I recently bought this product because i have all the others and apart from the story of moses - i love this series and have been able to use it to teach and share bible truths with my 4 year old daughter. Now i have no problem with artistic liberties and interpretation , in fact i expect them but this garden of eden went too far and I certainly do not recommend it to anyone who thinks the Bible is God's word and who choses to believe God. Here Are some of my issues

1) in the bible the serpent is describe as most subtle of the cattle - it was a four footed animal before the curse of being placed on its belly not a six footed one as depicted in the DVD. Further it seemed to me that Serpent spoke because he was being used as agent of Lucifrer to decieve Eve and Adam to effect the fall of mankind. this message is crtical to the gospel and it is a message that is shown in other areas of scriptue - this is totally lost in a story where all the animals can talk.

2) In the DVDS' creation story striped fish jump a shore and become tigers - and quite interestingly the DVD then goes on to frequently give many close-ups of tigers throughout the movie though they are doing nothing but walking around. This is to use the power of the subliminal message to anchor home EVOLUTION right there in the CREATION story - you have got to be kidding me!!!!!! My daughter noticed it at once and asked me why a fish is turing into a tiger. I told her God created tigers and that the DVD is showing a lie.

3) eve appears to be created nearly a week after Adam - that is not what the bible suggests as it suggests that they were both there for the first sabbath with God - what Chapter two of genesis does is to offer further details about how God made both man and woman - and for that matter it tells of the connection between man and the animals. Read Genesis chater 1 and see for yourself

4) Oh the other way it sings EVOLUTION is that God made the animals in the sea and birds of the air on the same day - but this movie does not show the birds of the air as being created on that day - why - i can only think becuase that would shoot a whole through the Evoloution Theory - which teached that life began in water. Well, folks i beleive in Creation becuase I know God is real and he is bigger than me and he can sustain and create and call things into being in away that defies my logic - and if we study nature and even the wonder of a baby - we see it every day - we serve a great big mighty and powerful God - and that is a god by definition - he is beyond you - beyond explaining stop trying to box him into to what our finite minds can comprehend.

In short do not show this to your kids if you believe the bible's account of creation and if you believe the bible period.

Disappointing/mediocre

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2007

I agree with the above review about the several problems with this video. I just ordered all 13 dvd's of this series. We watched Jonah last night, and that was a good one. This was was disappointing. I don't understand why these bible series' can't just stick to the story as it is written in scriptures.

1)They have to add all these imaginary things that never happen in real life.

2)In this particular video they added way too much dialog that isn't noted in the scripture, some which is questionable.

3)I totally hated how they didn't follow the scriptures consistantly in this story. They had Adam and Eve name the animals instead of Adam naming them before Eve was created. This was probably done to keep from offending people who are feminists. I hate that kind of stuff with a passion.

4) I did not care for God being an all seeing eye--which is a masonic/cult symbol.

The above review by T. Rose is a good one. If you want to read a very good review, I would point you to read his.
