i love this video, not because it promotes jehovah's love.... but because it indirectly discusses a subject that helped me to question my beliefs.. https://www.jw.borg/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwbcov_201905_11_video.

(creation reveals jehovah's love).

it is the first clip, and it is about how elements are formed.
