Movie: "The Mysterious Islands"

Thursday (Sebastian K) and Friday (Panzacola F-3)
“The Mysterious Islands”: A Surprising Journey to Darwin’s Eden At the far end of the world, there exists a strange and unusual chain of islands, resting above vast tectonic plates in the ocean below. This is the world of the Galapagos Archipelago. Here, in 1835, a young Charles Darwin began to formulate a theory that would turn the world upside down. Now, for the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth and the 150th of his magnum opus, On the Origin of Species, Doug Phillips leads a 
team of Christian scientists and investigators to this “ground zero” in the war of worldviews. Seen through the eyes of 16-year-old Joshua Phillips, who joins his father and noted researchers like Dr. John Morris of the Institute for Creation Research, The Mysterious Islands is the story of one boy’s search for answers to the greatest controversy of the modern world.
