The phrase “Achilles’ heel” describes a fatal weakness in spite of apparent overall strength and invulnerability. This metaphor comes from ancient Greek mythology. As the story goes, the great warrior Achilles was dipped into the magical river Styx by his mother as a baby to make him immune from all attacks. Holding him by the ankle, she failed to immerse his heel, and he was later killed by an arrow wound to his heel.
Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels – The DVD
Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels is a groundbreaking educational film that demolishes the very pillars of the belief system that underpins secular culture—evolutionary naturalism. Fifteen Ph.D. scientists collaborated to produce a coordinated, coherent, powerful argument that simply and concisely exposes evolution’s major weaknesses, effectively discrediting the theory of evolution. The featured scientists include:
- Dr. Donald Batten, plant science
- Dr. Stuart Burgess, bioengineering
- Dr. Robert Carter, marine biology
- Dr. David Catchpoole, plant physiology
- Dr. John Hartnett, physics
- Dr. Mark Harwood, engineering/aerospace
- Dr. Matti Leisola, biochemistry
- Dr. Jim Mason, nuclear physics
- Dr. Marcus Ross, environmental science
- Dr. John Sanford, plant genetics
- Dr. Jonathan Sarfati, physical chemistry
- Dr. Emil Silvestru, geology
- Dr. Horace Skipper, microbiology
- Dr. Peer Terborg, molecular biology
- Dr. Tasman Walker, engineering/earth science
All of the contributors received their doctorates from secular universities just like their evolutionary counterparts. Each is a specialist in a field relevant to the subject. These areas are the topics systematically covered in the documentary:
- Natural Selection
- Genetics and DNA
- The Origin of Life
- The Fossil Record
- The Geologic Record
- Radiometric Dating
- Cosmology
- Ethics and Morality
Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels uses dramatic video footage and visually stunning computer animations to help show how the theory’s supposed strengths are, in fact, its fatal flaws. This documentary shows the scientific inadequacy of evolutionary theory on all fronts.
Produced by Creation Ministries International (CMI), the documentary is coupled with the biblical command to reach the lost with the Bible’s Good News, making it double as outreach tool like no other. Get this DVD for yourself, your homeschool, or your church group, and while you’re at it, buy another one to give to a skeptical friend.

Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels – The Book
The educational DVD is based on a book by the same name. Together, they are a great resource set for anyone wanting to truly understand the real issues rather than buying into propaganda. Scientific theories are constantly “evolving” as new discoveries take place. Darwin had it all wrong as modern science shows more clearly every year. Read the book and/or watch the film and find out why!
