who helped start Planned Parenthood and decided that some people were not valuable or not even people (like unborn babies).  What a contrast to the way the world would work if people believed that all people are made in God's image and that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made with no mistakes or no one less valuable. 

Genesis 1:27 says, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."

Psalm 139:14 - "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

Plus - I got to see video of the blue footed boobie (a bird) which does indeed exist and does indeed have blue feet!  : )
