There may well be a Creator, but this documentary argues from ignorance and begs a lot of questions. The negative evidence presented says, "Whenever we don't know the how, God remains a viable explanation." That's the God of the Gaps. The argument of Irreducible Complexity also appeals to ignorance. "We don't know how the flagellum could've evolved. It's so remarkable only an Intelligent Designer could've come up with it." First, I don't know if the premise is true. Second, it begs the question, "Why would an Intelligent Designer give the most efficient mechanism in the universe (as one scientist describes it) to bacteria? One scientist points out that the earth is uniquely positioned for discovery. How does he know? Perhaps if we'd developed in a different part of the universe, we might have developed far more effective receptors than sight and hearing, both of which only detect a small bandwidth. They said DNA is too remarkable to have evolved, but if it was an intelligent design, why does every creature have so much junk DNA? Why would an omnipotent God care if we learn about him through science, especially since science has squeezed God out of so much of the picture? The fine tuning of the universe for life is compelling, but this may be the only possible universe, and if it was created for life, why was it only fine tuned for this infinitesimally small dust speck we call Earth? One scientist says that asking, "Who created God?" avoids the question of whether the universe was designed, but atheists only ask it to refute the creationist premise that everything that exists must have a cause. It was a compelling documentary, but mostly it argues that scientists haven't pushed a Creator out of the picture yet. That may be so, but unknown is not unknowable, and since no one can prove the non-existence of anything, a Creator may always be out there. The point is to keep observing and not to say, "Well, you just don't know for sure, do you?"
