[1/5] Episode 1: The Genius of Darwin HQ & Full Screen

[PhantomSephiroth]

It's easy to understand Dawkins' feelings. Evolution tells us that we are linked to every other living thing that has ever lived. How can somebody not be moved by such a thaugt?

Thanks for the upload.

I recently read an article that sums up an interesting point. We shouldn't worship Darwin, but we shouldn't worship God either. Sacrificing knowledge, or even the possibility of knowledge, for anything is lunacy.

[Zeelxx]

@lordthorpez no one 'worships' Darwin. Stop reading your subpar creationist articles.

[lordthorpez]

@Zeelxx I'm not a creationist. I live near that museum in Northern Kentucky, and I refuse to go. I believe that worship can take many forms. The point of the article is that too much emphasis is put on the man, and too little on his idea. Take for instance the amount of credit that goes to Wallace, his bulldog. Very few people are familiar with the fact that, at least according to several interpretations, he would not have achieved fame with this idea had it not been for him.

[lordthorpez]

@lordthorpez Worship, may indeed be a strong word, but reading the likes of Sean Carrol in "Remarkable Creatures" puts a lot more in my basket than this new documentary set to debut with several well named Hollywood actors, including what looks like Kristen Dunst.

I don't like the way that religion belittles science. Science has evidence and religion (there are sooooooo many) has none. Man invented religion. Evidence invented science. Religion is arbitrary. I don't know how people can defend it like they do. 911 is an example of a result of competing religious certainties. It is a stone age era theory vs. modern technology in todays time.

[sdarvell]

There are many creation myths that include god and don't include god. There is only one non-disproved universally held theory. Creationism is not a theory. Its supposition. There is no proof for creationism, so its merely a proposal, a concept. A theory in context isn't just anything you can think, but its anything you can think and then validate, and have that validation hold up against criticism. Creationism has never been able to do so.

Creationism IS true, because the ONE book says it is! nathan poe says hellooo

[hisnameisfrankie]

@managarm1349 You're right. The Koran makes it clear that there was a creation. People like us need to stand up against these evolutionists.

EVERY kid in rural America (and many other places where religions has a strong hold and fools people) should see this!

I´m not an ateist, but it´s scary that many families - 2010 in the western world - still teach their kids that the BIBLE is the truth!!!

[TheAUKid]

They are some of the luckiest kids and they don't even know it!

[SirGriefALot]

lol, Dawkins gives it to those kids straight.

[readthewritestuff]

i would appreciate dawkins more if he stuck to talking about darwinism rather than constantly pitting it against the religious straw-man he builds. the science is spectacular enough on its own. the constant comparison he brings back to creationism results reductive for the presentation of the idea of evolution by natural selection.

[MrFlyingaussie]

Darwinism isnt even an actual group, stop being a narrow minded ignorant fool

[ThePhilosorpheus]

@readthewritestuff Finally someone I can agree with!

[turkeyburgers]

@readthewritestuff

You have to understand there are ONLY TWO theories for the origin of life. God did it, and Evolution. All he is doing is pitting one theory against the other theory. The ONLY two theories that exist! Maybe after looking at it in this way you can comment on it in a different way. It is not enough to simply present your theory, you have to show why it is better than the other theories.
