Tenacious DNA (a history of life on earth)

[guwest2]

Thanks for this.  The Permian-Triassic extinction doesn't get the attention it deserves.

The ending was really nice, BRUCE WILLIS HELP US :D

[Ericrestes1]

Cool ....all religion is crap

This video was able to deliver a point that I've never really been able to articulate well until now. It was the hardship our ancestors endured that wrought us out of the wilderness, out of the dust of this planet itself. That's what made us who we are. Billions of years ago, on a desolate, dead world in a young star system, a molecule formed that had the unique ability to copy itself. We are the descendants of those tenacious molecules: the ones that could survive.

TENACIOUS D xD i tought this was a parody

[bronlokis]

we've survived what nature has thrown at us .... but can we survive ourselves?

[blarghblarghblargh]

HOW COULD YOU FUCKING DISLIKE THIS

[Ignorantf00l]

According to a theory, the siberian extinction was also cauesed by a meteor, and it's effect on the magma caused the eruption. The meteor should have hit the Antarctica so it's hard to prove/disprove it

[TheSkunkCat]

It's a lovely video... but why does the asteroid approach the dinosaur age earth with the continents being in their modern configuration?

North America... did not look like that in the dinosaur age... In fact I'm pretty sure it was just a part of a larger supercontinent.

This is the best animated imagery that I've ever seen that is based on fantasy.

[shoulderkolibri]

@KJVWordofGod oh and the wall painting of the cueva de las manos didn't move you? my friend you are hard hearted. I doubt you have even read the king james bible in its entirety beside the scripture your pastors point to you. And of course you don't find wonder in the long history of life and the world, which just surprises me because your version of the universe must be either very small or unrealistically fancy, filled with angels and heavens. I have to say its as boring as hell (pun intended)

[TheRadicalLiberal]

@shoulderkolibri Good point. It really is counter intuitive that those of us who are atheist have a much greater sense of awe and wonder and appreciation for the magnificience and complexity and almost infinite size and time scale of the universe while those who believe in a god who created the whole thing are bereft of all these things.

What a small and petty universe they believe in and what a small and petty god created it. Matches their minds.

[blarghblarghblargh]

@KJVWordofGod fantasy? i think not

[ulalalalala123]

Incredibly good. Breathtaking imagery and soundwork. Thanks for this!

[Kuymal]

while many of the paintings/ artwork at Madhya are 30,000 years, the picture used in the video is of a historic period and shows riders on horseback. Also, the portions that have wording go a little too fast and jump around historically a bit too much, which weakens your video. The possible future astroid -- well, what's spaceflight for then?

[roont]

I'll second the notion of wanting to run outside barefoot screaming up at the universe.

[InContemplation]

I love this, chaotic universe we live in can be as gorgeous as it can be grotesque.

[lindseyprice23]

This video gave me the urge to run outside barefoot and yell at the top of my lungs!

[pololopo23]

What a beautiful video! Cheers for uploading.

[tracygonecrazy1]

I liked this video, sorta. Even though I have no idea what it was about, it was kinda trippy, which is always good, when you're high, like I am now.

[roont]

@tracygonecrazy1 Its about life on planet earth, how it formed, the struggles our ancestors have had to endure in order for us to be here today.

[AlanIsHarmony]

Nice video.

[riqmoon]
