Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2017

All my Christian life ( 40 years ) I guess I just did not give much real honest consideration to the creation story. Sort of left it in the back of my mind and figured somewhere between the darwinists and the young earth creationists there was a compromise. Most likely YOU are in that boat right now. I encourage you to look into all the times Christ spoke of Noah and Moses. No. Really look at them. Then buy or rent this movie. You NEED to see this movie. Along with many of the great free videos on You Tube showing what a farce darwinism is and how the whole 'scientific' world is lying through their teeth.

this is a biased movie

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2021

I had hoped for a thoughtful contrast presenting both views between creationism versus evolution,
I did NOT find it. It was evident from how things where presented that the host had one view, creationism.
I am so disappointed in this. The one sided presentation was unfair to the audience. The producers of this show were no better than someone presenting only the other side of the argument.

Yahweh Ishishekhinah

The Creator Being Eternity Exists without religion.

The production of was well made, which is good. What I didn't like about it: It was made only from a "Religious Christian Faith Standpoint", which dinies Scientific Evidence of the little knowledge that we do know. Genisis is based on the 6,000 years of Creation, as taught by Christianity; Yet few people know the truth that the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament are both Literary Ancient Books based not on real History, but on Metaphors of those eras. Israel's greatest Archaeologist today conclude that there was no Historical Evidence for events such as Noah's Ark, a story taken from the "Sumerian Culture", as well as a real physical jewish messiah, born to be a real historical human - blood - atonement, saving people from wrong doing (sin). Murderers, thieves, Rapists still exist, their natures has not changed, after thousands of years, all around the world. Historically, there was no Moses, the Law Giver, that's a Literary Story formulated by powerful Secret Societies. Chritianity worships "Blood Shed" (bloody murder), not the real Masculine, INFINITE Creator Being of the Spirit Worlds and Physical Universes. Y.E.I.

Boring and hard to pay attention to

Though I agree with everything explained on this blue ray, it is incredibly dry and hard to pay attention to especially when the narrator is constantly giving his reassuring grunts and mutters to the person interviewed with "uh huh, mmmm, uh hum, mmm, yes, uh huh, oh, uh huh, uh huh, hmmmm, yes, uh huh, oh, uh huh, right, oh, yes, uh hmm" like... bro...this is supposed to be a professional project giving an argument for CREATION! Keep your thoughts and mutterances to YOURSELF especially when you're charging $23 for this! Oh my gosh! I should have just rented it on Amazon prime🙄

Based on faulty assumptions.

It propagates a theory of a Global flood that has caused all the geological and biological changes.
No testable experiments to date have been done to show such evidence.

Based on poor exegesis of the Holy Scriptures a whole system of young earth beliefism is out there.

Basically just propaganda

There isn't any realistic science involved in this thing, just a handwave mention of it before the bias shows through.

When I place the disk in the player it shows the preview first and then it will not move on to the feature. I would love to correct the problem and see the movie.

Better than some, but still presents a false dichotomy

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2019

The film Is Genesis History is probably the most-discussed creationist documentary in several years. It is reasonably well-produced, easy to follow, and covers a lot of ground, including topics from geology, paleontology, biology, and astronomy. It also has a refreshingly congenial tone—in contrast to the more combative style of some other creationist authors.

With that said, this film still presents the origins debate as a simple dichotomy: atheistic naturalism vs young-earth creationism. In assuming that there is only one “Biblical” view of origins, it ignores the many Christians throughout the last two millennia who have read Genesis differently, and the many Christians working in the sciences who find the young-earth perspective to be both unconvincing and unnecessary.

The scientific evidence presented is also fairly selective. One speaker mentions the flat sedimentary layers in the Grand Canyon—implying that there must not have been enough time between layers for erosion—but leaves out the fact that there actually are significant erosional features between some of these layers. Another suggests that Mt St Helens illustrates how geologic processes can occur quickly, but fails to recognize that geologists already know this and have methods for distinguishing rapid from slow processes.

One particularly misleading graph shows T. rex and triceratops silhouettes with lines extending from the late Jurassic to the late Cretaceous, to emphasize that these animals did not change once they appeared in the fossil record. The problem is that both of these animals actually did change: the earlier ceratopsians and tyrannosaurids were very different from triceratops and T. rex, and the latter are found only in the late Cretaceous.

Overall, while this documentary is well put together and strikes an appropriate tone, it leaves out crucial information about both science and the Bible, and needlessly links Christianity to some poorly-developed ideas about young-earth creationism.

Nice try. Comes up short.

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2020

I'm science trained person and formerly a fairly devout Episcopalian. I've also battled politely with "The Discovery Institute" over the years. This smacks of their fast & loose "science" which, without rigorous experimental testing of their various hypotheses, followed by replication & peer review, is sloppy and doesn't persuade me.
I'm not closed to the possibility of a divine creative force underlying mankind & the cosmos, I just don't think Genesis even comes close to explaining it. To me, Christianity is obviously a contrived attempt to explain thunder, lightning & other assorted natural phenomena in scriptural terms.
I also respect people that are sincerely questing for answers.
