- Don't Waste your Money on this DVD
- I personally thought that this DVD was a big waste of money. I bought it under the impression from others here and from the product label that it presented a honest view of the Christian viewpoint of how the Earth was made. Instead, it set up the biblical view at the beginning, and then made you feel like an uninformed if you believed in creation. It then had the gall to admit within five minutes later that there was still controversary on how the oceans were created, so if you expect an honest viewpoint you are not going to get it here. Instead this DVD is basically a short cliff notes version of a College 101 Physical Geology textbook as it attempts to cram 16 weeks of lecture material into 90 minutes. If I had not taken such a class within the past year, I would have been lost within the first few minutes since the DVD assumes you have a basic understanding of physical geology and what the main theories are, but for a balanced viewpoint of how the Earth was made, this DVD falls short of all reality in that endeavor.

- An interesting subject, our planet...
- Loved this one, as it went into more detail about the planet itself.I'm glad these are coming out as it has been hard to find anything on Geology, or about Earth in general that doesn't confine itself solely to the animal kingdom in one form or another.

- Great content, horrible packaging
- For some reason the creators of this documentary thought it would be a good idea to package the DVD in 100% post-consumer recycled material. As a result, it looks and feels of extremely poor quality, and the packaging will not withstand the slightest bit of wear and tear.
If they wanted to improve my opinion of post-consumer goods they colossally failed.
The quality of the actual content of the DVD is excellent, however.
When I buy a DVD, I expect to be able to store it with my other DVDs, but in this case, I'm going to need to throw the original packaging away and find an actual plastic case so that it can go on the shelf without being squished. - 2008-10-13, 2 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Awesome explanation of the earth's manufacture
- Interesting and scientific explanation of the Earth's beginnings and including the next philosophized stage of existence. Great visuals and narration. Saw it on the History Channel and had to have it for my own DVD library.
