  • guys stop with the religion comments

  • @Arcazazel "insert religion comment here"

  • is there ANY video at all that doesnt have any arguments about creation vs. evolution?seriously guys lighten up its just a show

  • that primitive whale looks so hard to beleive..

  • why is everyone arguing like idiots over the fact that some people dont believe in evolution? focus on the video >:l

  • @FrenchBulldogWinston I agree, I came here to watch prehistoric whales, not listen to religious debate.

  • How do they make the animation look very realistic? Even the water ripples, so as the whole environment, looks real! How?

  • @Jebanjohn007: it's actually pretty easy, the entire environment and the interaction with the environment is real, they film it and then add the computer generated animal to match, the ripples and all that is done by people splashing and so on... i think they show this in "Walking with Dinosaurs" as extra features...

  • I would like to see the horse one. would be neat

  • OMG I have this in korean version!!! But to be honest, I don't think whales evolved, I mean, what christians would?

  • lol was the whale that fucked up o.o

  • i believe in god and science. yes. both. it is possible so stfu

  • @limewolf3 yay me too :D

  • @Tazy50 Theistic Evolution, highfive!

  • @limewolf3

    Doesn't the bible say that one shalt not use technology, or something like that?

  • People. Religion is cool. Science is cool. Both sides, shut up

  • what a joke..a whale ?? i would surely hope noone is dumb enough to buy this garbage.They have never found an animal or mamal in transition to another type.If that were true they would find them everywhere like they do the fossils of each type of dinosaur fossil..but they find them all looking just as God Made them without deformity and what they are.There should several finding of something in transition,we should be seeing it today for that fact.But nope,everything is as it was made

  • @SeekingChristGod evolution takes up millions of years and we human have been here only a short time, so it is impossible to see evolution work directly, animals do not transition from an animal to another in a short term, it all depends on their offspring and the environmental changes... how can they assure you that it is the same species? there's something called DNA, this is a fact that most birds have dinosaur DNA within them, please do educate yourself more.

  • @ShiBluWolf

    Most animals also have retroviral trace genes embedded in the non-functional "junk" portions of their genome telomeres. And their ancestors had those SAME viral genes in the SAME locations, which their descendants inherited! Yup, that means that whatever ancient extinct virus infected the first dinosaur also left traces of its DNA by proxy of evolution in the same CHICKEN you're eating tonight!

  • @susumu07 Wow now I'm too fascinated to eat that chicken. hahaha

  • Comment removed

  • @SeekingChristGod humans are monkeys. Birds are dinosaurs.

    amfibians are fish.

    small lizards/snakes are mosasaurs.

    Believe it or not! 

  • @SeekingChristGod good that u believe that, now go away :3

  • @SeekingChristGod instead of trying to argue with you i will just ask you questions. Why does snake skeletons have leg bones? Why would any creator put leg bones in a creature that crawls around?

  • @SeekingChristGod

    Even most basic education in biosciences would have shown you that yes, of course we have numerous, numerous transitions between animal groups.

    But you continue absorbing the retarded nonsense fed to you by biblical cretinist pedopriest liars.

  • In the year : 4000 we will evoluate ? :D I mean .. I HOPE WE WONT BE ANIMATED . For any documentary you know :D Like we did with Homo Sapiens , Erectus , Habilis and the rest :D

  • @SnokeZ maybe we wil look ugly in the documontary, or they see us for dinosaurs.........

  • @MsMariosonic loool

  • @SnokeZ  pidgeons are velociraptors so watch out!

  • @SnokeZ It'll be a lot longer than that before the Sapient LandSquids find our fossils, and say: "DAMN NATURE, YOU SCARY!".

  • @Chirostenotes A landsquid would need to drink saltwater, because fresh water is poisonous to squid, who have salinity levels that are the same as the sea.

  • @EoceneRoxton True, but there is one type of squid, Lolliguncula brevis, that can tolerate low salinity and often inhabits river mouths.

