For about a decade, I accepted biological and cosmic evolution because I genuinely believed the scientific evidence supported it and that it did not rely on an underlying anti-Catholic/theistic worldview. However, this excellent series has led me to honestly change my mind and become an intellectually satisfied young-earth creationist- something I never thought I would say! Foundations Restored takes its viewers through a systematic, detailed, rigorous critique of Darwinian claims from all relevant angles, exposing the entire narrative as a scientific cover for an atheistic, nihilistic worldview. I cannot recommend this series highly enough. Thank you to Hugh Owens and his colleagues for working to restore the foundational dogma of the Holy Catholic faith!

I don’t think I could stress enough the importance of this video series in exposing the lies rationalism, naturalism, and Darwinism ( all modernism) have spread throughout the years. They’ve infected most of western society and the sadly the Church. Thankfully Foundations Restored has accepted the mission to show what the Church actually believes and that it does NOT endorse evolution. After watching these I’m convinced that the errors Our Lady said Russia would spread is Darwinism and the the like. These ideologies seek to deny Gods authority and the reality of man being made in Gods image.

To seek the truth is to seek Christ! To seek Christ is to seek His Catholic Church.

Purchase this series. Have a watch party with friends and family. Start spreading the good news that we are not made in the image of chimps! Fight the lies!

God bless!

I enjoyed watching the Foundation Restored videos very much and learned a great deal from them. The history laid out for the Cartesian-Darwinian Narrative in the first two episodes really brought the missing pieces together of how we got to this point in our history. In terms of science and the interpretation of the data, the animation in Episode IX was an impressive visual perspective of Catastrophic Plate Tectonics (CPT). May I suggest for future editions that you include a competing theory called the Hydroplate Theory, by Dr. Walt Brown? It is meticulously documented in his book, In the Beginning, which can be read online. In contrast to CPT, there are many good reasons why the Hydroplate Theory is scientifically the more probable theory. More importantly, it shows that the geological evidence better aligns with the biblical “fountains of the great deep”, with subterranean waters, the uplifting of the Atlantic floor (“the buckling of a plate on and elastic foundation”) and the corresponding subsidence of the western Pacific (arcs and cusps of trenches on a curved surface), to name just a few examples. The 9th Edition of In The Beginning can be found at creationscience.com/onlinebook/.

This is series is priceless! It points us back to our origins. The origins of faith - believing in the Truth as laid out by Sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture, and the Magisterium. Faith and reason work together but faith comes first.

Unfortunately with rationalism, Darwinism, and modernism, we have thrown out anything that we cannot comprehend (reason) and we have paid and continue to pay dearly for it! (In the Catholic Church particularly, many bishops, priests and laity are confused and unaware that they are living a life that is essentially void of faith since they have learned that reason "trumps" faith. This kind of "faith" puts trust in self over trust in the Lord and is not faith at all. Lord, help us!)

This series truly points us back to our foundations and for that I am forever grateful! I cannot recommend it enough!!

This video series contains all that anyone could ever want to know about the creation / evolution issue from a truly Catholic perspective. Coming to believe in a historical / literal Genesis opens one's eyes to the truth and beauty of the Traditional Catholic faith! Therefore, this video series can also be used as an evangelization tool! This is the 3rd set I've purchased; I gave one set to my God son who was going to show it to his college classmates and another to a priest who was going to use it for catechism class. Thank you for unveiling the false claims of modern science and promoting the True Faith!

Thank you Kolbe Center for producing such a well-researched, systematic refutation of evolution. I especially appreciated that geology, cosmology, patristics, and the historical consequences of evolution were included in this series.

Online streaming is the most convenient way for an individual to watch this series. However I choose to get the dvd set as well so that I would always have access to the content.

Anyone who expects to teach this content must get he DVD series and it's complementary teacher's guide.

I have a masters degree in sociology, and I have worked academically within both the empiricist and social constructivist field of science. I was initially a skeptic, but I must say that I have been persuaded by the very thorough and convincing empirical evidence in this documentary. The vast amount of scientists, and also even evolutionists(!), providing counterclaims to the present paradigm, is staggering.

It is now apparent that evolutionism, along with marxism, is directly responsible for murdering up to about 2 billion people worldwide.

Of course the Church is right. It always has been. Always will be.

I will never look at the sun rising, in the same way again.

