  • "It began in the sea" ... where did the sea come from?

  • Happy birthday Charles Darwin.

  • cooool

  • 62 people are retards

  • @aaadddd1000 I think the proper term is creationist.

  • @aaadddd1000 64, including me.

  • To deny science and evolution is doing a great disservice to what people term god. If god created life then there was a natural process set in motion, that process being evolution.

  • So much win!

  • Life is the matter that makes up the whole universe that organizes itself by its own principle of negentropy - at the edge of chaos. Then it generates intelligence, and intelligence observes its surroundings. Ergo we are matter, observing itself - the universe that realizes its existence and proceeds to further complexity.

  • @FallenAngel10412 Proof of big bang: Background radiation, expanding universe. The amout of antimatter = the amout of matter = 0 meaning that everything can come from nothing.

    Proof of a god: None, other than people saying he's real.

    I think I'll stick to the big bang-theory. It got more evidence on its side :)

  • Life is the universe's realization of itself.

  • That was a very good movie. It is very informitave of the relatedness and diversity is life. The CG images are beutiful. I was wondering whether they were going to show non-mammal synapsides (aka mammal-like reptile). They may be obscure, but I think they are totally cool. At the end they showed mammals. I think that was close enough. Showing all the groups would take forever. It would lose appeal for a general audience.

  • C'mon there is no Evolution, there never was. We are just an experiment and life is just a game. I found my truth, now go and find yours. :)

  • @TheProdigySupreme Yeah I found it, it's in this video.

  • This video is the best way to fight religious fundementalism and educate the ignorant all in one go. Stunning video;

  • so this has nothing to do with a tree.. sadface.

  • @1607Link Hahahahah!!! The Moon supports life???!!! It supports nothing but ocean tides and eclipses. It's a freakin' rock orbiting the Earth, not a star!!! Jesus! You fail so hard! Amino acids do polymerize - but form proteins, NOT DNA, dumbass!!! They are not nucleotides, nor pyridine and purine based compounds in DNA or RNA. They are something different. But in both cases, the peptide bonds between amino acids and the phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides form spontaneously!!! You FAIL!

  • @FallenAngel10412 The Sun only has a life of about 12 billion years. The moon moves away to far in just 20 million years. No life has been able to be produced from attoms or amino acids in a lab either dna, or bacteria or viruses, nor has it ever been observed in nature. It was God who set things into motion and not the science laws of man.

  • @1607Link How do you know God did it?

  • Comment removed

  • This video moves me in a way that no ridiculous concept about magic old men who live in the sky ever could...

  • @FallenAngel10412 Yeah I suppose the idea of women being made out of ribs is far more feasable

  • @tool2342 lol you guys are funny, whats wrong with that lol and big bang theory WTF is that shit lol not EVEN possible, NOT even a millisecond possible, and water earth fire and a planet the HELL these elements CANT create each other and create a planet, so water some HOW evaporated in volcanos, lol dumass, your FAIL SCIENCE CANT EXPLAIN shit, you dont even know shit about the universe, LIKE IN science PROVE HOW GOD DOESNT EXIST.

  • @FallenAngel10412 Your answer is so dumb I'm inclined to think you are just a troll pretending. LOL, just LOL...

  • @tool2342 lol hahahh, I like how you think everything is funny LMFAO lol :>

  • @FallenAngel10412 You can thank science for everything useful on this planet, like toothbrushes, medices, space travel, cars etc. You can thank religion for the dark ages, prohibition of condoms, witch-hunting, homophobia, extremists and the Westboro baptist church.

  • @FallenAngel10412 Not sure if trolling or just stupid.

  • This movie is HEAVY! I'm a believer in God, but I also like this "Tree of Life" Idea. Might explain why it wasn't necessary to fit every land dwelling animal that now exists, into a container only the size of 3 football fields to save them from destruction. The most moving theme of this movie is how our surroundings added with our natural craving for competition, make us tick . Will our competitive nature destroy us or will God step in and provide for us what we can't evolve, leadership.

  • I love this one. Hope it can explain some overall image to people who are not given opportunity to learn about the history of life.

