On the surface, this film may seem like an average biology film, but like most of films from the Moody Institute of Science, there is an ulterior motive. The film’s host Irwin Moon had an interest in science as a child and later incorporated that interest into his life as a pastor. He would tour the country giving his “Sermons of Science” where the marvels of science provide the visible evidence of a Divine plan of creation. His work with GIs during World War II showed him the impact that training films had on the troops. Moon partnered with the Moody Bible Institute to form the Moody Institute of Science – a company that made basic science films with a religious hook at the end. While revealing the complexity of nature, their films would end with Moon saying that this complexity was part of God’s plan rather than evolution. Moody Institute of Science films were marketed to churches and also to public schools where today even the mention of the word “God” sparks a conflagration of protests and court cases.
