Unlocking the Mystery of Life is a 2002 intelligent design program promoted and produced by the Illustra Media, a branch of the Discovery Institute, and Focus on the Family.[1][2] It includes fellows of the institute such as Michael Behe arguing for intelligent design and against evolution.[3] The program is widely criticized by scientists for it's promotion of intelligent design.[4]

It is promoted by Focus on the Family and Campus Crusade for Christ is providing a free copy to every school in Australia.[5]

In 2005, KNME originally declined to air the program because "The funders of this program have a clear and specific agenda that they openly promote" and the station did not want to take sides.[6] However, it was later aired.[7]
