Using Mr. Dehart, former biology teacher in Burlington, WA., whose using peer-reviewed materials that question evolution, as a backdrop and using many materials based loosely on Johnathan Well's book "Icons of Evolution", the DVD takes the viewer along certian ideas and questionable tactics in the evolution controversy.  Though the paying field is stacked in the favor of those who question evolution, the show's purpose is to balance against the dogma so often taught and viewed in schools and on TV.
First, one clearly identifies teh paralells between the "Scope trial" and Mr. Dehart's position, the difference is that now the fundamentalists are the Darwinian Evolutionists.  Topics discussed are the proper role of a high school science tecaher and thena cursory look at some of the "Icons of Evolution" such as Haekel's drawings, the fruit fly, and Cambrian explosion.  The propducers did an outstanding job in presenting the Cambrian Explosion.
The DVD is of high quality and many of the supports of teaching material critical of evolution are scienctists who themselves are peer-reviewed, college professors in their fields.
The only fault is that the DVD is only 51 minutes and the special features could have been better.  This DVD should have been longer further dealing with other "Icons of Evolution."
