Gospel Principles Lesson 5 ~ The Creation

UPDATED LINKS!  See below...

After reading the great lesson review from Vada at the-exponent.com,  I was inspired by a follow-up comment.  A reader suggested bringing in the story of the Apollo 8 space mission, and the events surrounding it--particularly the "earthrise" that the witnessed.  I won't go into detail myself, but an account of the story is found here:

and

I decided to put this picture, along with newly-released Hubble Telescope photographs to a slideshow as an attention-getter at the beginning of my lesson.  The audio background is the astronauts of Apollo 8 reading from Genesis.  My video is under 3 minutes and can be downloaded here:

I suggest giving a brief background to your class before showing the video.

Feel free to leave comments in the comment section!  I'd love to know if someone uses this video.
