Does evidence really dictate that the sun is billions of years old? The Young Sun is a Christian documentary that examines the known processes of our sun and the most popular theories about its origin as a star. Featuring stunning space photography and informative animations, this creation-proving film explores in great detail the size, distance, structure, energy output, inner workings, and sheer uniqueness of the source of light and heat that God made on day four of creation. Taking a closer look at the sun, this educational DVD from Bridgestone Multimedia Group features Dr. Jason Lisle, a creationist astrophysicist at Answers in Genesis, Dr. Danny Faulkner, a professor of astronomy at the University of South Carolina, and Dr. Ron Samec, an astronomy and physics professor at Bob Jones University. With their help, The Young Sun shows why it is impossible that any of the proposed evolutionary theories of star formation explain the origin of stars or our sun.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
