Customer Reviews of Icons Of Evolution
Buy it, get informed and demand change "Icons of Evolution" should be required viewing for all high school science teachers and parents of high school students. In fact, it would probably be a good thing for high school students to watch the video themselves. The story is compelling, but the issues raised are even more important than the story itself.
As a former public high school biology teacher, I'm impressed by how plainly this video lays out some of the fundamental problems with public high school science education. On the one hand, doctrinaire pressure groups like the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), who seem to have only one agenda item, work to impose their particular version of evolution on all students. On the other hand you have weak-kneed bureaucratic administrators who haven't a clue about what it being taught but simply "follow the curriculum as it is given."
In this environment, all innovation is stomped out and students end up with a dry recitations of lessons which contain rubbish mixed in with important information. When I taught using Miller and Levine, the most popular high school biology text at the time, it contained garbage like drawings of embryos by Ernst Haeckel which were recognized as nonsense over 100 years ago. What shocks me is that I seemed to be the only teacher who knew this was garbage. "Icons of Evolution" should be a wakeup call to all taxpayers who continue to flush money uncritically into our public education system.
The potential for something much better than we have is out there. Buy this video, watch it, get informed, get out there and demand change.
Another Nail In Evolution's Coffin
Using Mr. Dehart, former biology teacher in Burlington, WA., whose using peer-reviewed materials that question evolution, as a backdrop and using many materials based loosely on Johnathan Well's book "Icons of Evolution", the DVD takes the viewer along certian ideas and questionable tactics in the evolution controversy. Though the paying field is stacked in the favor of those who question evolution, the show's purpose is to balance against the dogma so often taught and viewed in schools and on TV.
First, one clearly identifies teh paralells between the "Scope trial" and Mr. Dehart's position, the difference is that now the fundamentalists are the Darwinian Evolutionists. Topics discussed are the proper role of a high school science tecaher and thena cursory look at some of the "Icons of Evolution" such as Haekel's drawings, the fruit fly, and Cambrian explosion. The propducers did an outstanding job in presenting the Cambrian Explosion.
The DVD is of high quality and many of the supports of teaching material critical of evolution are scienctists who themselves are peer-reviewed, college professors in their fields.
The only fault is that the DVD is only 51 minutes and the special features could have been better. This DVD should have been longer further dealing with other "Icons of Evolution."
Poisoning the Wells
This is a fine video that explores icons of the cult of Darwin and the fanatical attempts of the neo-Darwinians to suppress all challenges to their quaint little belief. I deduct one star because it is too short. There are so many other important frauds and deceptions in need of being addressed that permeate this amazing movement that seeks to convince rational people, through a series of "just so stories", that they somehow descended from rocks. These cry out to be addressed in a format such as this. At the very least I would have liked a little more on the Darwinist attempt to disguise the macro-stasis evident in the fossil record. That fine point aside, this is an approachable treatment of how the Darwinists reach has now exceeded their grasp and how by simply asking questions, people are beginning to see that the Emperor of Evolution has no clothes.
In addition to exposing some of the more outrageous Darwinist frauds, this video provides a good treatment of the coercive nature of the neo-Darwinian establishment. It documents how Darwinists behave as they lose the minds and hearts of the people and therefore must stoop to using raw power and might to keep the growing number of dissident academics on the reservation. Watch this video and be astonished by the patronizing nonsense offered up as justification for Darwinist intellectual bullying. Finally, As a bonus, by reading all the "reviews" by "Clairvoyant One Star Warriors" who clearly didn't watch one minute of this documentary, one can see the condescending and patronizing attitudes of those who, having failed to win the debate with the Intelligent Design movement, seek now to suppress it.
Notes on the film:
The music is acceptable for those who have grown weary of everything having to sound like some foul MTV Mu-sick video.
The production quality is high and on par with the best of the documentary makers craft.
The film is suitable for Middle School through High School students though undergraduate College students can use it as a springboard for college level research.
