Life of Insects - Attenborough: Life in the Undergrowth - BBC

[B4IRUTUARU16]

Either god loves creatures fucking with eachother in the most gruesome ways or he just doesn't really care

[dec5952]

How did a video about Gaul Wasps turn into a religious debate? O.o

[playguu]

geez i hope people have not eaten these by mistake

[EyeLikeElectro]

attenborough is natures chuck norris.

[JustinShaedo]

This is amazing. I grew up watching Sir Attenborough and I'm still fascinated by these nature documentaries today! Such fantastic camera work and detail.

[DorfMcAxebeard]

Some guy posts an inflammatory comment two years ago and people are still replying to it. Fuck that is funny, I don't hate religious people, I hate stupid people.

"lol religion is fake and gay!!1"

'YOR WRONG AND HERE'S WHY!!111'

Yeah, not like he posted that comment unrelated to the video just to get comments like yours and piss people off. And look, two years later it's still working.

[yes4roblox]

This is insects not other type of science and religons. Can't there be an SINGLE comment about a gall wasp!

[NothingX10]

the problem is not with religion, it is with people who seem to make it their business to care about what other people believe

who fucking cares?

[LongLiveAndros]

Oh silly atheists marked the two most popular comments. Science can only take you so far, I believe in God. But I know that I don't know if it's true, that is the only thing I am certain of. I can sit here and say God exists, and to me, I feel he does. However, at the same time I accept that there's quite a sizeable chance that he mightn't exist. @OhmySKoD and @xake19 you sound just as silly as the next devout believer with your false certainty, truth is. You DO. NOT. KNOW. You embarrass science

[PaulusIsHere]

Life is proteins, more specifically amino acids. Amino acids are made from Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen.

If I took you to a basketball court, blind folded you, gave you a basketball and told you to throw it in any direction you wanted from any location on the court you would eventually get the ball in the hoop.

It's not hard to imagine that given a stable environment these combinations of elements would allign to form the first amino acid.

Its Chaos and Time, not God.

[iNoticetheseThings]

@PaulusIsHere How did time begin; existence itself. What explanation could possibly explain the sudden initiation of being?? What was life or the lack thereof before the birth of elements that created space? Very interesting, these questions.

[PaulusIsHere]

@iNoticetheseThings

To quote carl sagan:

"We are a way for the cosmos to know itself".

Our bodies are comprised of the same elements that exists throughout the entire universe and yet they have arranged in such a way that we can somehow understand and question everything around us.

The questions you ask aren't nearly as interesting as to why TV shows like Jersey Shore and Pop Idol exist. Or why young children want to grow up to be movie stars or musicans rather than intellectuals :)

[Thumper396396]

If you look even deeper into Sumerian history and the Hindu history even that time frame could be questioned. I reckon humans have been on Earth close to 4 million years of course there is little evidence to back this up, but considering today we maybe live to 100, it's easy to lose vital information could easly be lost, even on purpose.

[barmheadshawt]

So a wasp spends half its life in a nut? that must suck.

[sonyaromanowski]

so cool !

[rumbleman65]

wasps are just total dickheads, facking hate them

[HoLOLcaust]

@rumbleman65 They exist solely to fuck shit up.

[Hudeization]

@rumbleman65 wasps man. i fucking hate those things!

[Twiztidninjas]

@rumbleman65 I hate the Blue bottle wasp ants.. not only do they hurt twice as much as a bull ant sting they dont bloody die, you can stomp the buggers 10 times and they are still wriggling around unharmed.

[vividDC]

You were an insect and you will be again if you do not learn the truth. For every human, there are over a billion insects on earth. Someone has to be those bugs, a lot of someones. They live in our world. True or false? Go to TruthContest(dot)com and read The Present to learn the truth.

[Roasdkill]

@vividDC im willing to take that risk :P

[D413373R]

damn nature u scary! :O

[drunksmokingjurkk]

dang that wasps dick is longer than their body

[Anomalocaris5634]

@drunksmokingjurkk lol that's not a dick, it's an ovipositor.

[xoxautumnxox]

that's what lady gaga would be if she's a wasp. humping seeds with her "penis" ;) 

[Rainheron]

i love the timelapse part it looks so badass

[Dreamerx47]

fuck you god fuck you

[kimbrady06]

@jiggaboo904 The size doesn't matter at all.

