It goes against what the religious beliefs that many of us are taught. The video does not explain any of the occurances taking place but gives a visual presentation of what is unanimous throughout the science community. I believe if this video is shown to children while they are still in the adolescent stages of their development, it will stick with them. The visuals and chosen and the processes that occur through out the video explain why and how everythin is here and living. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=759141 National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCIS).
