This is a movie where a student visits a natural history museum. She questions the Docent who is explaining the supposed evolution of man from apes. It's a fascinating insight into the lengths to which evolutionists will go to push their claims. Evolutionists should not watch this. Darwin's house of cards is torn down with truth and facts.

I've watched about the first 10 minutes, to get a sense of what kind of movie this is. That is, is it documentary? fiction? a biologist's PowerPoint presentation from a conference?

And now I know the genre: it is fiction. As we watch, it's important to remember that the person we see on screen as the docent is not an evolutionary biologist. He is an actor, performing lines that were written for him by creationists. If the docent struggles to answer a question, it is because the script was written that way.

So, the movie is useful as a presentation of a creationist point of view, but it should not be mistaken for an actual debate between a college student and a research biologist.

The points made by the student are factual. I thought the way it was presented reasonable enough. I've heard a number of the refutations of supposed evidence for evolution from other sources. The information is public domain, including wild claims that a handful of bones are proof of a "missing link" in the evolutionary process.

of course, the video is biased as it's a dramatization and goal-driven to refute evolution so it's no surprise it reaches it's goal. A similar video could be made from the evolutionist side with a different perspective with all the hesitations from the student, and be as equally convincing but laying doubt on creationism. The challenges from student to docent can certainly be warranted but in a scientific vacuum the conclusions are not going to be human evolution is false, but rather the collected evidence isn't conclusive. instead, skulls like Lucy show an example of an evolutionary outcome even if lucy was not a part of that history, science can be fine with this because of the strong evidence of evolution on a broader scale which is inferred over humans and evidence is sought after to fill in the gaps. This may produce flawed results but it doesn't mean the theory of evolution itself is flawed.

It is important however to call out unsupported or false claims, if lucy is one of them then indeed call it out, but erasing a chalkboard of evidence doesn't refute evolution, it just disqualifies the presented evidence as a part of that history. We could be tempted to point to a literal biblical account as the answer, but, the biblical account would have to go under the same scientific scrutiny and would also break down as unsupported. Imagine a similar video at a bible college with a professor teaching creation using Gen 1 and a student refuted each claim based on scientific scrutiny. The results may conclude creation is false and then implicitly evolution is real but what it actually has done is just show the creation account breaks down under scientific scrutiny and nothing else.

so in the end you might get 2 empty chalkboards, one for the evidence for the human evolutionary chain and the other for creationism. and both may not be supported by scientific scrutiny. This doesn't assume one over the other, it means we don't have good support for either. The creationist will continue to fill in the gaps with their imagination and the evolutionist will do the same with their imagination.