[kurt895]

[khalibre29]

[masharcool123]

it's amazing how many people believe that god creates al life, and don't beleive god has a brain and made cycles

[alexmini123]

i hate when people say god made us when god doesnt even fucking exist its literally not possible for him to be alive hes a huge myth i hope religion dies out

[Vlaew]

God works in mysterious ways. (FYI forward I'm agnostic)

[GarlandFraser]

Zinc. Her gourd drill is made of Zinc? Dear god!

[TimmahUK]

Ugh i hate creatures who do things like that at the end.

[Draknid]

[ErichoTTA]

You can spend all day watching videos by David Attenborough and never get bored.

[SovietMordor]

[superstrok99]

[trivuong]

[IllegalAmigo222]

@superstrok99 Do you have to bring God into this :/ Youtube is not a debate on God

[superstrok99]

@IllegalAmigo222

fail. just look at some video's. youtube is a big thing when debating on god

[Knife4kills]

[superstrok99]

@Knife4kills

[skyarsalan]

[janusx66]

@superstrok99

That's what they call nature ;)

Not god, wherever you belive in it or not :)

[NinjaBieber]

@superstrok99 All things happen for a reason. :P

[superstrok99]

@NinjaBieber

you like justin bieber? LOLOLOL

[NinjaBieber]

@superstrok99 Uh....yeah? I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, though.

[superstrok99]

@NinjaBieber

you replied 10 months late dude, but because of your name im guessing your a girl

[NinjaBieber]

@superstrok99 I haven't been replying to comments lately because everyone is constantly bugging me about my username (which is MY choice, by the way) so lol sorry for being late. And yes, I am a girl. :P

[PuppetMask]

@superstrok99 Yeah it makes so much more sense that a catastrophic explosion is responsible.

[superstrok99]

@PuppetMask

well: a giant invisible man flying and killing innocent people made by desert tribes in 10,000bc

or

a theory that scientists are trying to prove

hmmmm

[PuppetMask]

@superstrok99 Desert tribes were guessing, and in most cases so are scientists sure they have physics now but they will never have any proof without literally acheiving time travel. Ergo, none of us were there at whenever the beginning of time was, neither of us ever will be, and knowing what happens makes no difference. Both rigid theories by themselves are preposterous and knowing which ones "right" won't change anything so why waste time? Go make a sandwich and go to the beach or something.

[Isanion]

@PuppetMask except that evolutionary theory has enabled the development of numerous medical treatments for all sorts of conditions, from better treatments for bacterial infections to knowing which types of plants may hold the keys to anti-malarial medicines. Evolution is not known as the unifying theory of biology for nothing.

And as for needing time travel... no one has ever seen a living dinosaur, but paleontologists can still tell you that the Triceratops was a herbivore

[PuppetMask]

@Isanion Yes, but who cares if it was a herbivore? Knowing that also doesn't benefit anything. I'm not saying that the evoulutionary theory is wrong, I'm saying that the idea that it all came from a random explosion is as unlikely as a man with a beard in the sky deciding to make it all happen. We won't ever really know, but knowing that won't cure any bacterial ailments, nor will it keep the same desert tribes from killing each other over a 'misinterpretation' of some holy manuscript.

[DrewsAreGood]

@PuppetMask Who said it was an explosion? The big bang theory deals with the inflation of the universe from a singularity. Nothing to do with a random explosion...

However, the theory is far from complete, and those working in the field of cosmology will admit that.

You seem to look down on attaining new knowledge of the natural world. Please pick up a science book and be amazed!

Peace from Norway

[PuppetMask]

@DrewsAreGood Thank you for the peace from Norway. Also don't misunderstand me I'm not against learning things I simply don't like to spend time guessing about this one particular subject because attaining an answer that is incontravertably correct is not possible.

[powereater]

some scientist belive that wasp are a specie of bees that MANAGED TO ASSIMILATE A FUCKING VIRUS, which results in their parasitic manner of reproduction.

[juicyredwombat]

@powereater have you got a reference for that?

[xake19]

It is a SCIENTIFIC FACT that modern human Homo sapien have been here for at least 1 million years ago and before that Home habilis and Homo erectus 2 millions ago. Christianity as a religion came about only 2 thousand years ago and paganism existed only about 10,000 yrs ago. And oh yes, Harry Potter was written only a few years ago. All are fiction.