  • Meeeeeeep  = =

  • wow now i see the man behind the voice ....awsome haha

    

  • I don't want to seem unappreciative, but this is full of a misleading and common misconception that leads many to find this explanation hard to believe, and that is the idea that the creatures had some active role in "developing" or "encasing" or "making use of" their adaptations. The adaptations have been occurring more or less arbitrarily, but the nature of them determines whether they proliferate by being advantageous or disappear. And that is determined by forces independent of the organism.

  • great video.

  • amazing, now i will wait my toyota sedan evolve into bugatti veron XD

  • man has in human terms just started to developed to use his inteligent thought to create and explore, he has found reason to answers about the planet we live on and in doing so found the creation and evolution of human beings, religion of ANY kind was used to give faith to people that didnt know then, hence FAITH, now we know the origin of the species, religion is no longer needed. oh i'll go straight to hell for that one lol.

  • @daleanderin1 like in everything there is always a beginning, your stupid crap about how man was, lol thats your opinion.

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful clip nonetheless.

  • This all points to the flood.

  • what a joke, Do not misguided by devil, Anyway i will pray for you guys

  • @ziar5 Nice argument ;) Would you like some logic and proof with that?

  • @MrEroticWalrus only class 1 would believe this my friend, there are enoug evedence go srech by ur self for the truth, read the bibel and u will know where ur standing and ur place in the world

  • @ziar5 I dislike pointing out spelling and grammar, but let's jsut say would not be surprised if english 3rd language.

    Anyway, by search I'm assuming you mean ignore most scientific evidence and look for some extreme views that help reinforce a faith? Also yeah wouldn't use bible as reliable reference. Even if just look at from a philosophical and moral point of view it not that 'deep'.

    Basically good does not come from god but from within us, and science is not the 'devil' :P

  • Comment removed

  • @MrEroticWalrus Well sorry for my english im not american, Anyway I believe only word of god so i keep it to the bible, u good luck with ur scientific

  • @ziar5 Well at least you not agressive thankyou :) But you are falsely patronising it appears lol.

    I'm not american either btw, english =/= american for future reference :D

  • @ziar5 But the devil is the good guy, he punishes bad people :)

  • @imagewise . you mean evolution or the bible? this gargled bullshit makes more sense than the wisdom of cattle-sacrificing primitives who thought every animal species in the world lived within walking distance of noah's house.

  • 57 cock polishing fundamentalist christians.

  • Magnets?

    How do they work?

    Insert pretentious symbolism here.

  • i changed my oil in my car today, i am one smart monkey.....?

  • what caused the molecules to come together? there has to be a cause

  • @EdifiedBeatz . god cause them to come together. happy? now go back to church.

  • Such a cool video that i watched itt in class and am now watching it in my spare time lol

  • It's amazing how scientific discoveries match what we, that believe in God, think. The only difference is that some think it's all a big accident and others believe in a Creator.

    It's nice that this movie respects both points of views.

  • oh man, how i love this video.

  • Hey dumb-ass, modern genetic theory only states that all life on A GIVEN PLANET is ALMOST ASSUREDLY related!

  • Mute the video.

    Play Massive Attack's Angel as the animation starts.

  • If you are a truth seeker, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click on the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says. Everyone needs to see this. The Present will turn this world right-side up if it reaches enough people.

  • What use did flaps on the backs of insects have before they were used for flight? Why were useless flaps selected for?

  • @pbmcgimpsey I was wondering that.

  • better graphics, that's it. same story.

  • Beleive evolution is real, you must be very far in denial to not see it. But I also beleive there is a higher being. Though earth out of the entire universe for him to focus all his/her/its/their attention and making us such a big screaming deal is little far.

  • @Roulden That sounds like 'deism'.

  • How come the only Youtube comments on science videos are all either from fundamentalist wackjobs or teleological atheists (people who believe the existence of evolution somehow disproves God)?

    Many religious thinkers have always accepted something like evolution, and some, like Mendel, helped create it. It was centuries ago that scholars understood that the book of Genesis was not a literal document, for many obvious reasons. Unfortunately, uneducated people do not understand this.

  • damn, that guy is enthusiastic for an old man...

