Genius of Britain Episode 2 (Part 4/5) HD

Via http://atheistplanet.blogspot.com/

"In this new five-part series, leading scientific figures - Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins, James Dyson, David Attenborough, Robert Winston, Paul Nurse, Jim Al-Khalili, Kathy Sykes and Olivia Judson - celebrate the British scientists and inventors who literally created the modern world. The second programme in the series looks at the scientific spark that ignited the Industrial Revolution in Britain. James Dyson tells the story of how a young James Watt was inspired to perfect the steam engine that would change the world forever. Jim Al-Khalili explains how Joseph Priestley, a clergyman with a fascination for gases, discovered the very air we breathe and started a craze for soda water. David Attenborough talks about his hero Joseph Banks, the great naturalist who sailed to the South Seas and founded Kew Gardens on his return. And Robert Winston reveals the extraordinary story of John Hunter, surgeon, anatomist... and body-snatcher."

@thechessstick And how can you call other people indoctrinated if you apparantly base you're stupidity on a few books, which go against the evidence, against the facts, and against what every respectable scientist in the world says. I'm sure you dumbass parents indoctrinated you with their misguided religious beliefs when you were a child. Nobody reasons themselves to religion.

@thechessstick Men who never admit they're wrong? Real men have the courage to say they don't know, the wisdom to abandon convictions that prove false, and the fortitude to carry on investigating.

Real men think.

@thechessstick You people make me cry inside.

@TheSobek "For by Him do all things consist". and "The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom". Study and learn.

@thechessstick You must be joking, how could anyone possibly value perceived omniscience over the quest for knowledge?

[scandowegianpean]

thank you so much for sharing this wonderful series!!

[proprodigySD]

Lol, Priestly's greatest discovery wasn't soda water?! Oh, oxygen. Pfft.

@SmokeWeedEveryHour "against what every respectable scientist in the world says" LOL @ that. I am 100% biased and so are you. I have chosen the one worldview that has God at its center. You have chosen the worldview that has imagination at its center. At least with my worldview we have God's Word and can check it out. It has always been right 100% of the time. The doltish evolutards that you follow have to change their ideas every year. Wake up and stop being such a coward. Join the men

@thechessstick troll areshole, if you can't apprcetiate the beauty of scientific endeavour and it's achievements you are beneath contempt and only worthy of scorn and ridicule. Fuck off

[thechessstick]

@tubalooney Spoken like a typical modern Englishman. So many of you have become effeminate push-overs. I don't think your ancestors were this way. Sad.... Stand up like a man for a change and don't be such a coward in this war for our souls.

@thechessstick arsehole troll ignorant wanker... what a total and utter loser. Fuck off back to your ignorant little hole in the ground.