Bought the DVD collection. All is beautifully done, from the box to the content. The quality of the content, imagery, edition, etc. have great production.
The content itself is a very well laid out explanation of the Traditional Church teachings, next to the current science validating the Faith and the errors of main stream science, both on the scientific and philosophical aspects.
My only regret is not buying it earlier.
The DVDs/episodes are about 1 hour long, logically structured.

Definitely recommend this series! It does an excellent job of analyzing the bad philosophy behind the prevailing worldview of our culture today in a lot of different areas. While the scientific episodes are definitely interesting, I think the greatest value is in the first few that analyze Creation from a theological and philosophical perspective. After those, I felt like I was, in a sense, finally able to let go of a problem that has plagued me forever about how to reconcile the scientific consensus about origins with the Faith. I also felt myself growing in awe of what God has done in creating the world in a way that I haven't experienced before.

Thank you very much for this series! It's incredibly thorough and does an excellent job of not just giving a bunch of information, but rather drawing viewers into a deeper relationship with their Creator.

This is THE BEST catechetical DVD instructional video collection tha I have seen in 53 years. I was improperly catechised in my youth, served over 500 novus ordo masses and funerals as an altar boy and attended "catechism: in the 70's-80's. I got a copy of the 1945 Missal and fell in love with the Latin Mass. It would have been much simpler back then with these DVDs. If you are truly interested in learning then living THE CATHOLIC FAITH, buy these DVDs and watch them with your family, friends, and fellow Catholics.

I cannot recommend this series (along with the accompanying teacher's guide) strongly enough.
This series not only clearly shows how false and contrary to science, Darwin's ideas are but even more importantly reveals how this lie has contaminated (and in many cases destroyed) so many aspects of science, philosophy and theology - sometimes in the most subtle of ways.
The series also reveals how darwinism was the 'scientific justification' used to 'legitimise' most of the worst atrocities in the recent past such as Nazism, Communism, abortion, racism, abuse of the handicapped as well as many other examples.

This series is essential viewing for all those wishing to study philosophy, theology or indeed any of the natural sciences as it will help the viewer purify their minds of this lie which has influenced so many aspects of the modern world, often in such subtle and hidden ways.
As someone who once thought that being a practicing a catholic and believing in evolution were compatible I now realise I was wrong.
The TRUTH has set me free, my prayer is that it will set you free too!

As a homeschool mom, I was at a loss as to how to explain the Catholic understanding of evolution to my kids. I had purchased "catholic" books on evolution that were just awful. When we tried Foundations Restored, I absolutely could not believe what I was watching. I had no idea there was so much evidence in favor of Sacred Scripture's viewpoint on origins! I couldn't recommend this program to homeschool moms more. Once you watch this, you will be ready to defend the faith and convince your children why they should believe in the Church.

The Truth shall set us free. Every time that we announce, teach, proclaim the truth, we are acknowledging Christ himself. Thank you for the team who put this material together. You are doing exactly that.

I remember as a teenager attending seminars by Jesuit Priests explaining how Big Bang theory and evolution does not contradict with God’s creation. On how “God created the human race as as someone who makes a final vase perfectioning with clay through time”. On how “for God a thousand years is a day”.

The only problem with that is that is against the first statement of our Catholic Creed: “I believe in God Father the Almighty”.

I am grateful to you for set me free of a lie that has hold me for decades. May God bless you and protect you.

After totally frustrating discussions with an atheist relative (over about 30 years), it became obvious his entire life and the way he saw everything was based on a complete acceptance of Darwin's theory (as taught @ Yale in the 1930’s). I became aware this was responsible for tremendous destruction of religion and morality not only in this person but the world & history. That led me to a study of the science behind the theory and the catechesis of the Bible. Unfortunately, there was very little solid information back then to refute a PhD atheist scientist. God has allowed a lot more information to come to light in the past decades but still catechesis of the Bible is a serious problem.

I appreciate having a work like Foundations Restored because of the detail of information, which can be used as a reference. (I have so far listened up to episode IX) Now, we need to turn our attention to the Bible as a source of truth and be able to reconcile it with the obstacles seen by young people today.

For example, the Bible teaches two of every type of animal on the earth (to include birds) was brought into the ark. In years past, trying to work out the dimensions of the ark, it seemed not to be larger than a second world war liberty ship. We can already see an impossibility here unless we bring in divine intervention in the storage of animals. This is based on there being no evolution (before or after the flood) and the statement of no new creation after the sixth day.