    It is possible that squids (or octopi or cuttlefish) could evolve to tolerate freshwater environments over time, and even if they didn't, a potential land cephalopod would still be able to colonise coastal habitats.

  • @Chirostenotes Possible, yes. Seeing as sea fish evolve to recolonise freshwater in the absence of any indigenous freshwater fish, eg New zealand.

  • @SnokeZ you mean "evolve". (:

  • @SnokeZ Dude, scientists say 2050 will be the start of the war for water. All humans can do is fuck the earth, get overpopulated and make war with each other. You really think we'll still be around in the year 4000? I don't think so.

  • @24000RPM i don't know if you noticed, but there is still SHIT LOADS of water left. We take ocean water and filter out the salt, we won't run out of water for millions of years.

  • @wo0obly water is a recycled natural resource, it never runs out. it evaporates, rains, flows. it will constantly change form/state (liquid, solid, vapor) but its amount never changes

  • @TheBestDamnThing94 well it does, but so minutely that you don't notice. And i am of course on about the tiny amount of vapour in the sapce stations and sattelites lol

  • @wo0obly Filtering sea water would be an expensive process that poor countries won't be able to afford. Also the 2050 war for water i mentionned comes from studies done by many scientists and published in science magazines, not from me. Why starving countries like somalia don't start to filter seawater that's just next to them to drink and grow food right now? Because they can't.

  • @24000RPM there isn't going too be a water war in 2050, for valid reason. No.1, the worlds most poweful nations like america, china and the UK all have loads of money and can easily filter water and the rainfall in those countries is also adequate too keep the open reservoirs filled, and the only countries that might "run out" are poor ones with no prominent military force anyway, so what foundations is this so called water war based on? None, there will be no war.

  • @wo0obly Again, it's scientists that came up with the war for water thing, not me. So say they are wrong if you want i don't care. Fact is there won't be enough water for everyone to drink on. Also i don't see your reason that much valid and if i have to believe a group of scientists that studied the case mathematicly or someone on youtube that kinda says "no, that's crap, everything will be fine" , sorry but i'll trust the scientists.

  • @24000RPM Believe what you want too, there will be no war though. You can trust your internet scientists, or you can trust common sense. Get some evidence that there will be a war and i will believe you, not just "scientists say there will be so there will".

  • @SnokeZ we won't evolve by then lol, we don't because animals evolve too overcome obstacles. What do we have too overcome xD and 2000 years isn't enough time too evolve.

  • @SnokeZ Evoluate?

  • @SnokeZ Humans probably will evolve again, but most definitely not by the year 4000. I would probably have to say something around 7,000,000 years from now. But that's just an educated guess.

  • @NOOP1999 I think that evolution is an ongoing process, and we're evolving all the time - but so slowly that we don't even notice.

  • @ndrthrdr1 True, true. I suppose that didn't occur to me.

  • Q. What do you call a thousand Fundamentalist Preachers with locks and chains around their necks, and sitting on the bottom of a shallow sea?

    A. A good start.

  • this is so helpful im doing a project on whale evolution and how mammals went back into the sea to become whales thanks

  • it reminds me of an otter, not a whale

  • WTH I thought we came from fish? Isn't that the latest thing? Well we'll see what they say next week. A falling rock on the way down it became something and we came from that. lol

    keep the love and peace

  • Ooh, beautiful CGI.

  • this kinda stuff is so interesting

  • why, why do all of these preachers make us christians look bad?! I'm a christian and i believe in evolution >.> nobody cares wat u believe in, its wat u believe so keep it to urself. its u people who make religion look bad.

  • @Tyler31246

    agreed, i believe in evolution too, it's called looking at the evidence and making decisions...

  • @Tyler31246 ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get really happy when I hear that. A ton of Priests and other people I talked to said that God could have used evolution! However alot of people here on Youtube believe only in creation. And some only in evolution. God helped evolution is the truth!