  • @PrevailingDanger absolutly, he's amazing

  • This video isn't about evolution! Obviously it's a review of Spore. lol

    Imagine this same guy to then go on talking about a single tribe winning out and becoming a space-traveling race who conquers the galaxy! lol

  • the same old b@ll@cks they brainwash you with at school.

    let me go back to the stars

  • Begone idiots. This is a rational video with what should be logical comments.

    Im sure there's a video that says "GOD DID IT" that should validate your beliefs somewhere else.

  • Are we suppose to believe all of this happened without God?

  • the truth is noone knows what the fuck theyre talkin about. god may exist, maybe everything is just random. but honestly it is so complex that even scientists are totally ignorant. saying that you believe what you do because "you use logic" and the other side doesnt, is totally more stupid than any guess you could have

  • @tbonez619

    so because we don't know how it happened, god did it? typical creationists retardation

  • Stop arguing in the commets.

    First of all, do you really think YOU all are qualified for it? Or that it bears any consequences?

    Second of all, it's "theory of" evolution. which means "fact" (i know its confusing for creationists too). it is the highest grade of credibility possible in our universum, that title. Like the theory of gravity or the theory of magnetism. Unless you think that gravity is a "theory", stop arguing cuz its a fact! and just enjoy that tallented british narrator!

  • @AngelBiLove Thank you!

    Hopefully some of these people would just float the fuck away.

  • Really? And why would he need to do that if environmental changes interacting with random mutations do the job perfectly well?

  • i think that god could have created all of this and modified the genomes constanly to creat all things

  • when i see life, it reminds me so much of a video game, just like when we were little and we would see the rectangle planet on a cartoon, and the planet grew rectangle trees and rectangle fruit. Our planet mimics this behavior with vibration mirroring and Fibonacci sequence, its so amazing how much of a video game we are, and we just dont get it, i dont get it.

  • Beautiful

    and to those that dislike this only shows that you are lacking a soul and you do not care to recognize the true beauty that is life.

  • Comment removed

  • This clip... Someone's been reading too much Aristotle. Every species continues in a single line upwards, and then splits into two... HA! Darwin killed that idea. Species aren't stationary lines with binary splits. Sure looks fancy though being able to represent a certain species with a line. Very convenient. They should pay royalties to Aristotle for using his idea of species categories.

  • the planet was made by a big bang nt god god ent true if he was why would he let use kill the earth and let all the wars go on and let his son die. so god nt really alll god belivers go take some meds cuz ur talking to ur self and i say that to every person cume up to me and says do u belive. and life on the planet was made from one little germ

  • the planet was made by a big bang nt god god ent true if he was why would he let use kill the earth and let all the wars go on and let his son die. so god nt really alll god belivers go take some meds cuz ur talking to ur self and i say that to every person cume up to me and says do u belive

  • Don't feed the trolls, please! They will not accept reality, even if all the evidence was braught forward to them.

  • It's impossible to talk sense to those who believe in fairy tales. While scientists, philosophers and agnostics say, ok, give me proof and I may change my mind," those who belittle science and the natural world do so because they're terrified they may be wrong. There's a nagging feeling in the back of their minds that tells them what they believe is really preposterous. Their only hope is to argue as loudly as they can. And the rest of us act as though we're dealing with intelligent people.

  • If you believe in God AND the theory of evolution, where did man get his sin from if he did not eat of the tree?

  • the teachings of life by religion can go hand in hand with Science. God uses science to create his miracles and all that we see in nature. I see everything in life was set forth by God and the rest is done by itself. God just set the time, he applied the 'magic touch' so science can do its wonders. THATS what I believe. Why do these different forces of beliefs and knowledge have to oppose each other when they can actually compliment each other.

  • Religious people argue evolution is wrong, life is too complex and requires a God. But a God would be the most complicated being to ever live, yet doesn't need a creator? TALK ABOUT HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT! LOL

  • Seriously, Youtube needs to get this "anonymouspersonifica" spam off of here. Please don't feed the troll, you guys...

