SUMMARY / COMMENTARY:
(This section may be and sometimes is somewhat subjective.)

If Scriptural references appear, the full text appears at the end of the Summary / Commentary.



(2004), NR [G*] -- nothing morally offensive to the video whatsoever.


Production (US): Baby Miracle Learning Company, FlagDay Productions
Distribution (US): Hart Sharp Video, LLC., NYC
Puppet Design and Creation: Patti Broussard, Art in the Dark Puppet Factory
Narration: Araianna Straggas
Music: Pastor Burns Stanfield, Sonya Kim, Nick Green, Christworthproductions.com
Viewed on: Baby Miracle Learning Company DVD


Baby Miracle Volume 1: The Story of Creation distills the complexity of Creation to the level of a toddler and small child using core concepts. Having been "daddy" to 31 kids, most of them toddlers and small children, I can tell you the delivery and cognitive requirements of the presentation and delivery are appropriate for parent-guided toddlers and small children.

There was nothing morally offensive to the video whatsoever. This 33.5-minute video earned a CAP final score of 100.

The six days of Creation presented in Genesis are presented sequentially showing contemporary representative examples of the work God did each day. For example, on the fifth day when God created birds and fish, the producers provide many examples of each accompanied by background music of, in my opinion, appropriate energy. The day-sequence is:

  • Day 1: Light [Gen. 1:1 - 5]
  • Day 2: Sky and water [Gen. 1:6 - 8]
  • Day 3: Land, flowers and trees [Gen. 1:9 - 13]
  • Day 4: Sun, moon and stars [Gen. 1:14 - 19]
  • Day 5: Birds and fish [Gen. 1:20 - 23]
  • Day 6: Animals and people [Gen. 1:24 - 31]
  • Day 7: God rested. [Gen. 2:1 - 4]

    Bright, colorful and lively visuals with carefully timed audio instruction should penetrate into at least the intermediate memory and quite possibly the long-term memory of the typical toddler. This video accomplishes this by speaking the name of an object such as a lion or the sky while the video shows action pictures of it with the text of the name captioned at the bottom of the screen.

    The producers added a special feature at the end of the video called video flashcards of the objects named in the video as structured guided imagery in performance-based learning. The flash cards delay display of the "answer" for a few seconds as your child tries to name the object.

    By the way, that adorable little girl on the cover of the boxart looks exactly like one of our adopted daugthers.

    CHAPTER/VERSE

    None.

    ***Selected Scriptures of Armour against the influence of the entertainment industry***
  • Ps. 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men [e.g., create progressively vile/offensive entertainment with impunity and no consequences to younger and younger audiences every year when enough people continue to defend it, embrace it, pay for it, enjoy it, want it].
  • Col. 2:8 Beware lest any man [by his influence] spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
  • 1 Cor. 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
  • Rom. 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
  • Jude 1:4 For there are certain men* crept in unawares [secretly slipped in among you], who were before of old ordained to this condemnation [whose condemnation was written about long ago], ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness [a license for immorality], and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. [*men: anthropos {anth'-ro-pos}, generic, a human being, whether male or female]
  • Matt. 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto [or for] one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto [or for] me.
  • Luke 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. ["Offend": skandalizo - to entice to sin; to cause a person to begin to distrust and desert one whom he ought to trust and obey; to cause to fall away. "Little ones": mikros - little;, small of age; younger which can include at-home teens].
  • Ps. 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me [let no sin rule over me].
  • John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
  • 1 Thess. 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. ["Evil" includes all things that are sinful.]

    There are some in the entertainment industry who maintain that 1) violent programming is harmless because no studies exist that prove a connection between violent entertainment and aggressive behavior in children, and 2) young people know that television, movies, and video games are simply fantasy. Unfortunately, they are wrong on both accounts." And "Viewing violence may lead to real life violence." I applaud these associations for fortifying 1 Cor. 15:33. Read the rest of the story. From our more than eight years of study, I contend that other aberrant behaviors, attitudes, and expressions can be inserted in place of "violence" in that statement. Our Director - Child Psychology Support, a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist concurs. For example, "Viewing arrogance against fair authority may lead to your kids defying you in real life." Or "Viewing sex may lead to sex in real life." Likewise and especially with impudence, hate and foul language. I further contend that any positive behavior can be inserted in place of "violence" with the same chance or likelihood of being a behavior template for the observer; of being incorporated into the behavior mechanics and/or coping skills of the observer. In choosing your entertainment, please consider carefully the "rest of the story" and our findings.