  • @IndianaJ25 What makes it the truth? Simply because we do not YET know for sure how life began does I suppose mean one can toss a God into that gap of knowledge, but I have no idea what good it does. Why do you prefer to do so? I'm not attacking you, I am honestly curious. It's not an explanation, if anything it makes a complicated question even more complicated does it not?

  • @Subfightr I was born believing in God and will continue believing. I'm not just throwing that idea in there.

  • @IndianaJ25 Thank you for responding :) I still don't understand, I'm not sure you answered any of the questions (not that you have to) I'm just trying to understand the mentality. In what way are you not just sticking a God in there, simply because you have believed in a God all of your life does not help me understand why you feel a "God helped evolution" you called it truth, how do you know it to be truth? Belief = truth? "I will continue believing" I am not trying to persuade you otherwise.

  • @Tyler31246 Even though I am an Atheist I totally agree with you, creationists/preachers do aid in making religion look bad. I wish all christians were like you my friend :) Sadly I don't personally know a single one like you, I simply know they exist. I'm curious, if I may, what makes you call yourself a christian? Is it more of a Deistic view, IE you simply believe in a God, or do you believe in the story of Jesus, resurrection etc? Just asking cause I have never talked to someone like you.

  • @Subfightr i believe in one god, heaven and hell, and i believe jesus christ died for us ^_^ thats wat i believe makes u christian, not to preach to others, cuz i dont think jesus said "ive died to relieve u of ur sins, now worship me and force others to do so aswell" :/

  • @Tyler31246 thank you for responding.

  • @Subfightr u r welcome :D

  • @Tyler31246

    Yeah these extremist guys SUCK, they make all religions look bad. BTW I'm a Muslim and I can't stand extreme evil groups like wahhabis and al qaeda that make Muslims look bad. And i also accept evolution. I won't say "believe" cuz it's not a belief, it's an evident scientific fact without metaphysical mysteries and requires ZERO faith from a person. A person can't really "disbelieve" in basic tested and established scientific evidence without coming across as a total dumbass IMO.

  • @susumu07

    So you are a Muslim to gain benefit from the holidays or do you also believe in Allah as well as evolution?

  • @ItsTheBibby That's a bizarre question. I don't think anyone becomes a Muslim to "gain benefit from the holidays". There simply aren't that many of them. And they're not about getting presents the way Christmas is.

    Like I said before, one doesn't "believe" in evolution, since it doesn't actually require faith. Believing in Allah is not a barrier to accepting the overall validity of a time-tested scientific theory. The Qur'an doesn't contain a detailed creation story such as genesis.

  • @Tyler31246 im a moslim and i agree,evrybody can believe what they believe :D

  • @Tyler31246 same I am Christian but I believe in evolution :D

  • @Tyler31246 ur being ironic

  • @Danielfallz indeed :3 but is it not a good view on things?

  • @Tyler31246 Christianity says all existing lifeforms are created by "god" and are supposed to stay the way they are. So that the fossil remains from an ancestor of a nowdays existing lifeform just can't be true, and is a "heresy". So if you believe in evolution by definition you can't be christian. I don't believe in any "god" and even I know that. You don't even know about your own religion. It's like someone considering himself as a muslim but eating pork chops every week. lol.

  • @24000RPM i believe in christ and god :P the bibles a laod of shit though xD humans wrote it, humans are fked up xD

  • @Tyler31246 your religion tells you to believe that a man and woman, the first people on earth, just magically appeared here when some big guy in a beard got bored and decided to make a toy called 'earth'. these two people are the ancestors of every human alive today? bull shit.

    if thats what you believe, keep it to YOURself, instead of trying to wrongly educate the population of youtube.

  • @LegendInMyMind lol i dont i believe in christ and god, thats all i need to be christian :3 i believe god created evolution and god cant be understood and never will :P im not trying to educate anyone xD i love peoples opinions :D also a couple things, man made the bible, so most of it is lies anyway, and i can edit my beliefs in many ways, but as long as i believe in christ, im christian :P

  • @Tyler31246

    But doesn't believe in evolution counter being christian? I'm defiantly says against the bible.