  • @adelsaint

    Thanks! Have a wonderful day! (only supporting my beliefs)

  • @anonymouspersonifica

    Wait, what? >.<

  • Why has this "anonymous" fellow spammed up this video? fuckin troll

  • @adelsaint Some bozo who believes that stuff that was written "thousands" of years ago with the intention of being a guide to live your life (not to be taken litterally) holds more truth today than actual scientific supported evidence

    btw "anonymous" if you're by any chance reading this: what makes your christian idea the truth? i mean, the jews were around long before the christians, and what about our muslim friends? maybe they're right? oh no, of course not! the vikings must have been, duh..

  • Sorry the last reply was supposed to be to @Jordharpo

  • The people you consider "Smart" are actually foolish if their evidence and works go COMPLETELY against the Bible facts... 

  • @anonymouspersonifica "Bible facts," is an Oxy-moron. Your bible is based on ignorance and and faith.

  • @OhmgrownCron

    Thanks for pointing that lie out. At least there is something to have faith in unlike these lies.

  • @anonymouspersonifica I'm telling you right now science is going to prove that the Bible consist of just stories and almost if not completely no facts think about the Ark of Noah an impossible story right and if Adam and Eve were really the first two humans on Earth wouldn't that lead to incest i don't have anything against you having a religion but keep it to yourself please

  • @assannight I'm pretty religious at an extent but you are absolutely right. its things like that that don't make sense to me. Ever watched episodes of Ancient Aliens on the discovery channel...their side of the story is pretty remarkable and makes more sense. :P

  • @assannight

    I would keep it to myself but, now that you've said the Bible was full of stories, let me show you something. Noah's Ark- An ark on top of a mountain, ALREADY found. Big Bang- An explosion from "nothing" (not possible) Adam and Eve- Incest was only made possible after their fall because of sin. And one more thing, look at the complexity of nature around you. Do you seriously think that there is no God? Then all who believe that there isn't any God are blind.

  • @anonymouspersonifica The tree of life just explained the complexity of natur.e now ok you might be right and there might be a god but tell me why is there a Hell or is there no such thing who "made up" god WE HUMANS did alright even the greek people did it to explain why something exist now science consist of reliable facts. It might take longer than Earth can last but i believe that one day we'll figure out how things work i'm not disproofing the bible just bringing up facts here.

  • @anonymouspersonifica P.S i completely understand your idea of things because how come the universe was created or where did it all start but those are things we don't have answers to since you can't prove nor disprove the presence of a god in this case your God

  • @anonymouspersonifica If you love this planet, you will help us all by not reproducing.

    PS: Noah's ark has been supposedly found about 7 times by now. It is rare that a Christian expedition group didn't find at least something leading to their version of Noah's Ark.

  • @1MadVirus1

    I do love this planet and YES i will not reproduce (don't want to :D) but compare findings to the facts on the Bible because any of those 7 could be lies but one is the true one

  • @sophthebest1

    Oh, sorry. I DO have a low level on reading comprehension in school, so.... :D

    But I DON'T think that God puts the fault on someone else... Sure He sacrificed His Son and all the sins were cast on Him but that isn't necessarily putting the fault on someone else. (Correct me if I misread your post again)

  • @ConservativePlanet

    Show me at least 2 pieces of evidence, I WILL prove it with thousands...

  • @sophthebest1

    If it's something the humans invented, please tell me, who made the humans?

  • yea god but not that kind of god the way scientists think about god is different the god of nature itself do u know the scientists successed creating the first seed of life so human are god? that's how funny..

  • @awayoutmovement

    Whoever spammed this, knows how true this is. Thanks for posting this truth even with all these lies around...

  • OK, then I have one question only,the #1 Question who no one ever answer it : From where did that complex chimical molecul's(first live form) formed? Who had put them there? GOD ?

    If there any human on this planet who can answer this question ?

  • i love this mans hand gestures, just mute the video and watch haha

  • I want a Word-version of that type of hirarchy tree!

    the curvy devisions D: i want that!! i want to create a tree of life like that on my pc. Does anyone know where/how?

  • all very entertaining, but they cannot prove a single word of this in terms of mutations and new species..not a word. I'm sorry, although I believe that humans have become, for the most part, a virus on Earth, I don't believe we were ever bacteria with ambitions lol

  • @krecikowi be relevant, I mean: "birds can't create monkeys"?