[Mysyca]

Couldnt Agree More Man

[LORD0fPEACE]

@xake19 Dude christian religion is about 2000 years ago and paganism existed still from time of Jesus when they kill him and have infected the truth of christian religion with their falls faith wich exist today too.. How your scientific mind could tell me how the first life appears from no life ??? Could science demonstrate that in a laboratory ?NEVER and that is a fact! because the live can be provide from another life you are not a monkey but a monkey is much intelligent then you boddy .

[Solarisknight05]

@xake19 for you dude and all the other people like you: SHUT THE HELL UP! YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN OUR RELIGION SO BE IT! SHUTTUP! I KEEP ON BELIEVING MY RELIGION AND YOU GO LIVE YOUR LIFE WITHOUT A GOD. EVERYBODY HAPPY. damn i hate you people, that comment isn't even related on the video.

[hermstastic]

@xake19 ATHIEST

[Fiinniinnii]

H O LY S H I T

i never heared or saw anything like that

im scared now and impressed

WOW

[ypbohyn]

zinc .... really!? thats freakin awesome! =)

[RealKengeki]

Obviously a lot of '3d' was involved, and it was done very beautifully. This is probably the first insect-related video that I found interesting.

[munificent1000]

how the heck did the camera man get in the corny thing????...man he must be tiny....lol

[chrgrfn]

lol

[BHT195]

Everyone says how amazing attenborough is, but he is just a narrator really. The really credit has to go to his amazing camera crew. I don't know how they get the shots they do, but my God they are good at it.

[mangaissofun]

ur face

[shannibobs]

@BHT195 He wrote the whole Life series of documentaries; he is amazing. Everyone involved deserves endless credit, but Sir David more than anyone.

[OrDnaryDcentCriminal]

Yes. This absolutely sounds right. I'm more like an insect. You keep on comparing me to animals like bears and sharks.

But trust me, I AM NOT AN ANIMAL.

[bradalfk]

bugs are so cool and creepy at the same time.

[azazel637]

what a wonderful designer our lord jesus christ is.

[OhmySKoD]

Your lord jesus christ didn't exist let alone design anything. Take a biology class.

[azazel637]

God, You spin the whirling planets, Fill the seas and spread the plain,

Mold the mountains, fashion blossoms, Call forth sunshine, wind, and rain

[OhmySKoD]

Your god is a sick joke on everyone who choose to believe in it.

[munificent1000]

yes that's wa god does...thank the lord...but not jesus...jesus has no power or will over the fate of anything...god alone has power...and no one else

[MegaCozzy]

shut up

[HotnessTim]

God doesn't exist and jesus is just a long dead cultist middle eastern.

[munificent1000]

owh and u have proof of him not exsisting?

neither do i ironacly....so it is a matter of what u beleive in,am i right?

i chose to believ he exsist,and if he didnt,i am still happy i beleive in him cuz i have a purpose....wat do u strive to be? human? and then wat? die?

[HotnessTim]

It's not possible to prove an invisible magician isn't floating around in outer space.

Believing in god is no different than believing in leprechauns.

You don't have a purpose no matter what you believe in. Your entire life is a waste because it's centered around a very bad fiction book.

[munificent1000]

i choose to believe,and i choose to belive in that u r thinking the wrong way..i could be wrong,but i still choose to belive,and i still choose that beliving makes my life better...if it makes my life better,why should i stop??...and how do i have no purpose,while u do?? whats ur purpose? what r u doing alive???...when u save a child,why do u save it??

[munificent1000]

jesus is not a god!!!

god is god...jesus just a messenger...imagine how angry god would be if u sayed jesus was god?...man,i wouldnt want to be you...

[balocamillo]

ma chi se ne frega di barilla io mangio de cecco!

[nocluecam]

balling

[Woshmistro]

fascinating stuff!

[moulinrouge22]

David Attenborough is my hero. Seriously cool.

[undeadkillers]

now imagine these suckers somehow getting in your body.

[3martijns]

Why would anyone ever think they know EVERYTHING?

[Ndkiller]

it lookd like it was havn sex.lmao

[CuriousMoth]

Oh boy, wasps sure are neighbourly aren't they?

[yunk9]

Its a hard life being an insect :)

[Flopstar80]

When you think you know it all.......

[asklepije]

[ps3sucksassballs]

amazing