  • @ItsTheBibby I believe in christ and god, fuck what humans wrote to describe their existance :/ being gay is against the bible, that dont stop meh xD humans just wanted to make their world the way they wanted it

  • @Tyler31246 Uhm... I just read the second sentence I wrote in my last comment and wanted to rephrase that...

    I ment to say "I'm pretty sure technology is against the bible."

    But can you be christian if you don't follow the bible?

  • @ItsTheBibby of course u can :3 christian believe in christ thats y theyre called christians ^-^ i just dont think a book written by humans shud be taken as the word of god :/ and besides, if technology is against the bible, y arent all christians amish? :3

  • @Tyler31246

    Because Christianity is very hypocritical. And believing in The Bible is believing it is the word of god. And to be Christian you need to believe in The Bible, else you're something else.

    Its like saying i'm a mathematical freak and then think equations are stupid.

  • @ItsTheBibby christianity is an amzing religion that teaches fairness love through the word of god and christ, thats what i believe, i think im more of open minded christian than one that does what hes told in a book :\

  • @Tyler31246 I was raised a Catholic, Catholics accept evolution. But I suppose you zealots believe we're going to hell just like everyone else...

  • @EoceneRoxton Me? a zealot? xD wow, really?

  • ahahahaha Whale eats horse. Funny.

  •  vvvvv

  • This explains why whales are mammals, since mammals first evolved on land.

  • @SilverThunder

    Certainly no offense intended, but anyone who believes that any part of evolution happened/happens in leaps and bounds has no understanding of the evolutionary process....but thanks for your comment..... :)

  • Austalopithecus didn't walk upright. Just look. The hole in it's skull were its spine starts is in the same place as that of a fox. Maybe he only walked upright in special events.

  • The world in Germany during Eocene seems a bit freaky: Horses only slightly bigger than cats, whales half landliving and a huge 500 kg killer bird!

  • I don't get the those that refuse evolution. It seems that most of them feel that their faith is threatened do to the biases of that faith resting solely on the genesis myth. I'm an atheist but, I see no reason why the faithful can't accept evolution as the how as opposed to the why. Maybe if there is a god he/she/it could have just set it in motion and let nature do it's thing. Just a thought.

  • @atchisrj1: Most christians do accept evolution. It is only the most fundamental forms of protestantism which deny it on the basis of Bible literality.

  • Naw, you don't let nature do it's thing. I believe they were created via evolution under the guidance of an intelligent being. Though I don't believe we evolved. Things happened in too many leaps and bounds for the theory of evolution to not have someone guiding it. See, I think it's funny you say that actually, because I don't understand how it can be refused that someone was guiding this. P.S. I hate debating my beliefs, respond if you want but I'm done and not threatened by evolution. : )

  • @archisrj1, probably because they believe the earth was made in 7 days.. no time for evolution in there.. eh?

  • @siryumi well 7 days or 1, how many days was the Earth made? How had your soul evolved? where did it start? cyano bacteria? can u get inside the soul of cyano bacteria? oh it does not exist because you can't get into it right?! what a dumbass.

  • @randominitializer Oh and you do realise this whole arguement started because you can't mind your own? I wasn't talking to you in the first place. I was being sarcastic with archisrj1, and you called me a dumbass.. when you believe souls are real. More mythology. So what happened to the greek gods? They aren't real because they don't mention the creation of souls? Greek mythology makes more sense then most religions do today.

  • @siryumi hey why do write in public places if u take offense when someone replies to you? do it privately then cry baby.

  • @atchisrj1 yes but the problem is with the people who support evolution use it to refute God's existence and doing so they deny without proofs your 2nd assumption of God setting up the evolution process. That's also fundamentalism. and any kind of fundamentalism would definitely make the other group uneasy.

  • @randominitializer How is offering an option fundamentalism?