It seems to me God has allowed better information and understanding in recent times often in the form of things we should have known all along. Could this lack of understanding have been allowed as a result of sin & will further understanding be given by the mercy of God?
Thank you,

I believe in God the Father Creator of Heaven Earth...what does this mean, we say it every Sunday. I think the Kolbe Center's project Foundations Restored has done a wonderful job explaining the Catholic Faith regarding God as Creator. Sadly, these teachings will seem somehow out of date or no longer current to most Catholics. The enemy has done a masterful job of sowing seeds of confusion and doubt, the recent centuries echo a silent hiss, "did God really say he created the world in six days..." This course is very powerful because before people can understand the truth of God the Creator they need to learn how they have been deceived and how they have been programed to think erroneously. Foundations Restored is a masterful systematic teaching program to restore the lost Catholic Faith in God the Creator. I hope my children and grand children will diligently study this program so that the shadows of deceit may be removed from their eyes and that they might grow in greater love for God the Creator. It is my prayer that Foundations Restored is highly successful in giving God the glory that is his due as Creator of all things.

Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s I was steeped in Darwinian Evolutionary teaching in the public schools and church I attended. This caused great doubt and confusion as I read the Bible.
The Foundation Restored series, which I have completed in it’s entirety, has given me the TRUTH desperately needed.
The dark matter in my mind has been replaced with the LIGHT of the Traditional Catholic doctrine of Creation.
As I now read the Holy Scriptures, I am convicted of the Absolute Truth contained within from Genesis to Revelation.
The GRATITUDE I have is ETERNAL.
Thank you to ALL who brought this series to the Laity Little.

This series sparked a personal intellectual quest to seek the truth about origins and evolution, and to honestly assess the scientific evidence for and against them. I started reading the book “Repairing the Breach” and I am loving it. I’d like to be ready to defend my position against Darwinian evolution, and this is a great resource.

Just finished Episode 2. It was excellent - 5 stars.. (Episode 1 was, too, as I recall.) Amazing how the basics of atheistic evolutionary theory were already present thousands of years ago in the words of Epicurus and especially Lucretius. Also, what was chilling were the apparently demonic dreams/visitations experienced by both René Descartes and Teilhard deChardin, both big promoters of evolution.

I studied the 17 presentations in the Foundations Restored series with great interest. It is an excellent presentation of all the serious scientific arguments against the theory of evolution. Any respectable scientist should agree that there is no scientific evidence to support the theory of evolution, the big bang, the stratigraphic column, the isotopic dating techniques for rocks and that all the supposed evidence for evolution presented in school textbooks are myths. There are many anti-evolutionary texts that can be referred to which support the position presented in the series. However it has much more and something new. It presents the tragic consequences of following the evolutionary ideology that we have witnessed since the publication of Darwin’s The Origin of Species. Eugenism, fascism, communism, abortion and many other evils of the past century and a half are shown to stem from the acceptance of evolutionism. This is well documented in the series. Tragically this concerns also the problems currently within the Catholic Church. The acceptance of theistic evolution by Catholic educational institutions is shown to be a disaster.
The Foundations Restored series should be an obligatory tool for teaching in seminaries and in Catholic schools. It should be made available free online for anyone to study. It can start an orthodox revival in the whole world. I hope it will do so!

