Few animals in the living world are more intriguing and beloved than elephants. Beyond their size and power, they are endowed with impressive intelligence, memory, and manual dexterity. Their trunks (equipped with more than 40,000 individual muscles) are marvels of biological engineering and the subject of this fascinating short video.
The Elephant's TrunkEnter a living human cell to discover a world of unimaginable precision, complexity and design. Measuring less than 2/1000th of an inch in diameter, the cell is packed with molecular machinery that makes life possible. These microscopic wonders include our DNA – the genetic code. Through extraordinary computer animation you’ll discover how the more than 18 trillion feet of DNA in your body is organized, stored and processed.
18 Trillion feet of YouCharles Darwin once wrote that the sight of a male peacock’s tail made him physically ill. Why? Because he knew that the gratuitous beauty so prevalent throughout the living world points unmistakably to intelligent design, foresight and plan. Explore the artistry and stunning implications of natural colors, patterns, and ornamentation in the animal and plant kingdoms that exist for a purpose beyond mere survival.
Beauty, Darwin, and DesignIn 1941, work on Mt. Rushmore was completed in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The colossal monument—featuring the faces of four presidents—is a silent testimony to American history, the spirit of democracy and something more. You see, this brilliant work of art also conveys a message that—if we will listen carefully--reveals a principle that underlies the creation of the entire universe and the life it contains: engineering, meticulous planning and foresight are not only required for the successful creation of an iconic sculpture--but also, for the origin and complexity of life on Earth.
