Moody Institute of Science: Carnivorous Plants - 1955
"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."

Attention! Ne consultez surtout PAS les archives des mois précédents! En effet, je publie tant d'articles par jour que le contenu d'un mois est énorme, et de consulter un mois passé risque de faire crasher votre ordinateur. Utilisez plutôt la fonction "rechercher" et "sur le blog" tout en haut de la page ou la fonction "Search this blog" de Technorati dans la colonne de droite, ou bien la fonction "CATEGORIES". Je suis en train de travailler sur une éventuelle solution pour les archives mensuelles.
Caution! Do NOT consult the archives of past months! Indeed, I post so much every day that the content of any given month is enormous, and to consult any previous month could cause your browser or even your computer to crash. Better use the "search this blog" function - either at the top of the page or the Technorati one in the right-hand column. You could also consult the "CATEGORIES". I am currently working on a possible solution for the monthly archives.