Wow! To all those who have contributed to this series: Thank you! Although I had already been cured from the microbes-to-man evolution deception before I started watching the series, the FR series has now also converted me from the billions of years deception. I have become convinced of the creation-providence framework and a relatively young earth (and universe) and its central position in the universe as well. The latter being a ‘side effect’ of the series. In the episode (VIII) on the big bang cosmology, I heard from Dr. Wolfgang Smith and that lead me to the movie “The Principle” that, in addition to the FR series and episode VIII, was also a roller coaster experience: observation of the CMB (cosmic microwave background) with the most advanced techniques shows that the Earth is the center of the universe! I read another comment ‘complaining’ a bit about the lengthiness of the series and that the speakers seem to speak rather scripted. The latter I can understand, because of the seriousness of the issue and the need for proper wording (and besides, it obviously is not a big budget Hollywood production). To anyone who would appreciate a shorter introduction, I would recommend the YT channel “Is Genesis History” and watch their film. And then come back to Foundations Restored, for an even more in-depth study and Catholic perspective. I really appreciated the many quotations from Church Fathers and Magisterial teachings. The only problem is that I have now become so exited about the Truth of God’s Word and His even more awesome Majesty than I imagined before, that I cannot wait to see the castle of lies that has been erected the past few centuries, and has brought the Church to near ruin, to come crashing down. 15 years ago, I was losing my faith over this question: “how can God allow man to drift so far away from Him and let so many souls be swept away in the deluge of false ideology?” It made me think He didn’t care anymore, and had left us to ruin ourselves. And thus, it wouldn’t make sense to try to find Him anymore. Just over a year ago I returned to the faith and the Church, and I am again so enthusiastic and eager to see ‘things’ happening; a paradigm shift in the worlds understanding; a return to the faith of many, especially my loved ones, that my only fear is that I cannot stand it when the current status quo endures. Come Lord Jesus come!

You want your children to stay in the Faith- You want your children to follow the moral precepts of the Catholic Church and work for Christ and his One True Church- then help catechize them in the Catholic doctrines of creation. The DVDs in Foundations Restored can help communicate these Catholic doctrines in ways that have not been available before- ever. Watch and enjoy and then watch and enjoy again! The doctrines of creation are the doctrines of Christ and His Catholic Church, and they bring light to so many other Catholic doctrines.

In paragraph 17 of St. Pius X’s 1905 encyclical, Acerbo Nimis (On Teaching Christian Doctrine), the saintly Pope states,

"17. What We have said so far demonstrates the supreme importance of religious instruction. We ought, therefore, to do all that lies in our power to maintain the teaching of Christian doctrine with full vigor, and where such is neglected, to restore it; for in the words of Our Predecessor, Benedict XIV, 'There is nothing more effective than catechetical instruction to spread the glory of God and to secure the salvation of souls.'"

So, following both Pope St. Pius X and Pope Benedict XIV, who are quoted above, work to do all in your power to maintain the Catholic doctrine. As the bodily incorrupt Pope Pius X states, work where Catholic doctrine and teaching have been neglected, “to restore it”.

Restore these Catholic doctrines of creation with Foundations Restored and help secure the salvation of souls!

Hi Keith

Et pax Christi tibi..

Congratulations to you and your associates on this great work. The presentation of the comprehensive Catholic perspective is greatly needed. I was once of the view that Theistic evolution was theologically acceptable and that, within that framework, we should leave it to “science” to fight it out. After all, paragraph 36 of Humani Generis seemed to me to allow for that view. I progressed by: 1. Discovering the encyclical stating that the Bible is to be interpreted literally except where reason or necessity require otherwise, and 2. Arriving at the certitude that God - the Good, the Beautiful and the True - would not do anything so prosaic as taking monkeys, sucking the animal souls out of them, breathing human souls into them and giving them a physical makeover.

I think many Catholics - good Catholics - believe as I once believed and relegate Special Creation and Young Earth to the backward and unenlightened beliefs of Protestant Fundamentalists who, by the way, have also done some excellent work on the subject.

I pray that your great work will become mainstream in the Catholic world.

Just one whinge: I found several segments difficult to play and a couple I have not yet been able to play at all. I have scanned other reviews and have not found a similar complaint, so perhaps the problem is on my end.

Wishing you and yours a blessed and holy Easter

This is the most comprehensive Catholic-based curriculum and yet condensed enough to study in 2 weeks.
As a life-long Catholic, I am grateful to the producers and all those who contributed to making this knowledge available. I always suspected some of the issues discussed and their explanation of the root causes, but I couldn't find evidence through my own research. So, I always resorted to my faith and that the authors of our Scripture and our Church Fathers and Doctors would never lie to us. Thank God, I trusted them over secular Catholic teachers. As laity this material has helped me focus on how to defend my faith and family.

I highly recommend all who come across this material to buy it.
For those looking to buy this, please don't be surprised to see such a high rating from all reviews. This is truly a game-changer.
I am amazed that the Kolbe Center has made so much information available at such a reasonable price. This has more material than over 4 years of college/university-level courses.

