Moody Institute of Science Vintage Videos

The Moody Institute of Science educational films series are a collection of exceptionally produced vintage science films. These films take a comprehensive and holistic look at several interesting phenomenons and creatures found in the natural world. Each topic is scientifically explained which is then applied to creation - namely the Creator God. These films always keep on eye on the future while remembering the lessons of the past and seem well ahead of their time.

	A Fish Family - The complete reproduction cycle of the blue acara fish is pictured. Included are the processes of preparing the nest, egg laying, fertilization, care during incubation, nursery construction, transporting hatchlings to nurseries and guarding the young. Close family relationship of the blue acara is emphasized.

	City of Bees - You're about to visit an incredible city. Where everyone has a job. A place where there's no need for hospitals or retirement homes. The organized, efficient City of the Bees. You'll learn how these amazing insects live and work. You'll see their police patrols, sanitation squads, and air conditioning systems. And you'll begin to grasp their language, as you watch worker bees describe the direction and the distance of their latest nectar find. You'll be amazed at the harsh law of the hive, which leaves no room for the sick or unproductive members. And you'll find out why God's design for human relationships is vastly different from His system for bees.
	Dust or Destiny - Fish that lay eggs on dry land. Birds that navigate for thousands of miles without a map or compass. Bats that swoop through total darkness without the slightest bump in the night.

And learn how each of them gives fervent testimony to the fact that this planet was not formed from ordinary dust. But from the loving hands of a living God.
	Empty Cities - This 30 minute video is well worth your time. Watch for yourself this powerful history lesson and see why the cities and nations of the world have fallen and are now jungles.
	Experience With an Eel - The electric eel lives in the fresh waters of the Amazon Basin. It can give an electrical discharge capable of killing a horse. This eel can locate fish by means of "radar," then captures its prey by knocking it out with a violent shock of electricity. In Experience With an Eel, Dr. Irwin Moon and his lab assistants demonstrate the eel's electrical shocking power. The study of the electric eel helps to answer many questions concerning the relationship of science and the Word of God.
	Facts of Faith - Would you believe that heat isn't hot? Steel can float in mid-air? And even the most solid substances aren't really solid at all? In Facts of Faith, you'll watch one million volts of electricity blaze through a man's body. And witness a whole series of sophisticated scientific experiments all designed to demonstrate some powerful spiritual truths, such as, what faith is and how you can have it.

This all-time Moody favorite explores the power and beauty of the universe we live in. You'll see the food "factories" that plants use. And you'll peer through a telescope into the vast reaches of space, while you ponder the God who put the galaxies in place. The same God who gave His Life for us on the cross.
	God of The Atom - Energy, the equivalent of mass; a radical conception, key to the atomic age. The idea expressed in E=MC² is actually quite simple. But it has caused a great revolution in scientific thinking. It means any object, a desk, a pencil, a piece of paper, just any bit of matter represents an unbelievable amount of energy. God of the Atom addresses man's spiritual bankruptcy and his need for regeneration.
	Hidden Treasures - You don't have to visit the museum to find priceless works of art. Stunning jewels. Or riches untold. Just look around you. In Hidden Treasures, you'll explore the intricate beauty of a simple snow crystal. Swim the crowded ocean within a single drop of seawater. Marvel at a desert flower too tiny for the sharpest eye to see. And in the end, you'll learn how the greatest treasure of all is to meet the Creator of all you behold and know Him as your own, heavenly Father.
	Invisible Forces - Dr. Moon demonstrates some invisible forces you cannot see but are REAL. Just because you cannot see something does not mean it is not there.
	Journey of Life - Witness a fantastic voyage through floods, fire, and storms. A valiant struggle for survival against impossible odds. All performed by a perfectly ordinary, yet truly remarkable creation: the simple seed. But Journey of Life is more than a fascinating look at God’s design for growing plants. It’s also a wonderful picture of the most important voyage of all, the journey of the living seed of God’s Word, taking root in human hearts. This highly acclaimed video urges us to examine our lives. And to look beyond present struggles to the promise of eternal life.
	Mystery of The Three Clocks - The human brain. The cicada or “seventeen-year locust.” Chemicals reacting to one another. These three very different things have built-in “alarm clocks.” Mystery of the Three Clocks presents a set of laboratory experiments based upon the mystery of these three "clocks,", introduces the “will of man” and concludes that although man can make his own choice, he cannot control the result of that choice.
	Of Books and Sloths - The sloth. Nature’s champion sluggard. One of the most misunderstood animals in the world. As recent as a century ago, the sloth was regarded as a “blunder of nature.” To capture this story, the Moody Institute of Science did research in the laboratory and in the jungles of Panama. The message, Of Books and Sloths, points out the dependability and the accuracy of the Scriptures as compared with man's writings that must be constantly revised to correct inaccuracies.
	Prior Claim - An unsuspecting insect is lured by a sweet scent. Suddenly the jaws of a carnivorous plant clamp shut. It's dinnertime for the Venus Fly Trap. Long before man invented traps to capture his food, these carnivorous plants were putting them to work. In fact, many of man's most ingenious inventions have been borrowed from God's original designs in nature. In Prior Claim, you'll explore the world of the trap-door spider, the archer fish, the rattlesnake, and many other fascinating animals that reflect the inventive genius of God. And you'll see how the Creator has prior claim not only on ideas and inventions, but also on human lives.

	Signposts Aloft - A tiny plane is lost in the clouds. The struggling pilot banks a turn to escape the dense cloud cover. His senses deceive him, telling him the plane has stopped turning. So he turns harder. But the nose drops. Speed picks up. And suddenly he's caught in a downward spiral, a graveyard spin. In Signposts Aloft, you'll find out how man's senses can be fooled in flight. You'll see experiments that dramatically illustrate the problems pilots and astronauts face. And you'll learn why man needs outside guidance from God, just as pilots need to place faith in their instrument panels.
	The Wonder of Reproduction - Defines the amazing reproduction process in nature.
	Time and Eternity - Say, do you like mystery stories? The mystery is time. The haunted house is space. In this true story, the ghosts travel at the speed of light...and they come straight out of the past...your past. In Time and Eternity, you're going to explore the mystery of time in the laboratory. Using a super high-speed camera nicknamed a "time microscope" and a time-lapse camera, Dr. Irwin Moon teaches about time. The reality of eternity is seen as a scientific fact. An infinite God of time, space and eternity offers the solution to life's one absolute, the necessity of forgiveness.
	Ultimate Adventure - Scorching sun, danger, and injury.

	Where The Waters Run - As a roaring river, it rushes over rapids and falls. It drops from the sky in delicate snowflakes, and pounds the ground in hailstones. It fills our ice trays and provides power for electricity. Water is the vital compound we need for life. Take a fresh look at this natural resource and you'll find out why ice floats when most frozen substances sink. And how water rises in the trunks of trees, working against the pull of gravity. And how God's supply of Living Water is the difference between spiritual life and death.