    I want to be clear: one part of the reptiles evolved into bird, another part evolved into small mammals... and other reptiles didn't evolve (like crocs, turtles, snakes etc)

    So birds can't evolve into monkeys (which are mammals). Do you have other irrelevant comments?

  • @Jordharpo you missed my point. Focus when you read.

    I'm not talking about evolutionary change in frog which resulted in apparency of new specie. Frog didn't sit under a tree and think: Hmm, today I'm going to evolve into e.g elephant. Change in frog was independent from frog itself. This change just happen to the frog.

    Imagine yourself. You are evolving RIGHT now, but you have no idea what will be result of that evolution :), and you are human not just a frog which doesn't even know it exist.

  • @krecikowi it's relateted to DNA-changes.... natural selection, no comment...

  • @krecikowi

    Frogs DO know they exist otherwise, the frogs would be just standing there or doing nothing (in other words, "Brain Dead"). And before you might say, "It's not only about frogs...", this is true with all beings of life. Prove to me I'm evolving, then I will listen to every word about this. I'm willing to do it because I know that "EVOLUTION" isn't even a fact. It's not even a reasonable theory!

  • @awayoutmovement You're a turd....

  • EVOLUUUUTION!

  • It's really funny, non-thinking people may fall for this nonsense; but those of us who think for ourselves are not buying the bull...Sorry...

  • @awayoutmovement and if you believe in a God, would you please don't disturb this video! just pray to a deaf, dumb and blind God who never explains.

    Everybody may believe in his kind of religion, but the smart ones... well, are the scientists

  • @Jordharpo Person who developed theory of Big Bang was a catholic priest. The smart ones knows that world can be billions year old and still understand their faith. Faith doesn't answer questions: HOW world was created but rather WHY. Science can't answer question: WHY am I here?

    However, catholicism is using science to learn about God's creation, since everything on this world is nothing more than God creation. So studding this world I'm actually learning about God design.

  • @krecikowi and science can answer that question why you are here... your parrents made you, I mean, I miss your point

  • @Jordharpo This is telling HOW but not WHY? How is explained by science... gametes etc. Why is explained by faith... they loved me before I was conceived :). I was created out of love. Same reason why God created all what is around us.

  • @Jordharpo

    You are one lucky man. That is because I don't know where you are and so I can't punch you...in the face. And the "Smart ones"? Who made them smart? No one, no matter how hard you try, can become smart without God's help! And let's get some few examples of smart and GOD-FEARING scientists: Einstein, Newton, Copernicus, Bacon, Kepler, Galilei, Descartes, Boyle, Faraday, Mendel, Kelvin, Planck, and I'm betting so much more because these are FAMOUS people.

  • @anonymouspersonifica

    Einstein, Newton, Galileo, and Mendel were atheists. I'm sure the rest were too.

  • @adelsaint correction Newton wasnt atheist and Mendel was a monk. duh.

  • @skcguerrilla

    Thank you! Finally someone is getting facts straight

  • FALSE...CHRIST is the only CREATOR... the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

  • @awayoutmovement and God created... evolution :).

  • @krecikowi I agree HE created all things and evolution was one of HIS many creations:)

  • @awayoutmovement you may believe that, no offense.... but evolution is pure scientific, and a God is no scientific prove :)

  • @Jordharpo what you mean by scientific prove? You mean you can't repeat "God experiment"?

    Can you repeat you own birth? No, you can't? One of main scientific principles is repeatability of events.

    But there are events like Big Bang, happened just once... but is scientific theory? Did you see it? Did you touch it? But you know it exist. Just for fun... can you prove it for me? Or you will have some difficulties... poor you... don't you understand Big Bang? ;)

  • @krecikowi and... have you seen your brains, did you touch you brain..... so, have you a brain? I mean?? have you ever heard of CERN? Science has proved everything...

    but hey, everyone has his faith, you may believe in God, no problems with that! Religion is a beautiful thing, but... it's just too obivious

  • @Jordharpo to believe in impossible is STUPID :). Do you agree? So, not everything what you believe is worth to believe. Tell me, why person like me (believer) doesn't have problem with evolution, age of universe AND faith? And You (non believer?) have problem with evolution AND faith?BTW. I'm catholic. You see, there is no conflict between science and faith (catholicism to be precise). Only atheist see that problem, apparently they don't know much about TRUE faith :P,

  • @krecikowi maybe not anymore, but that is a fairly recent development. Science, when its real, reproductive in other efforts/experiments, has value and supports biblical statements all the time, it has its place for sure, but this stuff is pure conjecture...no proof whatsoever...they are guessing....end of story.

