The movie was essentially a series of presentations by various scientists including geologists, a paleontologist, astronomer, zoologist and a marine biologist (I may be forgetting a few). They each gave a presentation from within their respective areas of expertise as to why the Genesis account with regards to the formation of the earth, the universe and life was a more compelling argument than old earth theories and evolution. The last 15-20 minutes of the film were a number of the scientists in a round table explaining that the time they had in the movie allowed for only a surface presentation and they urged the intellectually curious to research further.
They didn’t seem to entertain the notion of intelligent design, and adhered strictly to more traditional young earth beliefs, but they did fully support the honest application of the scientific method and challenging of their theories and hypotheses and refining those that don’t hold up to scrutiny.
I saw the movie with a friend of mine who is a PhD Geologist and happens to be a strict creationist. He concurred with the presentation which he found totally consistent with his beliefs.
Thanks!

Even if Darwin had never existed, it would be hard to swallow the Genesis accounts of creation, just from the internal evidence of the text itself. Why do you think the creation of the sun was delayed until the fourth day (each of the preceding days having had its “evening” and “morning”)? Also was the first woman created after or before the animals? The two Genesis accounts seem to differ.
