Storyline
Unlocking the Mystery of Life represents a unique programming opportunity for local stations. Its broadcast release coincides with the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in history-James Watson and Francis Crick's discovery that the DNA molecule carries hereditary information in the form of a code that many scientists have likened to computer software or a written language. This discovery (announced on April 25,1953) sparked a scientific revolution. But it also left a fundamental question unanswered. Where did the information in DNA come from? How did the software in the cell arise? Unlocking the Mystery of Life explores these questions through the stories of a growing number of scientists who no longer believe that natural selection or chemistry, alone, can explain life's origin. Instead, they think that the microscopic world of the cell provides evidence of purpose and design in nature. Written by Anonymous

Is life on Earth the product of purely undirected processes like time, chance and natural selection? Or, can the origin and diversity of living organisms be traced to an intelligent cause? Unlocking the Mystery of Life explores these timeless questions and presents compelling evidence to support an idea that could revolutionize scientific thought - the theory of intelligent design.Genres:

Dean H. Kenyon: It's an enormous problem, how you could get together in one tiny, sub-microscopic volume of the primitive ocean all of the hundreds of different molecular components you would need in order for a self-replicating cycle to be established. As so my doubts about whether amino acids could order themselves into meaningful biological sequences on their own, without pre-existing genetic material being present, just reached, I guess for me, the intellectual breaking point, sometime near the decade of ...See more »
I truly enjoyed and appreciated this DVD. It answered so many questions I had regarding "evolution". I have to say that it is difficult to argue their "facts" as 21st century technology has been able to uncover DNA and cell structure. This is something Darwin couldn't even conceive. At the time Darwin thought a single cell was the center of life, but we have come far. I suggest you take a look at this film if you have any questions about evolution or natural selection. I recommend you see this film if you don't have any questions, you will when you're done watching. It's truly a eye and mind opener. For the record, religion and God are never mentioned.
