Super professional narration, fantastic visuals, love the Mandelbrot sets and the superimpositions and skillfull transitions, intro is superb. We find that "author" and "architect" are the key terms. The Clockwork universe of Newton comes into play with excellent imagery. Wow! Does any religion have the right answers? These are the questions the Deists asks, as well as being sick of warfare over religion. Copernicus, Kepler, Brahe, Galileo destroyed Christianity's earth-centered view. The Bible was in for a drubbing with Lord Cherbury and friends. Locke comes into play opposing innateness arguments for this Deist God, and the tabula rasa or blank slate notion of mind comes into play. Deists then had to turn to arguments from experience and nature. Extensive, skillfull panning and cropping. Both the French and American revolutions were influenced by this movement. The Cult of the Supreme Being was a national cult in France for a time. Many founding fathers saw the value of reason, but especially Jefferson was a propounder of Deism. Franklin found anti-Deist tracts drew him to Deism and Thomas Paine made it popular. We see a god without revelation. Nice definition of all of it: a creative power greater than human... the growth is the fastest growing religion or .02 of the population. Hans Hegge narrated wonderfully, the credits are clear and extensive. Loved it! Persuasive....