I am saddened that much of this information is suppressed in the mainstream Catholic Church, so it is imperative for us laity to learn this ourselves. Our Church Fathers and Doctors have answered all possible questions we have about our Faith through Scriptures and through their theology. Unfortunately, almost all of these have been systematically ejected from our seminaries. So don't be upset at our priests as they are poorly trained. Hence it is even more necessary for you to study this material for the sake of your soul and the souls of your children.

This material can be technical at times and rightfully so because they have covered almost all topics such as modernism, rationalism, humanism, communism (socialism), eugenics, darwinism, evolution hypothesis, documentary hypothesis in the required detail. So please be patient and give yourself time to digest this material.
DON'T forget to impart what you learn from this to youth in your family. It's our God-given duty to teach our young ones properly in faith.

Holy Mary, pray for us.
St. Augustine, pray for us.
St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us.

The Kolbe Center and Restoring Truth Ministries have done a profound service to the Chuch with this series. After having finally finished the entire series—and I plan to re-watch it, taking notes this time!—I can say that it is very well researched and clearly presented. The numerous episodes addressing the legitimate and illegitimate findings of the natural sciences were, in particular, very thorough. I kept finding myself saying, "Wow... the emperor is wearing NO clothes!" I do not have words to describe it otherwise. Though I've been researching this issue privately for quite some time, the Foundations Restored series brings together the principal points very well. While, as a professional theologian, I would desire to see the contents of episodes III and IV even more thoroughly and systematically addressed, for the intended audience I think they do an admirable job, especially in presenting the Church's teaching on Sacred Scripture. Again, they really did their homework!

Some of the stylistic choices made I found excessive or distasteful, although others might have found them more pleasing; I also noticed a small handful of typos over the course of the series, but these do not detract from the wealth of research and analysis presented. Further, as other reviewers have noted, while Episode XII is very informative and important, it is not for young audiences; Episode II also, at least the very end, was hard to watch, even though I knew exactly what was coming (and grateful that it was presented!). Some viewer discretion is advised in these places.

In sum, the series is very well researched and carefully presented. I will be recommending it to my students, colleagues, and friends. I earnestly hope that the groundbreaking work done to prepare and produce this series may continue and be taken up into academic circles, not only because the need for the recovery of these truths there is so great, but also so that these truths may be further expounded and substantiated with the full rigor of academic discourse, and so deal a tremendous blow to the enemies of God and His Church who dominate the academy.

God bless you all, and the Virgin protect us!

Having worked in the molecular biology industry, and then as a homeschool mum for 21 years, it had become obvious to me that the evolution hoax was an extremely powerful and important issue that I needed to educate my children on. This is the most comprehensive package available, putting together many fields of information into a wonderfully presented educational tool. I highly recommend using the study guide and reviewing episodes, as there is a lot of important information contained in this series. I also suggest parents do this before presenting it to their high school children. This will enable them to answer questions and get a feel for how the entire series fits together.

This series is very informative on the philosophical origins of evolutionary theory, which is seldom mentioned in any classroom let alone the sciences. Knowing the history of this philosophy sheds light on the materialistic basis on which Darwinism is founded and dispels the myth that it was built spontaneously from simple observation of nature and a growing interest in the sciences.

Some of the later episodes get very technical in the terminologies and subject matter, but the arguments are sufficient so far as they are explained. Only experts in the topics can really engage with the evidence, however.

The only big issue that I’ve noticed is in the presentation. Many of the speakers were filmed seated and visibly reading their lines from behind the camera. Though this does allow for them to be precise in their wording, it does not come off as very compelling or natural as it does in many interview-style documentaries with various experts that are common with this genre.

I have been a "young earth creationist" for 39 1/2 years, and JUST discovered the Kolbe Institute in February of 2020. I agree with the points you make, point-by-point. I enjoy the clarity, thoroughness, and authority of your presentations. I especially enjoyed the discussion of the Church's position on this issue throughout the centuries. I also enjoyed the way that you explain the development of thought in the European arena that laid the foundation for acceptance of this error, and that led to its infiltrating the Church. The period from about 1850 to 1950 at the end of the second presentation was especially enlightening for me. in general, the historical and philosophical explanations that you incorporate are very good, and tend to be missing or truncated in material from other sources. I appreciated the detailed icon-by-icon rebuttal of evolutionary assertions. I think you can do a bit more on the Big Bang and on Geology, but what you have is excellent. I think one of the biggest difficulties is the way that radiometric dating has assumed such an authoritative place in setting the age of the earth. This you countered well, but I always think that more can be done. Finally, the way that you presented the consequences of accepting evolutionary thought (the last 4 presentations) was outstanding. I also was delighted that you mentioned the WIseman hypothesis, as it is the proper response to the JEPD theory. In general, I loved your work. It is by far the best such set of presentations that I have seen--by far. Thank you for the enormous effort you have made in putting this together. I will make as much use of it as I possibly can.

