@9:07-"...the acceptance of science on the decline..."
While it is true that religious fanaticism makes it ugly and abominable self more visible over the past years, I must disagree with your statement that scientific acceptance is on the decline. While there is still a long way for our species to go, I think scientific acceptance is also on the rise. It's not like today's world is more ignorant than ever. The world always was ignorant. The Internet just made this sad fact more obvious.
There 10 minute limitation on youtube, so in order to include the entire script in one video my voice-over must be timed accordingly, but thanks for the note.
I think the Shia theocracy in Iran from Khomeini onwards has actually tolerated the theory of evolution being taught in science classes throughout the school system.
RBGTHUG : It is unfortunate that the people to whom this knowledge of the fallibility of humans should be given...are the ones least likely to listen. "Emotional feel good tactics" are what people buy into religion: it allows them to have some absolute certainty, even when the whole universe is against their naive beliefs.
I think there´s a fight between different groups of humans for the domination of the earth...Pure animal instinct,pure natural selection,pure evolution...
Great video, but it's a waste of time trying to appeal to religious people using logic and reason. That means absolutely nothing to them, next time try emotional feel good tactics :)
Excellent video! Look forward to finishing the rest of the series. Thank you thank you thank you!

dude you talk too fast for the mood of the pink floyd at the beginning. with a calmer, slower dialogue you could make a much more profound intro
still a good vid though!

Nice use of "Echoes" in the beginning. Best song ever.

Very good video! 5 stars! Also, you have the kind of voice one expects from, say, a planetarium.