  • @krecikowi I have no problem with evolution or faith :p and I'm not an atheist, I'm a moralist. Cause I've alreade said that faith is something beautiful, but I want to see more than that :) and man, science is life, that's the real world

  • @Jordharpohaha No, It’s Not so obvious. Science tries to reason 1 + 1 = 2!! But Life is not Like that. A man loses his son to a drunken drive. A woman is raped while helping a friend. A man cry's over the loss of his brother! Science does not tell us much about life, just obvious. I suppose one has to start by asking, "Do you believe in the human "Soul"? Or do you believe we are "Soulless”? How does science explain the love of a man for a woman or the love of a father for his son?

  • @TheVALLEYoftheDEAD *claps* well said. That's why I want to take philosophy!

  • @TheVALLEYoftheDEAD Science explains love. Love is not some magical thing that can't be explained. Pop an Ecstasy pill and see how many people you fall in love with. There is no such thing as a soul, what do you propose a soul is anyway?

  • @MsAgnosticatheist Tell me can you explain to me the difference in value between a chair, a child & table? & how would you determine that difference in value? Please justify your answer. Tell me are human beings & children just "Objects & Possessions"? When a woman is raped is there an "Explanation"? When she cry's is it just a "bodily function"? Are we just Machines? Is a child Disposable? Is life just a maths equation? Is love just a cheap Ecstasy pill? What do you think?

  • @TheVALLEYoftheDEAD You can't simply life in such a way. It unfolds in many different branches and paths, not only that, but the destination is unknown. We construct our own reality in a way. Animals with nervous systems can feel pain just like us, social animals that have complex social roles and have some of the same social systems that we have. You are afraid of losing your sense of self importance. We are special yet we are not special. Values are dependent on the group values.

  • @MsAgnosticatheist You have not answered any of my questions? Mainly the first ^ ^

    Can you explain to me the difference in value between a chair, a child & table? & How would you determine that difference in value? Who or what determines that "Value system"? Is There really such a thing as Wrong VS Right? Night VS Day? Or Life VS Death? Or do we just make it up as we go? I think you are more afraid That you do not Understand & are uncertain yourself ;)-

  • @TheVALLEYoftheDEAD Watch this video, realize that we are super complex, but grew from the molecules up over a period of 4 billion years. The value between a chair, child, and table vary depending on the person you are asking. Some people would value the chair over the child. A culture sets up the values and rules but we can also deviate from the 'norm'. You have to study into the sociology and respective science fields to get better answers about values, norms, etc.

  • @MsAgnosticatheist So basically we are just "molecules" & make it all up? I can rape a woman, Kill a child, buy a chair, Marry it. In "essence" i could treat you as a animal?? Your just a bunch of "Molecules". If You where weak in my eyes I could also then just kill you and call it, "encouraging "natural" selection!" -After all, its just, "Survival of the fittest". Its all up to me at the end of the day, you just "Molecules". LOL -Madness!! Your "Theories" lead to a world of Chaos & insanity.

  • @awayoutmovement You cannot believe in God and Evolution at the same time. What is your definition of God? If you believe that God is the Universe then yes, the Universe created us. You use the word HIS describing what God is. This alone is absolutely ridiculous because your God would not be a sex, it wouldn't be anything but a vague concept in your head with no meaning. If you are a Christian and believe in Evolution, you either no nothing about evolution or nothing about Christianity.

  • @MsAgnosticatheist This I know...CHRIST used Evolution or what ever you want to call it; to create us all..

  • @awayoutmovement what LAZY wishful thinking

  • @awayoutmovement

    I thought you based everything on the Bible!!! What's this "agreeing with evolution" thing?!!!
