EVO

Evolution is the recombination and mutation of genes that when joined with the constant shifting of water and land masses produces diversity. Charles Darwin figured this out and wrote about it more than 150 years ago. His theory has been challenged for nearly as long. The scientific community, however, sees no controversy. Acknowledging that a pot does not make a potter and presuming that God by whatever name designed the process, filmmaker Feldman puts the commonly acknowledged evolution vs. creationism debate aside and tackles more complex questions of the mechanics, uses, and future of evolutionary research. Peppy music and appropriate, clever animation move interviews with scientists and scholars through the ten detailed discussions too deep for one viewing. While suitable for all ages, this program would be most appreciated by a thinking audience of upper-level high school and college students or an adult study group. Highly recommended.—Diane W.