This series is PROFOUND! There’s information here that’s just shocking. And they use real science even the evolutionists own science, and just shred every argument for evolution and all that goes hand in hand with it. Everybody NEEDS to see this! Especially if you have kids who’ve swallowed the evolutionists mantra hook line and sinker. I can’t rave about this series enough. If you have kids and relatives that have completely fallen away from The Faith or have a very Relativistic World View, they need to see this. As hard as it may be to get the people who desperately need to see this may be, get this and do all you can to open them up to watching it all the way through just once. If you’ve been despairing over the course the country and the world is on. Get this. It explains why things are the way they are. It also explains where we are headed. And what we might be able to do about it.

I knew a lot of the information contained, believe it or not, from a Baptist preacher from more than two decades ago. As a lifelong Catholic, I wondered to myself, "Why haven't Catholics gotten into this fight against Modernism?" With the Baptist approach, I had to do a lot of "chewing up the meat and spitting out the bones." This was exactly what I was seeking. I cannot stress enough the importance of the astounding revelations within this video series for those that are not awake to the truth. There are no "bones" to spit out. There is pure truth contained within, cited beautifully throughout. In short, watch this video series and spread it far and wide. You will not regret it. This is pure gold.

Foundations Restored Series - Online Streaming Access and Physical DVD set with... View

As a long time Kolbe Center fan, I was thrilled when the new video series came out and just had to order the Streaming service right away. I also purchased the DVD’s because I plan on facilitating the series at my parish where I am a catechist (adult faith formation and 8th grade Confirmation).

I was not disappointed, in fact, the entire series is exceptional. I read all of the reviews to date and agree with every one of them. The production quality is first class (thank you Keith Jones). The Icons of Evolution took a thorough thrashing and theistic evolution has been exposed for its glaring errors and inconsistencies. Catholics can once again proudly stand on the shoulders of the Fathers, Doctors and Saints and profess the same doctrine on Creation (the Special Creation/Providence framework) that the Church has professed for more than a millennium.

For the Thomists out there, the series does an excellent job in demonstrating why St. Thomas Aquinas would have rejected macro evolution, but because this is such a large topic, I would also recommend Fr. Michael Chaberek’s book “Aquinas and Evolution” which thoroughly exposes the major weaknesses of the arguments of the “Thomisitc Evolutionists”.

I will be promoting the video series everywhere I can.

This series will seriously shake even the most ardent disbeliever.

Foundations Restored brilliantly, and thoroughly, exposes evolution as not a science, but a philosophy, and a world view. This idea to most is a ridiculous one: however, to the dismay of the hostile viewer, one of the great strengths of the series is that you are not even allowed to be tempted with a, 'well that's just what you think' mindset, as they quote so many experts, the vast majority being evolutionists, in readily recognizable secular publications, that show the individual points about the science to not only be logical, but stated in official scientific journals, many in direct contradiction of what you were taught in high school! So many in fact, that I wish now that I had kept a tally of all the scientists quoted. The length of the series may seem daunting, but if it wasn't long it could not contain such a thorough discussion; furthermore, if it was only 1 and a half hours long, you may be tempted to disregard it off hand, as simply being too short to be serious. Indeed, if you are hostile to this idea, I hope you take this as a personal, yet friendly, challenge to be brave enough to test your outlook.

The discussion on human evolution is incredibly exact. I've seen another documentary, which was very good, but when it came to the evolution of man, they focused primarily upon Neandertal, and whereas it was good they hardly touched on any other 'link.' This series, to my great admiration, focuses about 2 hours on the subject, and knowing that most people know that neandertal man is easily identified as fully human, spend minimum time on him, and spend the time on not only every single member of the currently held sequence, but then discuss the alternative sequences that other evolutionists are attempting to construct, to save the theory. All backed up by the scientific literature. Similarly, the episode on the flood, and Genetics (and indeed all topics) will be a shock to most viewers, as most people have never heard the overwhelming evidence for the Great Flood, nor of Genetic Entropy, which if either are true, completely and utterly, demolish the theory of evolution.

