Miracle of the Cell, Creation

Evolution

This documentary is an interesting combination of wildlife videography and computer animation.  The material examines in detail the function of a cell, using a spaceship analogy, and the function of the human eye, presenting their complexity as evidence of their creation by God.

Between the two segments, the documentary provides a list of scientists who it says supports the ideas presented.  Only two, Michael Denton and Michael Behe, are quoted.

The only credits for the documentary are given about 1.5 mins into the video, IPCA Islamic Vision and Okur Production.

Evaluation:

There is nothing particularly Islamic about this video, except for the two quotations from the Qurʾān at the end (23:78 and 2:32).  But there is also nothing particularly un-Islamic about it, either.

The science here is accurate up to a point.  However, the theory of irreducible complexity, on which this video is based, has been refuted.  The theory of evolution continues to be refined and discussed by hundreds of scientists, far more than the 9 scientists named in the video (see min 22 to 23) as supporting its Intelligent Design hypothesis.

There is insufficient historical material on which to base an evaluation.
