	Well Done and Respectful- Highly Recommend  May 17, 2010
"Do you really believe that what you believe is really real?" In the DVD set, Does God Exist?, Dr. Stephen Meyer* attempts to answer the question, "What is the prime reality?". This boils down to "What's the thing from which everything else comes?". He takes a classroom (of what appear to be college students) through multiple competing hypotheses. Looking at evidence from the natural world, he makes his case for which of the four worldviews (deism, theism, pantheism, and materialism) provides the best explanation. The set contains two DVDs, with ten thirty minute lessons. These include Faith and Reason, The Big Bang Cosmology Parts 1-3, DNA by Design Parts 1-3, The Return of the God Hypothesis, and The Moral Necessity of Theism Parts 1-2. There is also a nicely done booklet included, which contains an overview for each session, highlights from the lesson, and discussion questions that would actually lead to discussion. For example, "Why is it important to think of the Big Bang as an 'effect' of the universe rather than the 'cause' of the universe?", "What is meant by "self-organization", and why does this theory fail to account for the arrangement of information in DNA?", and "Why is it so difficult to live as a moral relativist- to deny the existence of any objective moral standard?". Dr. Meyers respects his student's intelligence, encouraging them to look at the objectives to his arguments and come to their own conclusions. He makes his case for Intelligent Design and asks them to decide if his evidence is persuasive. He doesn't belittle other theories and scientists, but rather explains their viewpoints and then shares why he does not believe the evidence backs them up. This made a huge impression on me, as other Christian scientists I otherwise admire unfortunately seem to have a glaring absence of this kind of respect for those who do not agree with them. These lessons are not designed to argue a literal interpretation of Genesis versus Theistic Evolution. I would deduce that Dr. Meyers is in the latter group, but this is not the point of his teaching. His goal is to show that the best explanation for the question of what's-the-thing-everything-else-came-from is God. The lessons are full of scientific discoveries and history and theories, but even as a "non-science person" I found him easy to listen to and follow. This will be staying in my homeschool library and will be required viewing for my high schoolers. I think it would be a great addition to a biology course, or even a study on Origin Theories. I have considered putting something together like this myself- combining materials from the Young Earth Creationists, the Theistic Evolutionists, the Intelligent Design crowd, and the Evolutionists. After studying each "from the horse's mouth", the student could craft a persuasive paper sharing their own conclusions. This would be a wonderful part of this kind of course and could generate much discussion.
	Excellent Resource  May 13, 2010
Recently I had the opportunity to review the DVD Does God Exist? Kit: Building the Scientific Case, produced by Focus on the Family, and featuring Dr. Stephen Meyer. I'm so glad that I did! There are two DVD's with ten 30-minute lessons (plus a bonus extra: The Toughest Test in College), along with a 64-page color booklet with discussion questions. Topics discussed are: Faith and Reason, The Big Bang theory, DNA, Intelligent Design, The Return of the God Hypothesis, and The Moral Necessity of Theism. For decades now, our society has been embracing intellectualism and the climate is growing increasingly hostile to faith. This series is geared toward young people, to help answer questions (that we all have) and then be able to defend their faith. It is perfect for those who are college-bound, but it is also perfect for those who don't go to college. It can be taught in a home-school environment, in youth groups or small groups, or even simply as family viewing and learning together. It is not a finished set. There are two additional kits planned for the future. It is a wonderful resource to have and to use. This kit was provided to me for review by Tyndale House Publishers.
	Wonderful Foundation for Development of a Christian Worldview  May 7, 2010
Recently I was thrilled to receive this Does God Exist? kit featuring Dr. Stephen Meyer. In this intellectually engaging DVD series Dr. Meyer leads a classroom of young people to examine four different worldviews, pitting each philosophy's postulations about whether there is meaning to life and whether God exists against one another. A classroom full of college students interact with Dr. Meyer as well as numerous short video clips from important figures with the scientific and philosophical movements covered. Topics covered include the Big Bang Theory, DNA, the God Hypothesis, Intelligent Design and the Moral Necessity of Theism. Dr. Meyer ably and wittily discusses each philosophical movement, providing youth with much stimulating content for later discussion. Some topics are covered in 2 or 3 parts, and this kit contains ten lectures consisting of 30 minute segments on two DVDs. Dave Stotts, the host of the Drive Through History series, introduces and summarizes major points from each lecture. An included 64 page paperback manual contains overviews of each lecture, memorable quotes and photographs from the video lectures, and discussion questions for each video segment. Targeted to teens entering college, this kit would also prove valuable for college-aged young people as well as those not entering college, perhaps in a Sunday School classroom or small group Bible study or even as the basis for a homeschooling co-op. It is perhaps best used in an environment in which young people may discuss and interact together. Although this set seems to be more of a "starting point" than a comprehensive curriculum, it is certainly an excellent foundation. Two additional DVD sets are planned to round out this series. I am looking forward to including these DVD series within my children's high school curricula in the "Worldviews" category. They well serve their intended purpose of providing today's youth the tools they need to defend their own faith.
