Default Unlocking the Mystery of Illustra Media

The NCSE has some interesting double-identity-creationist articles now up, this time on a video-production company:

Who Promotes Unlocking the Mystery of Life?
Unlocking the Mystery of Illustra Media

Illustra Media has produced a video, Unlocking the Mystery of Life, which advocates "intelligent design" while avoiding anything explicitly theological. However, most of its promoters are various fundie organizations, like

Campus Crusade for Christ
Mission Frontiers magazine
Focus on the Family
Coral Ridge Ministries
Chuck Colson and the Wilberforce Forum
C.S. Lewis Society

And Illustra Media itself has a suspiciously close relationship to Discovery Media, a company that produces fundie videos, and the successor of the Moody Institute of Science.

They have the same snail-mail and e-mail addresses and the same (analog) phone and fax numbers; they also share several people.

Discovery Media's productions include:

The Exodus Revealed -- it was literal history, exactly as the Bible describes it; that video promises to show the remains of the chariots of Pharaoh's army, remains now on the Red Sea's floor.

The End Times -- yes, Rapture and Tribulation and all.

Heaven and Hell -- demonstrating that those are two completely real places.

By contrast, Illustra's only production so far is UtMoL.
