I see nothing wrong with doing this, after all "Creation" may not even come out here in the US. And heck, the more we can get people interested in Darwin the better I say, Everyone should understand and appreciate Evolution.

I'm pretty sure they're doing it because the 250 year anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species is coming up.  Same reason they make scary movies around Halloween, and christmas movies around christmas.

this was a decent video. I had to watch it for a class and it was not a waste of time. 4/5 stars.

We all owe a lot to Darwin for setting the foundation for all modern biology. I just find it a bit sad that I can't shake his hand.

[ReSanSax]

Agreed.

[RadicalAwesomeness]

Well come to mention it, maybe I won't.

I'll leave garbage admiring to people more competent, such as yourself.

Darwin's dangerous idea series is better .
