It is with great sadness that we have watched the events surrounding the starvation-induced death of Terry Schiavo. At no time in modern history has it been more obvious that the “salt” once prevalent in American society has lost its saltiness. Basic understanding of the Scriptures and deference to the authority of God’s holy Word no longer guide the decision-making processes behind modern courts and communities, or even many “Christian” churches and homes.

This compelling, illustrated lecture was presented by anatomist Dr. David Menton at Answers in Genesis' Defending the Faith conference in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. You have never seen a presentation regarding the value and dignity of human life that is as powerful, and as respectful as this.

Dr. Menton explains that the question is not when does life begin, but when does a person begin? He explains from anatomical science and biology the truth of Psalm 139:13-16 where God says that He weaves us together in the womb. The DVD also illustrates the amazing and intricate design of the womb and the processes of fertilization, implantation, embryonic development and birth itself. Dr. Menton reveals that each of these is a series of miracles (irreducible complexities) that cannot be explained by chance and random processes. Even more important, as Dr. Menton explains with grace and sensitivity in the wrap-up of the video, is the second “birth” process of salvation explained in John 3.
