The Mysterious Islands

Filmmaker and evolutionary biologist Randy Olson tries to figure out if it is the Darwinists or Intelligent Design supporters who will become a flock of dodos.

Darwin's great insight – that life has evolved over millions of years by natural selection – has been the cornerstone of all David Attenborough’s natural history series. In this documentary, he takes us on a deeply personal journey which reflects his own life and the way he came to understand Darwin’s theory.

Pro-intelligent design scholars and scientists are often chastised, fired or denied tenured positions by those who believe in Darwin's theory of evolution.

In the deep ocean, where darkness reigns, scientists uncover a hidden world that sustains life on Earth. From extraordinary creatures to invisible microbial processes, the abysses play a crucial role in regulating the climate and ocean balance. But as the race for deep-sea minerals intensifies, this fragile ecosystem is under threat. A breathtaking journey into the largest, and least known, environment on our planet.

The story of Darwin's finches and their relationship with other creatures of the Galapagos; tracing their evolution, how the islands were formed and how it's main inhabitants got there.

If you want to know what the scientists know about evolution, then here it is. An enormous breadth of information, assimilated, compressed, and congealed into an easily understood, visually irresistible presentation. "Facts Of Evolution" has layer upon layer of evidence that makes common descent and macroevolution inescapable.

Follow a group of researchers traveling to Darin Island determined to track sharks and learn their migration patterns. To do so, they must strategically place tracking devices on the beasts, which proves to not always be easy. Dangerous currents intervene and the sharks can deliver bone-crushing swipes with their tails. Find out how the sharks and scientists fare! Distributed by XiveTV.

For Millions of years, our planet has been floating in space. Millions of creatures have lived on its surface. Many a quaint being was among them, but they affected only our, human imagination, for in the evolutionary struggle we are the only ones who have obtained the advantage of reason.

The long running, often bitter scientific debate over the origin of birds and the evolution of flight.

A whale existed 5 million years ago. Mark found her skeleton and decided to reassemble the pieces in a dusty basement of the Science Museum in Brussels. A filmmaker found Mark and decided to film him, the whale, and the dust. While these bones are put back together, like pieces from a puzzle, we try to imagine how life was 5 million years ago, a time before humans existed, but the sea and the sun were already here.

A celebration of the universe, displaying the whole of time, from its start to its final collapse. This film examines all that occurred to prepare the world that stands before us now: science and spirit, birth and death, the grand cosmos and the minute life systems of our planet.
