Life and death of a star. [videorecording]
The birth of a star is a spectacular event, as gravity brings together massive molecular clouds over millions of years to create these enormous galactic furnaces. The "Life and death of a star" compresses the events of billions of years into minutes, using computer imagery to show the lifespan of these massive, heavenly fireballs as they expand, contract, and finally burn out, often in stunning supernova explosions...

Origin [videorecording] how did life on earth begin? by Illustra Media (Firm);
With spectacular computer animation and cutting-edge research, "Origin" examines a question that baffled science for centuries: How did life on Earth begin? Today, most researchers insist it arose through simple chemistry that - without direction or plan - transformed inanimate matter into the first living cell. Yet, this explanation is devoid of evidence and unsatisfying, even to its most ardent supporters. As "Origin" exposes the flaws of materialistic theories, you will travel through a molecular universe to encounter extraordinary biological engineering fundamental to the survival of every organism that has ever existed. Engineering that points clearly to intelligence and mind.DVD.
