 Excellent Selection
Johathan Parks is a great audio production. They give many interesting facts about geology, geography, and animals along with a great story line and biblicle values. I liked the criticle review writen about Johnathan Parks audio series. Creationalist can't afford sloppy scholorship. I don't know if the reviewer was correct in asserting that creationist don't address mutation through radiation and how and if species change. I believe that Vision Forum is willing to address this topic. Both Creation Science and Evolution need to be scrutinized. Thought and dialogue need to continue regarding these two very different ideas about how the world is created and being re-created. Vision Form has given a great venue for families to talk with their children about how the world was created. For me it's worth getting my children interested in science. I'm not affraid to shore up my knowledge to defend evolution against creationalism, particularly with my children. Who knows, I might be convinced. Bring it on Jonathan Parks!
 Entertainment? Yes! Education? No...
I first listened to the Jonathan Park series on a Christian radio station on one of my many long drives across the country. It's an attractive production, with enthusiastic acting, engrossing sound effects and a hilariously over-the-top storyline. I have no doubt that children find it thoroughly engaging. Unfortunately, therein lies the problem.

br /This series is funded by the Institute for Creation Research, which, as anyone who has done a cursory examination knows, does no research at all. All they do is perform public relations campaigns to convince people that creationism is legitimate science. Part of that campaign seems to be the indoctrination of children with such production as the Jonathan Park series. The result is that students' thinking will be set back years, if not for good, by pseudo-science and logical fallacy.

br /Here's an example from the episode broadcast last night, which happens to be on this collection: "Jonathan Park and Darwin's Fiery Mountain, pt 1." Jonathan and the kids travel to the Galapagos to investigate a new species of tortoise. All the while, Jonathan explains to his younglings that natural selection, the theory that, according to legend, was born in the Galapagos, cannot account for adaptive radiation, because "mutations cannot create new information." This idea is spouted constantly by creationists, despite the fact that they never bother to define exactly what they mean by information. In fact, nearly all mutations add information to the genome, even though very few of them actually produce a visible change. This is just one example of the ways in which such products for children twist children's thinking with misinformation.

br /This product gets zero stars for its education value, but I give it two stars for its capacity to entertain. The healthiest way to enjoy it with children would be to take time to discuss the claims Jonathan Park makes about science, and make sure the young ones understand exactly what is wrong with creation "science."
great product
This is a quality product that can be enjoyed by children and adults who are listening with them. The attention to detail with history,creationism,science,biblical information and adventure was terrific. My 10 year old son loves to listen to the stories and can't wait to hear the next cd. There are four cd's with 3 adventures on each. Additionally, there is a resource book that can be used in conjunction with the cd's. Great for bible studies, home schoolers and even just for fun family activities. The price was a bargain for the product you receive.
Jonathan Park: Hunt for Beowulf
My Children have the rest of the series and really enjoy them. Great stories and Biblical applications of Creation. Great entertainment for in the car. Makes them think. They might even ask some good questions. I love it!
Great audio entertainment education
My 9 yo son has loved the Jonathan Park audio series. He listens to them again and again. He just now old enough to be interested in the supplemental book that comes with it. These are a good and Godly form of educating children about creation. All entertainment is teaching something...I appreciate that these are furthering his biblical beliefs. Very well done and captivating. Kids as young as 7 or 8 will enjoy these audio adventures.
