Our Thoughts

Here’s another interesting DVD from Awesome Science!   Noah Justice has once again delivered a great explanation of biblical evidence in some of the geological wonders in our world.  This time he is bringing us to Yosemite and Zion National Parks – both places that I would love to visit one of these days!   Through this DVD we learned the history of Yosemite National Park and learned that it was one of the first scenic areas of land set aside for the enjoyment of the public.   The view is breathtaking and it’s a wonder how people don’t see the hand of the creator when they visit that place.

Thought this DVD you will learn how the valley is evidence of erosion from a global Flood, how the one and only ice age happened and how long it lasted, and finally you will travel to Zion Canyon to discover its layers, arches and hanging valleys.   We particularly liked the original example of Noah presenting a miniature version of how Zion Canyon have been formed.   This presentation in itself it worth the whole DVD I find.  It was impressive and gave you a new perspective of the global Flood.

You can also get the Study Guide for the video if you want to deepen your learning experience.   Use it to test the knowledge acquire during the video or to simply discuss what has been said.  This specific Study Guide is divided in two major sections representing the two National Parks explored with Noah Justice.  It contains bonus activities, word list to study, fill in the blanks, discussion questions, true/false statements, as well as more information on the concepts learned during the visioning of the DVD.

Once again I am not disappointed with the DVD from Awesome Science and find that these are a great addition to homeschool, school or even personal library. I find it essential that Christians realized how things happened and not be manipulated by evolution thinking. This DVD is geared for children and teens but adults will enjoy it as well. However, I find that my younger kids have more trouble to stay focused during the whole length of the DVD. Besides, Noah uses terminology that might be going over their head. Nevertheless, they are learning while they are watching even if they don’t catch everything at the first time. The videos of Awesome Science are something you can go back to on a regular basis and discover something new out of it.

The DVD is available at your favourite bookstore, even at amazon.com. Unfortunately the DVD is not available on amazon.ca for reasons unknown to me.

The Study Guide can be purchased at amazon.ca or amazon.com.  It is also available for download on the NLPG website.
