How the Earth Was Made (History Channel)

Loved the doc. Well paced. Naration great. I loved the fact that I actually learned something. I highly recommend this for all. I think children would also find it interesting.

Loved this one, as it went into more detail about the planet itself.I'm glad these are coming out as it has been hard to find anything on Geology, or about Earth in general that doesn't confine itself solely to the animal kingdom in one form or another.

For some reason the creators of this documentary thought it would be a good idea to package the DVD in 100% post-consumer recycled material. As a result, it looks and feels of extremely poor quality, and the packaging will not withstand the slightest bit of wear and tear.

If they wanted to improve my opinion of post-consumer goods they colossally failed.

The quality of the actual content of the DVD is excellent, however.

When I buy a DVD, I expect to be able to store it with my other DVDs, but in this case, I'm going to need to throw the original packaging away and find an actual plastic case so that it can go on the shelf without being squished.

Interesting and scientific explanation of the Earth's beginnings and including the next philosophized stage of existence. Great visuals and narration. Saw it on the History Channel and had to have it for my own DVD library.

ASIDE FROM THE "EFFECTS" AND JERKY EDITING THIS IS PRETTY GOOD. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO ABSOLUTELY KNOW HOW EARTH FORMED AND DEVELOPED THROUGH TIME. WE KNOW MUCH MORE NOW THAN EVEN 200 YEARS AGO.
THIS IS A GOOD STARTER COURSE. SIT AND WATCH IT AND WONDER...

4.5 BILLION YEARS IS A VERY LONG TIME. MUCH LONGER THAN 6000 YEARS AND SIX DAYS! BUT THERE ARE FOLKS HERE IN OKLAHOMA WHO WOULD CHEERFULLY BURN YOU AT THE STAKE FOR SAYING IT...
