Im very proud to be British, why are the States so stubborn to accept evolution? In the UK we've understood it since the 50s but Yanks have to put their heads in the sand, hands together and prey to the unproveable, life is so elegant and i wish for the world to see that

sir david attenborough is a legend beyond belief and fantastic man so wise and humble

[Victor Mancini]

common misconception here that you may or may not meant to say, but practising whatever religion does not mean you think evolution is a load of rubbish.

Plenty of people will prey to the 'unproveable' yet believe in evolution.

Religion =/= Creationism

Why are you so keen to single out the USA here anyway? There are plenty of British Muslims willing to kill themselves and everyone around them in the name of their religion. Yet it is Americans with heads in the sand?

[John Smith]

You are a brainwashed moron who believes in thousands of mathematical impossibilities upon thousands of mathematical impossibilites. Yeah that computer you were typing on, it just blew together in a snowstorm, nobody built it. ROFL

yea fuck science lets go behead witches

I take it your comment on American Politics is a joke?

Very Funny.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the Queen was as reliable as the American Presidents.

And how many of them can parachute out of an Aeroplane wearing a formal dress and arrive at the venue looking exquiste?

This isnt about country divisions. The whole planet belongs to no one. We are all here for a short time. No matter what country or creed you belong to WE ARE ALL THE SAME> human beings,so no one is superior to the other!!! Animals know this . Its just some pig ignorant ,egoic human beings that dont

[PrivateAckbar]

Shut up dude. British chauvinism is such an embarrassing cliche. If you're watching the best natural history that's ever been recorded and you're thinking about some cliche you have in your head about American culture somethings wrong. I'd like to know how many people criticising America have actually been there. Brilliant science goes on in America. At least they were once more progressive in their politics. We're a socialist nightmare and we still have monarchy.

[Andrew Snape]

That's why I love it so much.

Sorry to be petty, but it really annoys me when TV productions try to force an old 4:3 ratio picture into a 16:9 screen so that it's filled. This either zooms the image to make it look grainy and cut off at the top and bottom or, like above, stretched and weird. It shouldn't be that hard to make it work with the two. I say this because I love this sort of TV but I find it unwatchable when it's like that.

[delavalmilker]

This entire series is nothing but elaborate propaganda. Evolution is wrong, unproven, and a blasphemy!

The programme wasn't trying to prove the existence of Christ or the none existence of Christ. All he's trying to show you is the beauty of the things we do have on this planet. Of the things we should be cherishing and looking after. However in my opinion we are failing miserably. I also feel he's one of the luckiest men on this planet. Go Attenborough!!!
