 Evolution: The Grand Experiment to show on Direct TV Nov. 5th Source - Press Release Did whales walk on the land? Did dinosaurs fly? Is this the dawn of the theory of evolution? Or, is this the waning hours of a theory in its final throws? AVC Films controversial documentary, Evolution: The Grand Experiment, dealing with the viability of the theory of evolution, will be shown in prime time on Direct TV this Thursday, November 5th (Channel 378) 8PM Central Time. The release of the documentary coincides with the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of Species November 24th, 2009. The program documents that many of the best current scientific evidences for the theory of evolution, including "dinosaurs with feathers," "walking whales" and "flying dinosaurs" are fraudulent, or are the result of overzealous scientists creating evidence to support the theory of evolution. Confessions of creating intermediate links, by some of the most prominent evolutionary scientists living today, expose the problems of the theory of evolution in a most dramatic way: With video tapes rolling, the story unfolds before the filmmakers (and the television audience), with the most uncomfortable feeling imaginable. Filmed in three continents and seven countries over a 12-year period, the program has highlights from 12 dig sites, 60 museums, and many universities. The show is narrated by Andres Williams of London, with music from British film music composer Simon Wilkinson. The presentation is unusual in that nearly all of the scientists interviewed support evolution but acknowledge the evidence is lacking in their area of expertise or they created it. Executive Producer The executive producer of the series, Dr. Carl Werner, received his undergraduate degree in biology, with distinction, at the University of Missouri, graduating summa cum laude. He is the author of the Evolution: The Grand Experiment book series. |
