It’s rare that a movie produced by Discovery and BBC Films about the natural world doesn’t contain any mention of molecules-to-man evolution or millions of years of history. In fact, it’s almost as if the production companies are joined at the hip with the false view of history, taking every opportunity to promote the idea that the earth is not a product of God’s handiwork.
And yet, with the movie Earth (a trimmed-down version of the documentary series Planet Earth), they demonstrate it can be done. As far as I could tell, there was no mention of “evolution” or “millions of years of history.” And, amazingly enough, the narration starts off with the revelation that the Earth is “just the right distance from the sun” and its “crucial tilt” results in the “rhythm of the seasons” experienced around our globe.
Earth isn’t without an agenda, however. As we watch a family of polar bears frolic playfully on the ice, the narrator (James Earl Jones) intones with the all-too-familiar slogan, “the planet is warming, and the ice is melting earlier than ever.” Later he follows up with, “the rain forests are starting to dry up” and the “deserts are getting bigger every year.” The “save the polar bears” message is clear. While we do have a biblical mandate to take care of all creatures, which includes caring for polar bears and their habitat, alarmism in regards to global warming is tenuous at best and unscientific at least.
As reviewers have pointed out, the photography is stunning, the script is a bit weak, and the score has moments of brilliance. Although it is rated G, some of the predator/prey scenes may border on too intense for the younger crowd...

Ping!
Of course not!! When it comes to the left (and, yes, that DOES include Disney), Scotty beamed us all down here yesterday. There is no past, no future, just now.
IOW, according to the left, we got something from nothing. This is one of the biggest reasons that the left is populated with morons.
Thanks for the ping!
Later he follows up with, “the rain forests are starting to dry up” and the “deserts are getting bigger every year.....ummmmmmmmm, wait. So where exactly is all of that extra water going?
Sorry, I was thinking independently again. I'll just say an even dozen "Hail AlGore"s and go replace an incandescent bulb with a CFL one.
The rain forests are shrinking to grow ethanol producing crops for the tax-subsidized market.
“I find your lack of faith disturbing.”
I want to see this at an iMax.
GGG, have you flipped on your tv set in the last few days? Have you seen the new gum commercial?
How long does the flavor last? Longer than it takes an amoeba to evolve into a skateboarder.
Not kidding.
A gum flavor that lasts forever. Sounds alot like an Everlasting Gobstopper. Yet one more example where truth imitates fiction.
I know this is old news but there is a little known story behind the earth film. The Narration Director is a committed Christian and had a very real influence in the film. He was able to convince Disney to take out all reference to origins, evolution, the Big Bang, ect.
This was common knowledge among his church community.
