DENVER, Jan. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- "Is Genesis
History?" landed as Fathom Events' No. 1 event in the inspirational
category for 2017, due to the overwhelming fan demand that garnered
two encores during its initial run. Now, audiences will get to
enjoy this event on the big screen one year later with new
exclusive content. Tackling some of the most puzzling questions
facing Christians today, Dr. Del
Tackett meets with renowned scientists, historians and
Bible scholars to discuss the book of Genesis in "Is Genesis
History? – A Special Anniversary Event."
This insightful, first-anniversary event comes to U.S. movie
theaters on Thursday, February 22,
2018 at 7:00 p.m. local time,
from Fathom Events, Compass Cinema and The WTA Group. Following the
feature, moviegoers will be treated to a special tour of the Ark
Encounter in Grant County,
Kentucky. Tackett will use the tour to discuss the event's
themes and topics with college students, all captured exclusively
for this cinema event.
Tickets for "Is Genesis History? – A Special Anniversary
Event" can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com
or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S.
will be able to enjoy the event in more than 850 movie theaters.

"'Is Genesis History?' has far surpassed our expectations. We
are honored to have the opportunity to work with Fathom Events on
an anniversary screening," Tackett said. "Many have expressed
interest that they would like the opportunity to share this
experience with their friends on the big screen. We hope this
additional screening will help start conversations and continue to
inspire people to seek out answers to life's biggest
questions."
In this investigative documentary, Dr. Del Tackett crosses the continent to learn
from experts in various fields and asks some of the long-standing
questions surrounding the book of Genesis: Was the universe created
in six literal days? Did humans evolve? Were Adam and Eve real? Was
there a global flood? What happened to the dinosaurs? Was there a
tower of Babel? This first-of-its-kind documentary seeks to shine
light on the origin of humankind and its history, with new insights
on how the world came to be.
"Fathom Events is pleased to bring this insightful documentary
back to the big screen in honor of its first
anniversary," Fathom Events CEO Ray
Nutt said. "This screening gives both loyal fans and new
audiences a chance to enjoy the content together, offering new
thoughts and perspectives on the book of Genesis."
