Munchkin is my future paleontologist if all goes as planned. She has loved all things dinosaur from a very young age. In fact, it was her love of dinosaurs that originally lead us to find the resources from Master Books and Answers in Genesis. I wanted some resources from a biblical viewpoint to balance out all of the evolutionary content of most of the dinosaur resources that we had on hand.
Needless to say, when the Awesome Science series decided to visit Dinosaur National Monument, Munchkin was rather excited. She previously wanted to visit the national monument, but after watching the video, she has decided that we definitely need to take a trip. It also solidified the idea that she really wants to go on a dig.
We’ve been watching the Awesome Science series from the very beginning. It’s been fun watching Noah Justice grow up as the series continues as he and Munchkin are close in age. While much of the original footage was filmed when he was younger, the film has been put together in a manner that shows the footage with an older Noah. When you view the behind the scenes footage, you see a much younger Noah. The bloopers contain footage of both the younger and older Noah. You’ll want to watch the additional footage under the bonus features as it provides even more information as well as some entertainment.
In Explore Dinosaur National Monument with Noah Justice, viewers are given a look at some of the formations and fossils at Dinosaur National Monument from a biblical, seven-day creation viewpoint. It gives an alternative perspective into how the formations and fossils were formed. Just be warned, if you have dinosaur fanatic in your home, they may walk away from this video really wanting to go to the Dinosaur National Monument.
