The Mysterious Islands
A Testimony to God’s Hand in Creation
“Darwin called these islands a laboratory for evolution but there’s another
perspective: a showcase for the wisdom of the Creator.”
(San Antonio, TX) – August 31, 2010 - Today, THE MYSTERIOUS ISLANDS,
a stunning and sweeping new DVD documentary from Vision Forum Ministries and
Erwin Brothers Films, invites you to the Galapagos Islands--one of Earth’s most
remote and fascinating points. This 90-minute visual adventure pursues the
answer to the single, vital question: “Is the Galapagos a laboratory for
evolution or a glorious testimony to God’s creation?”
Alongside a bold Christian team of scientists, father and son adventurers, and
cutting-edge filmmakers, families and kids now can journey 600 miles off the
cost of Ecuador (home of the giant Galapagos tortoise!) to the very islands
Charles Darwin visited more than 150 years ago.
“Darwin got it wrong on the Galápagos, and his conclusions have led these
islands to not only become the Mecca for evolutionists, but also the launching
ground for the modern environmental movement,” expedition leader Doug Phillips
explains. “Many Christians are genuinely confused on how best to respond to
these ideas, and The Mysterious Islands helps to fill this critical gap through
a cinematically beautiful film.”
Perfect for homeschoolers and families who love nature programs, THE
MYSTERIOUS ISLANDS explores the critical evolution/creation conversation
through the eyes of Phillips’ oldest son, 16-year-old Joshua. Also along to
explore and discuss are Dr. John Morris, renowned author and speaker on the
relationship between science and the Bible, and award-winning filmmakers Jon and
Andy Erwin.
In THE MYSTERIOUS ISLANDS, Doug Phillips and noted researcher Dr. John
Morris make a compelling scientific case for creationism. The home schooling
community embraces the film as a scientific apologetic supporting Creationism,
and challenging the generally-accepted Evolution theory taught in public
schools.
Mystery and Beauty
In spectacular cinematography some compare to Disney’s EARTH, THE
MYSTERIOUS ISLANDS walks, dives, and soars from breathtaking vistas high
atop volcanic peaks to depths beneath the waves, among schools of white-tip
sharks, and alongside some of the earth’s most unique land life, such as
salt-sneezing lizards, flightless birds, and tortoises that can live more than
150 years. Step by step, following Darwin’s well-documented path, Doug and his
team detail how the evolutionists interpreted his view . . . and how a
faith-informed perspective leads to decidedly different conclusions.
Education and Entertainment
‘The spectacular photography is both awe-inspiring and educational,” Dr.
Tommy Mitchell, adjunct professor with Answers in Genesis said. “Viewers can
truly understand the flaws in Darwin’s ideas while realizing the truth of the
Genesis account. This film is must-viewing.”
With documentary facts and adventure thrills, THE MYSTERIOUS ISLANDS
enlightens as it entertains—all in the year of the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s
birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his landmark On the Origin
of the Species. In fact, this was the only Christian film crew to shoot on the
Galapagos during the important anniversary year.
Don't miss what Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association, calls
"a powerful apologetic for God's hand in creation," and a film that belongs in
"every family library."
THE MYSTERIOUS ISLANDS is distributed on DVD by Provident Films.