This series is absolutely a must have for anyone that actually cares what they believe, in fact, if one wanted to understand the truth on the matter it could be done solely with this series, and greatly backed up with the book 'Evolution: The Grand Experiment Vol.2 Living Fossils.'
I have read a number of books on this subject, seen a number of documentaries, and seen/listened to many presentations from popular organizations online, and whereas credits to the scientists, and their works, that have made this series possible, such as Dr. Sanford, go where they go, this series, is clearly the crowning achievement of Creationism.

Note For Parents: Episode XII is important, but not for young ears.

Thank you so much for enlightening us on the falsehood of the theory of evolution, the big bang theory and all the lies fed to us and our children by debunking the unscientific "science" we have learned as truth. My faith, which I always thought was strong, has been strengthened immeasurably, because I now more deeply appreciate God's immense love and intellect and Omnipotence and all of the greatness of God! How He creates and maintains life, and is intimately involved and connected to us at every moment. I more clearly can see how the false theory of evolution can distance us from our loving Creator, and can cause the loss of faith. It is time to end the deception and return to the Faith of our Fathers.Thank you to all involved in this outstanding work!

I have just finished viewing the streaming version of the "Foundations Restored" series, which I found a truly remarkable achievement. I have been especially impressed by both its solid scientific background and the deep christian worldview behind it. I really believe it has a great potential for stimulating tech-savvy people to seriously consider the possibility that science and faith are not totally incompatible. That kind of perspective is now lamentably uncommon here in Italy, where the latest advancements in creationist science are basically unknown to almost everybody. I myself, as a traditional catholic with an expertise in electronic engineering, have found several insights provided by the videos quite inspiring.

Unbelievable. It is an amazing series. My husband and I call it "Discovery Channel Catholic" if there ever was one!
It is not a boring-- monologue with just pictures that is assumed because usually with Catholic informational DVD series there isn't much for financial support. This is TOP QUALITY, state of the art filmmaking, intriguing education on the TRUE story of creation. Right now, in the Church we are thirsting for truth. Drop everything now, buy this DVD set, for the salvation of yourself and your children. No where else will you find the information, facts, truth and Catholicism that you will find here about the truth of creation.

After many years of being only able expound, "I do NOT come from a monkey!" when people spoke about evolution, I am so pleased at the quality of scientific facts dissolving the theory of evolution and the well-ordered way in which Foundations Restored has been developed. The concise and simplified explications of scientific jargon and education in regard to the origin of man and the universe that Foundation Restored delivers has brought a great relief and refreshment to my hope and faith. There is no doubt Holy Scripture is 100% Truth despite what the world wants us to believe to the contrary. Without using the technique of indoctrination, the series allows the viewer to intelligently process a myriad of scientific research and orients all the natural sciences back towards sacred Catholic theology through its research. It has been so important to understand where the authoritative teaching of the Catholic Church stands with regard to evolution and Special Creation as it is written in Holy Scripture. Thanks to Foundations Restored, ignorance in the boundaries and our true original Catholic beliefs regarding our origins can be placed securely back onto its throne again.

It is my hope that this incredibly important series be viewed and shared throughout the Catholic Community worldwide. It definitely restored my faulty foundation. It is a profound and exciting DVD series that is also enjoyable to watch!

It is such a relief, after all these years of 'de-volution' to know
that what we were taught by the nuns so many years ago :
that the book of Genesis is a true account of creation,
is actually true.
Thank you very much for this series.
I pray that it disseminates rapidly throughout the whole Catholic Church.

Ave Maria !

I can’t say enough about this series! FOUNDATIONS RESTORED is simply outstanding. It lays out a solid argument with strong historical, theological, and scientific documentation that the evidence for Darwinian Evolution actually refutes the theory. Like peeling an onion, it shows how society has been duped by the proponents of Darwinism, exposing atheistic roots at every level. This series unravels the layers of lies and distortions and reveals to what extent societal norms and indeed our entire world view has been shaped by the minds of Decartes, Darwin, and others who were hostile to God. Watching the FOUNDATIONS RESTORED series brought to mind my earlier skepticism about Darwinian Evolution, and made me ask why I would seek to limit God: could He not have made everything in an instant? I came to realize that presupposing that development had been slow and gradual is a formula not for explaining how the world and all its creatures came to be, but for eliminating the need for a Creator. Keith Jones was also the producer of another fantastic work, “JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE,” which challenges the Copernican Principle. Together, FOUNDATIONS and JOURNEY unravel a tapestry of deception that spans 5 centuries and has deprived generations of Christians of their faith.

