Fact and Faith Films

Fact and Faith Films

From the films produced by the Moody Institute of Science in Los Angeles, "Dust or Destiny" will be screened on Thursday July 14 at 12.45 p.m. in B2. This film gives a dramatic presentation of the miracles of nature.

It reveals wonders of the human heart and eye, an well as the ear which hears a cannon-blast and a cat's footfall with equal ease.

In the animal realm, the film shows the remarkable homing pigeon and the flight of the bat, guided by its own radar.

The incredible spawning habits of the grunion, which lays its eggs on dry ground, are featured.

Every science student should make it a must to see this film. On Saturday 16th another film will be shown. (Running time: 48 minutes.)

Professor Grensted, Oriel College, Oxford, says:—"These films were a real achievement of accurate scientific photography, and, as I am in a position to know, one of great interest as records of some of the most recent discoveries of modern science, quite apart from their religious challenge . . .

"No scientist could ask for better evidence of the facts they portray."
