Bob Liv You obviously have people reviewing the show with preconceived ideas which they have no intention of changing. With the above noted reviews it goes both ways but I must say I would go so far as to say periphilla possibly didn't even watch the program as he had already made up his mind. It was an interesting documentary, great scenery, worth while seeing. Like all documentaries they have their own spin but I did not find it outlandish by any stretch of the imagination.If you watch this film with an open mind it does get it's point across that

sikkemak Throughout the documentary, and interspersed with beautiful footage of the places to which it refers and several re-enactments, leading evolutionist and creationist scholars present their understanding of Darwin's challenges. The viewer is left questioning the validity of Darwin's theory, and wondering whether there is a better "grand narrative" than evolution, with which to understand life and origins. The documentary does not present itself as a creationist production. The Voyage can serve well as a discussion starter in the context of an apologetics or science context dealing with origins, and is recommended for such purposes. (Pre-) college students and their parents, and those with similar interests can benefit from discussing the documentary–and should count on delving deeper into the issues it presents.

exilebay Being used to hard hitting Creation videos and presentations, I was surprised at the mild approach of this documentary. The film makers took great pains to put Darwin and his ideas in the context of the era in which he lived. This was a time when Darwin would not have been able to benefit from what we now know about the complexity of life, such as the complex protein-based machinery contained within a single living cell. This documentary clearly showed that while Darwin's ideas were not original, he did bring together his observations in a unique way. Sometimes he did not have enough information to draw the correct conclusion, and sometimes he was simply bent on showing that uniformitarianism could explain all life on earth. Yet after a lifetime of study, Darwin failed to formulate a reasonable hypothesis as to how life arose in the first place.This was a very balanced documentary, but the viewer will have to listen carefully to the arguments because the producers will not hit you over the head with the evidence showing that Darwin "missed the boat" when he sailed on the Beagle.

nwwatts As one who has studied Darwinism as well as opposing views for 40 years, I felt that this was a brave and yet balanced attempt to give some perspective to the issues at stake. Darwin was not without his faults and his theory has many weaknesses which are acknowleged by honest scientist who are rabid bigots against any dissenting view. The film portrays Darwin sensitively and yet does not shrink from showing that there is credibility in the arguments which point out the weaknesses in his theory. Besides all this the film is beautifully produces and very entertaining. A must see for those interested in history and in breaking through the "politically correct" barriers that normally prevent discussion of anything contrary to the accepted Darwinist mantra.
