Cambrian Explosion Remains the Gift that Keeps on Giving

The Cambrian Explosion has been on my mind for a long time. I’ve been on the board of Illustra Media since its founding in 1997, and am proud of one of the company’s finest documentaries on intelligent design, Darwin’s Dilemma (2009).
On the subject of that Cambrian classic, I have good news to share. It has been behind a paywall for 17 years — unless you speak a foreign language. Versions in German and Mandarin Chinese have been on Illustra’s YouTube channel since 2019, but English speakers could only buy the DVD or stream it. That all changed this year. The excellent full-length video, sharing much material with Stephen Meyer’s later New York Times bestselling book Darwin’s Doubt (2013), is now freely available on YouTube. And that’s not all: there are Bonus Features, too...
But Wait; There’s More
Another request I had been making of Lad and Jerry over years was to rescue some of the Bonus Features in their documentaries from the memory hole. Bonus Features were only available on the DVD versions. There were some real gems among them. Jerry went the extra step of uploading a key Bonus Feature from Darwin’s Dilemma: 22 questions about the Cambrian Explosion, biological information, and the positive case for intelligent design, answered by five ID leaders: Douglas Axe, Paul Nelson, Richard Sternberg, Jonathan Wells, and Stephen Meyer. It’s good to revisit the eloquence of our distinguished late colleague Dr. Jonathan Wells.
These short clips, one to four minutes in length, can be very useful for sharing on social media in response to evolutionary claims. Friends of the ID movement will enjoy seeing how these ID spokesmen looked back in the day! And now, the Q&A features from Unlocking are up, too.