GLORY to JESUS CHRIST, NOW AND FOREVER!

I’ve been listening to interesting talks on origins on catholic channels for quite some time and was really looking forward to this series. I liked it very much and will be sharing the content by discussing it with my extended family. Most of them don't know enough English to watch it for themselves. I liked how deep the program gets into the scientific details. The content is easy to accept for Catholics. I’m not sure if it can be a tool to convert atheists though. One needs to get them thus far that they would spend some time to watch the program. A good trailer geared towards people of no faith but open to facts could be very helpful.
The only critique I have: All the citations are read by the same person. I don’t have the impression that the narrator deliberately did it, but some of the views came over with a somewhat condescending underline. For example, when the narrator reads a citation mimicking the voice of a woman. Not an issue for the Catholic viewer, but it might hinder the openness of a skeptic for the well-presented facts.
It would be great if the series could be translated to other languages or at least be provided with subtitles.

Foundations restored is phenomenal!

I have been very interested in finding various sources of information in opposing the false claims of Darwinian evolution for a few years now.
What your team have put together here is truly compelling, inspiring and a great hope for the resilience of my home schooled childrens faith going out into the world.

I pray that it will be seen far and wide and I am personally extremely greatful to everyone who made Foundations restored possible.

God Bless you all!

I watched the stream version and had to purchase the DVD version also, so I can share this and also use it as a training tool for both CCD classes and for those challenging conversations I have with others in life and at work when they embrace the brainwashing and blind faith in theories that have been proven incorrect time and time again. The structure of the series does very well using documented science to show the theories wrong and also go into not only the errors but where the errors come from and why they were promulgated. Overall rating “Outstanding” and I cannot recommend this enough. It gives the Truth seeker a very good foundation to build upon when combating the modern man mentality built upon deceit.

God Bless, Viva Cristo Rey!

Having watched all the videos, this series is not a bunch of crazy fundamentalists pushing the creationist line. This video series uses proven science, philosophy and theology to bring the evolutionary hypothesis to its knees.

A very well researched and presented series.

I have recommended Foundations Restored to a number of Catholics.

Our poor school children have been sold a lie and indoctrinated, all part of a plan to dumb-down our thinking and to view humans as just another species to be disposed of at will. In other words, nothing special about human creation.

Well this series is convincing and a perfect educational tool to re-wire the thinking of many who have fallen prey to the Cartesian-darwinian lie.

Great work from the team and thank you for swimming against the tide and for giving us a treasure.

I loved the series that I ordered both the streaming and hard copy version.

Do not hesitate to buy, watch and share Foundations Restored.

APTLY NAMED, FOR RESTORING FOUNDATIONS IS EXACTLY WHAT IT DOES

I have heard many of the arguments in this excellent presentation before, but never so completely, so thoroughly — even astonishingly — presented. I’ve asked a trained geneticist, biologist, and geologist to view the program. All acknowledged Foundations Restored as completely accurate and reliable in its presentations, with the geologist noting newfound discomfort at beliefs he has long held.

How good is this? I’ve long had problems accepting the “6,000 year” biblical history.

I don’t, anymore. The arguments supporting the Christian Origin Story are highly credible — from a *scientific* perspective. More so than I ever would have believed.

I’ve recommended that my parish incorporate this series into their RCIA program. If you have not heard these arguments before, get ready for an eye-opening experience that may very well change the way you view the world, it is that compelling.

It is a tour de force. Your entire family should watch this presentation, together. Because it is phenomenal.

As a convert from atheism, I believe this series could be pivotal in overcoming many obstacles for those who may be interested in the Catholic Faith but are hesitant because of the contradictory claims of many in the modern scientific community. And, as someone who was completely unaware of the Catholic Church's teachings on Creation, I am pleased to say that Foundations Restored has strengthened my own faith and dispelled many harmful misconceptions.
