From JNicholson-Turbide:
Chicago Tribune May 24, 1986
"Rev. Irwin A. Moon, 78, founder and retired director of the Moody Institute of Science, a division of the Moody Bible Institute, was producer and host of the award-winning Moody science films.
Services for Rev. Moon, of Hacienda Heights, Calif., were held May 15 in Calvary Church, Placentia, Calif. He died May 7 in a California hospital.
Rev. Moon was a graduate of the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. While a pastor in 1931, he began using scientific concepts to illustrate his sermons. Six years later, he resigned his pastorate to work with the idea full-time. The institute he founded used science to teach Christian principles.
Rev. Moon`s presentations, such as one in which electricity shot out of his finger, were offered at universities, in auditoriums and on military bases. His success with the presentations led to the scientific films.
A 1948 article by Rev. John Evans in The Tribune said of the films:
``Modern science formerly was condemned by many groups of fundamentalists as leading directly to atheism. Today, one of the more powerful groups of fundamentalists, the Moody Bible Institute, is making it the basis for effective preaching through the use of motion pictures based on science.
``In addition, the institute has set up an institute in Los Angeles to determine how new discoveries in the physical sciences can be used in preaching the gospel.``
The first two films made by Rev. Moon, along with the institute`s full-time staff of 27, were ``The God of Creation`` and ``The God of the Atom.``
Another of the institute`s films, ``Red River of Life,`` explained the workings of the human heart. To make the movie, Rev. Moon developed an instrument to view the interior valve action of a beating human heart. He also produced ``Signposts Aloft,`` a film geared to emphasize the need for pilots to trust their instruments.
Under his direction, the institute produced 39 educational films, which won 27 national and international prizes. In 1980, he was awarded the Eastman Kodak Gold Medal ``for his contribution to the advancement of the educational process through many unique uses of the art of the motion picture.``
Survivors include his wife, Margaret; two daughters, Marilyn Phillips and Janet Adams; two sons, Irwin Jr. and James; 10 grandchildren; 9 great-grandchildren; and two sisters, Thelma Layne and Virginia Reynolds."
