Few events in nature can rival the extraordinary life cycle of a butterfly. This stunning transformation from a slow, earth-bound caterpillar to a magnificent flying insect is the epitome of mystery and wonder. Through breathtaking photography and cutting edge research you’ll explore this miracle of God’s creation in a way you’ll never forget.

Of all the world’s wonders there is perhaps none greater than God’s creation of human life. From physical gifts like our opposable thumbs and the ability to walk upright, to our capacity for self-awareness, speech, creativity and rational thought, we are, to quote the psalmist, “fearfully and wonderfully made.” Yet in the fabric of the human experience, one quality stands alone. We are each made in the image of God. But what does it mean to bear the image and likeness of our Creator? Explore this mystery and its profound implications in this important video.

A ripened fruit catapults its seeds to fertile soil. Dead tissue is energized to move dynamically under its own power. A seed sows itself. Witness all this and more in the fascinating life cycle of a plant known as stork’s bill. This unforgettable video is a celebration of the unseen mystery and wonder of life on earth.

How did life on Earth begin? Are plants, animals and human beings the products of blind chance and random interactions of matter and energy? Or are the complexity, beauty and diversity inherent in all living organisms confirmation of intelligent design and purpose? Explore the evidence in this fascinating video.

In May 2019, an international team of astronomers released one of the most important photographs in history. For 16 years, the Hubble Space Telescope surveyed a pinpoint of outer space previously believed to be relatively empty. When 7500 separate images were assembled into a comprehensive mosaic, they discovered at least 265,000 galaxies in an area of sky so small it can be covered by a fingertip held at arm’s length.

Earth is filled with spectacular natural wonders and many of them are so common or small we pass by them each day without a glance or second thought. Vivid examples are the parachutes on the puff ball of a dandelion. Recent discoveries by an international team of scientists have revealed how these miniature aircraft can—under optimal conditions—remain aloft for miles. The dandelion seed’s aeronautical design is more efficient than any man-made parachute.

The migration journey of the Pacific Salmon is iconic.  Relying on their incredible sense of smell and internal navigation systems, the fish travel from the Pacific Ocean to the exact river or stream where they hatched years before.  The biological engineering involved is sophisticated, highly accurate, and a superb example of intelligent design in the living world.

The remarkable cone of a knobcone pine tree is both an impenetrable vault and a launch pad for flying seeds that can restore a devastated forest.  Watch an incredible provision for life and evidence for intelligent design in this fascinating video.
