Broadcast (2010) Earth teems with a staggering variety of animals, including 9,000 kinds of birds, 28,000 types of fish and more than 350,000 species of beetles. What explains this explosion of living creatures -- 1.4 million different species discovered so far, with perhaps another 50 million to go?

The source of life's endless forms was a mystery until Charles Darwin's revolutionary idea of natural selection, which he showed could help explain the gradual development of life on Earth. But Darwin's radical insights raised as many questions as they answered. What actually drives evolution and turns one species into another? And how did we evolve?

On the 150th anniversary of Darwin's "On the Origin of Species," "NOVA" reveals answers to the riddles that Darwin couldn't explain. Breakthroughs in a brand-new science --nicknamed "evo devo" -- are linking the enigma of origins to another of nature's great mysteries, the development of an embryo.

"NOVA" takes viewers on a journey from the Galapagos Islands to the Arctic and from the Cambrian explosion of animal forms half a billion years ago to the research labs of today. Here scientists are finally beginning to crack nature's biggest secrets at the genetic level. And, as "NOVA" shows, the results are confirming the brilliance of Darwin's insights while exposing clues to life's breathtaking diversity.

God used evoltion....you hard core christians refer to it as his active or holy force.

[whiteliketar]

the madness of atheistic evolution (macro) has taken hold - the biggest lie to strut around in the halls of academia - no wonder they need billions of years to hide their assumptions.

[tontobones]

@jesusufreak,evolution is in your bible.Once upon a time there were snakes that used to have conversations with humans,but now ,alas,they have evolved to no longer have voiceboxes.Or how about talking burning bushes.They no longer scream when on fire.Put down your book of murder and watch Armand Marie leroi on What Darwin never knew,you might learn something,empty head.

Hahaha! "How a fish was once your ancestor." Um - so...I evolved from walleye? Or maybe it was a clownfish! Another question: why are fish still around today if we supposedly evolved from them? XD

@TheFergusoid Naturally awesome, you mean! God is the great author of our lives. He also has some amazing artistic talent. He painted the sky blue, carved the canons, and gave mountains their worth!

[TheFergusoid]

@Ajesusfreak, that is not the reason, you idiot. It just happens naturally. Check your facts.

[Scythemantis]

@ajesusfreak1 How is that remotely contradictory? Millions of people believe in God but do not believe he wrote the bible. I'm agnostic, but even I can see that if you DO believe in God, you still have no reason to trust biblical text. The only "evidence" that it's his word is the claim made in the bible itself. That's like trusting any random guy on the street who says that THEY'RE God, which sadly does happen as well. It's cult mentality and nothing more.

[ajesusfreak1]

@TheFergusoid Dictators who kill people have fallen away from the one true God. Hitler believed in the lie of evolution (survival of the fittest ring any bells?). Crusades were bad? Since when? How do you know Witch hunts were organized by Christians, and the troubles in Ireland were not the result of Christians. 911? Those were terrorists who worshipped IDOLS, not God. NO ONE IS PERFECT BY THE WAY!!!! We're saved, people rebel, and things happen. It's part of God's will.

@TheFergusoid They miscarry so often because we use the "morning after pill" - birth control. Yes, birth control is killing someone. You conceive, then take the pill, just in case you're pregnant. Life begins at conception.

@Scythemantis Your comment is contradictory, my friend. You implied that mere humans wrote the Bible down, yet claimed that they got it wrong because they weren't as great as God! What?