  • @atchisrj1 where do you exactly see "offering an option is fundamentalism"?

  • @randominitializer You claimed that saying "Maybe if there is a god he/she/it could have just set it in motion and let nature do it's thing." was a form of fundamentalisam. I am offering a "maybe" If theists wish to prove it then in a way I guess it's a challenge. If there be a god let them prove it is hat I was getting at. How is a maybe fundamentalisam?

  • @atchisrj1 there's a misunderstanding. I did not say that line was fundamentalism. I actually supported that line as an opinion or educated suggestion in a world where ideas should be free. The problem is that I find supporter of evolutionary theory who aggressively campaign for using evolution hypothesis to stop all other possible theories to exist in this human society extremists. And there are quite a few of them nowadays.

  • @randominitializer I do not blindly follow scientist. I follow the facts, I follow what makes sense. Religion is just a fairytale that forces people to blindly worship a higher being. You are not of science, you just go on google and look up anything that makes you seem smart. You use google to find big words that makes you seem smart. The human mind is a super computer, how do you think we have such good memory? How are we so smart?

  • @siryumi what facts do you follow? the ones created by urself? well it seems like it. who are you tell me i am of science or not lol. human is a super computer and yet u don't believe there was no creator of the computer. u r not only stupid but a hypocrite. a computer does not have a mind. a computer only does that a programmer tells it to do. if human being is like a computer, then surely someone programmed it. oh sorry you are not just smart enough to understand that. rot in ur imagination.

  • @randominitializer I'm done with you, all you do is blabber. Good bye.

  • @randominitializer I'm done with you, all you do is blabber. Good bye. This pointless arguement will never end because people like you force ideas into other's heads and don't listen to anything themselves. Shut up, and stop sending me comments. Go preach to someone else, and learn correct grammer.

  • @siryumi *grammar

    lolololololol

  • @skateboarding118 Thank you for correcting that. >_>

  • @randominitializer you are stupid for calling people dumbass with phrases full of grammatical faults...hypocrism is cool :D

  • @randominitializer

    hey - search draw mohhamed day on google! I think you'll like it hehe

  • @randominitializer Funny how people 5-10 thousand years ago were as dumb as apes, isn't it? So you believe that souls are real? Souls are like parasites then, they use the body and leave when it dies.

  • @randominitializer PS my mind is open to any possibility. I thought about "what if some "higher being" set everything in motion" long ago, but there is no reason to constantly put fear into the minds of children, forcing them to worship this being.

  • @siryumi you are really a dumbass:) i am convinced on that. go do some study. it will help you.

  • @randominitializer Quit downing anyone who follows the facts. Evolution didn't happen in just a few years. Not everyone uses it to " refute God's existence" Your forcing opinions and ideas onto others by replying to EVERYONE who mentions "evolution"

  • @randominitializer Oh, and speaking of science! Your religious aren't you? Christian? Explain this: How did "jesus" rise from the grave? Please, don't use Google to explain any of the facts this time.

  • @siryumi Jesus did not rise from grave.

  • @randominitializer Whats with those videos on your page? Your talking about evolution, science and god, when you have Allah videos. What the hell? No wonder your always throwing evolution out of the window.

  • @siryumi you are insane.

  • @randominitializer I'll say this again, You are not of science. You are throwing everything out of the window because it is not of "allahs" will.

  • @randominitializer i'm a dumbass? souls aren't real.. dumbass. quit asking dumb questions, look up some other videos.. scientist explains where bacteria come from. who knows if they're real or not.

  • @siryumi this is the problem with you guys who just blindly listen to bunch of so called theorists, out of hundred of thousands of scientists all around the world. I am in science and I know what I talk about. Souls aren't real, oh man what can i say after that. You think there is no difference between the mind of urs and and the mind of a robot? u think both u and bacteria have life but bacteria does not have a soul? lol speed of light is appr. 3x10^8 m/s but do u know why is it exactly that?!

