Today, most scientists and philosophers claim that Earth is an ordinary speck of dust adrift, without purpose orsignificance in a vast cosmic sea. This idea (popularized bythe late astronomer, Carl Sagan) is an outgrowth of the naturalistic philosophy that has dominated science for thepast 150 years. Yet, remarkable evidence—unveiled by contemporary astronomy and physics—may now tell a verydifferent story. This fascinating documentary proves beyondreason that the earth was not a mistake, that evolution is a fallacy, and that God did orchestrate creation and ultimatelymankind. Earth is revealed as far more than the product oftime, chance, and random natural processes.
Use this video as a witnessing tool and to open up conversation with unsaved friends and loved ones…it is ourspecial love gift to you this month for your faithful support of this vital ministry.
