Synopsis
Based on the popular book series “Evolution: The Grand Experiment” by Dr. Carl Werner
Did dinosaurs live with modern plants (apple trees, sassafras trees, roses, and rhododendrons and modern animals (ducks, dogs, possums, and humans) thousands of years ago, as the story of creation suggests? Or did dinosaurs live at a remote time, millions of years ago, with other extinct, strange, and unusual animals, as the theory of evolution suggests?
Dr. Carl Werner traveled 160,000 miles to find the answer, visiting 10 dinosaur dig sites and 60 natural history museums. To his surprise, he found examples of all of the major plant divisions and all of the major animal phyla groups living today, fossilized alongside the dinosaurs.
The biggest discovery Dr. Werner made was that some of the most important fossils were not displayed in any of the museums he visited. Have natural history museums withheld these critical fossils from their public displays, fossils that would place the theory of evolution in jeopardy?
This DVD has the feel of a PBS documentary, with British narrator Andres Williams, and contains spectacular underwater footage of Dr. Werner diving at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the coral reefs in the Caribbean Sea, plus footage from dinosaur dig sites in Europe and North America.
Filmed over 13 years on three continents and eight countries including many active dinosaur dig sites, museums and universities.
Plays in all regions throughout the world.
About the Author
In his sophomore year of college, Dr. Carl Werner was challenged by a fellow classmate with these words: “I bet you can’t prove evolution.” Disturbed by his classmate s somewhat poignant criticisms of the theory, Dr. Werner (a biology major at the time) pondered this conversation for some time. From this point, he began his quest for an answer. Driven by his stringent scientific background and exceedingly curious nature, Dr. Werner read and researched every topic he could find on evolution, including geology, biology, paleontology, biochemistry and cosmology. After 18 years of study, Dr. Werner considered himself ready to begin a series of experiments by which to test evolution. For the next 14 years, 1997-2011, Dr. Werner traveled to the best museums and dig sites around the globe photographing thousands of original fossils and the actual fossil layers where they were found.
