The Privileged Planet

THE PRIVILEGED PLANET, utilizing stunning computer animation, interviews with leading scientists, and spectacular images of Earth and the cosmos, explores a startling connection between our capacity to survive and our ability to observe and understand the universe. Is this correlation merely a coincidence? Or does it point to a deeper truth about purpose and intelligent design within the cosmos?
THE PRIVILEGED PLANET is based on the book with the same title by Jay Richards and Guillermo Gonzalez. Production began in October 2002 and was completed in June 2004. The documentary presents the Richards/Gonzalez hypothesis that the Earth was designed to both sustain complex life and enable scientific discovery.

  1. Imagine the knowledge you’d have to have to get everything absolutely perfect. If that isn’t mind blowing enough, now imagine the power you’d need to create it all. It’s completely incomprehensible how great our God is. The human mind just doesn’t have the capacity to understand it. “The universe is so big there has to be other life out there.” I get that all the time from a lot of people. Just had a conversation about it earlier. My answer is always the same. Do I believe there are other life forms, aliens etc? No, I do not. The person then asked, don’t you think that’s a waste of space if we are alone? That we agree on. If it was just a home for you and me then I’d say it’s a little oversized. BUT….what if it’s primary purpose wasn’t just a home for you and me, but to show off the majesty and the knowledge and the power and the wonder of the God who created it all? It’s not so much of a waste of space then. I think the How great thou art song nailed it the best. “Thy power throughout the universe displayed.” Just my opinion…

  2. READING COMMENTS– I MUST REMIND ALL TO SPECIFY " THE GOD OF THE BIBLE"- IT IS A CRITICAL POINT TO NOT OMIT. because we know that man has created many of his own gods; so many non-believers think they are all the same- we know different.

  3. Unbelievers are truly "blinded by Satan" ( 2 Cor 4:4) not to see the Glory of God in all creation. Bless you for producing this wonderful video.

  5. David, a young sheep herder once prophesied (filled with holy spirit) Psalms 139:16 Your (God) eyes even saw me as an embryo; All its parts were written in your book Regarding the days when they were formed, Before any of them existed.
    Jesus Apostle John, filled by holy spirit said in his book Revelation 4:11 “You are worthy, Jehovah* our God, to receive the glory+ and the honor+ and the power,+ because you created all things,+ and because of your will they came into existence and were created.”

  8. The word "coincidence" keeps coming up in this video. I love the expression, "Coincidence is God's way of staying anonymous."
    That the planet that supports life also supports study of the universe is no coincidence. "the Heavens declare the Glory of God." It seems clear to me that this was designed- the purpose to let the study of the universe lead men in awe to it's Creator.