  • @ANTIDARWINISMO

    HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA unbelievable. Are you real?

  • I don't understand how people can't just think that God left us too evolve?

  • no no no

    you're all wrong

    we are very very very very very lucky

    it's that simple

    lucky isn't it ?

  • AWSOME! THE FIRST EVER WHALE!!!!!

  • no wrong you are an idiot go kill yourself

  • What, all I did was point out that you are factually wrong, and suggested a remedy for this, which would prevent you from annoying people in the future with your ignorance.

  • I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! SHUT UP!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Evolution has nothing to do with the origin of matter. It deals ONLY with the diversity of life on Earth.

  • And I suppose God just created himself did he or just appeared out of thin air?? Or has he just always been there? Yeah LMFAO!

  • I see you don't confirm your own stance. Mock other peoples but scared to affirm your own. Hmmm...are you a politician I wonder? lol Just confirm if you believe what I've just previously put please. (My jaw is ready to howl with laughter).

  • @MG42pillbox by matter, you mean god?

  • ads by Google keep brainwashing me to save on car insurance. Youtube is slowly becoming commercially driven.

  • /watch?v=pqR7cT0XZVM

    Watch all 7, Stop hiding from science and stop lying to yourselves sheeple..

  • Awesome to think how much they've evolved; 100% aquatic, sonar, primitive signs of culture/companionship...

    Whales are fucking rad.

  • Does your religion allow you to say bull shit? Just wondering if god's watching you and you have to pray for forgiveness for posting that.

  • Im not religious, I believe what science can prove, and what I can see with my own eyes. BBC or National Geo makes up science for sheeple like you to believe in. You however are religious, you believe in something you have never scene happen, and that has yet to be proven. Congratulations.

  • please explain why you think this show is not based on facts and science?

  • I guess your parents never subscribed to National Geographic magazines when you grew up as a kid and BBC is not a reliable source of world news to you.

    Thanks for your response, even though it makes no sense to me.

  • FAIL

  • The bible does not prohibit swearing. Hell, Damn, Ass.

    MG42 doesn't have to repent for that, although he will lose the attention of those he is trying to convince.

    Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

  • oh never mind, he's not religious. He just posts creationist videos for atheists to watch.

  • you are full of crap! do we have any evidence of god? no!

  • I am a marine biologist and I must say I was very surprised to see this video! I think it must be an elaborate hoax!

  • I think your claim to being a marine biologist is a hoax.

  • this is not marine biology, marine biology is the science of organisms in marine(underwater) habitat. this paleontology, It is about evolution and long dead creatures from other eras.And such things.

    Why would this be a hoax?

  • seniorcitizenful, you are a marine biologist? One of the 10 commandments is being broken, here... Maybe if you pray you will be forgiven. After all, your life is for a good cause, right?

  • He/she is not a marine biologist. A marine biologist would see that this video has nothing to do with marine biology.

    I mean usually scientists are aware of the content in their specific research-area.

  • I wish they would have shown when the whale turns into a elephant with wings. :o)

  • ha im the whale my sister is the horse cuz i always scare her like that!! LOL

  • 2:10

    Best quote in this documentary.

  • damm mr horse got away

  • I am guessing the walking-whale failed at getting its prey because they didn't want to animate it.

  • propaleotherium KAWAI!!! so CUTEEE!! looks like a deer-horse!! i want oneee :p

  • i know its soooo cute ^^ and its ogt even cuter over evolution ^^

    when that whale thing went to eat it i started shouting "RUN, RUN LITTLE FILLY!"

  • luckily he got away :-D

  • propaleotherium are so cute,

    i want one!!!

  • some of the best CG i've seen

  • since when do whales eat horses ??????

  • 1995

  • the planet would be better (atleas for the rest of the lifes here) if we where not here. but hey were probely gona go exterminated soon enouf anyway...

  • they did! millions of years ago!

  • Weird. Whales don't eat horses nowadays.
