Good Christian worldview nature videos?

Post by MelInKansas » Wed Apr 11, 2012 2:19 pm

Does anyone know of a good video series that would be good elementary school level for my kids? Video time is a little more a part of our days now with the new little guy and my children LOVE nature videos but of course most of the ones from the library or wherever else have such a naturalistic worldview. I'm sure someone out there has made some excellent Biblical worldview nature videos I just need to find them.

Thanks!

I just found the "Nature of God" series by Peter Schriemer, has anyone seen those?

We love The Wonders of God's Creation Vol 1-6. If you search around for them on the internet, you can find them for less than $10 for the entire set (over 10 hours long). Oh yeah, they are by Moody :)

Abundantmom,
Would you mind sharing where you found them for less than $10? I looked at amazon and they were over $30, and CBD had them for almost $40! If you'd mind sharing where we could find them cheaper, I'd really appreciate it! :D

Thanks for the recommendation for good God honoring nature films! :wink:

I like the stuff by Answers in Genesis. They are very strongly young-earth so as long as you are of that persuasion I think you'll like their stuff. It isn't cheap, but I'd say it's a sound investment.

Yes, young earth is definitely what I would be looking for, thanks for that recommendation!

Seems like I saw a video that talked about DNA and things like that, was that from Answers in Genesis? We watched it in a small group I was in so I don't remember at all even what it was called.

Now I'm looking at them and they look more like maybe Apologetics videos than nature videos??? I see there's a preschool curriculum and then these ones called "The New Answers" which seem like maybe they are for older kids than mine?

I found some of the Answers In Genesis ones on their website. They actually have several you can view, I wonder if its the whole show or just a preview (also the resolution is really low). Thanks again, definitely some good ones to look into here!

Maybe you saw these on the Answers in Genesis website, but there is a children's DVD pack with videos on creation, dinosaurs, etc.

Life's Story is a really good DVD. Its goal is to refute evolution, so it does talk about evolution as it's impossible that, say, a dolphin could have evolved, since it would have drowned in any "transitional" form. (I just mention that in case you don't want a video that mentions evolution at all.)
Blessings,

Sorry. :( you have to be a member of at least the streaming. We don't have cable or dish or an y channels so Netflix and hulu plus are our fallbacks. :)

That's okay! :D It's a DVD that I've been thinking of buying for a while and was just wondering if I could "try before I buy" through Netflix. We'll probably purchase it at some point...
