CODE FOR LIFE:

Beginning more than three and a half billion years ago, a tiny, primitive molecule encoded instructions deep within itself. Then it passed these instructions on to its children, who passed it to their children and so on - all the way down through time to all living things today.

The human genome, written in a code of just four letters, tells us who we really are - and that generates many questions!

Is this process of natural selection coming to an end? Should we choose the best that is in us for our children? If so, who gets to decide what is meant by "the best that is in us"? From amino acids in space to human genes in corn -- this is the story.

FROM BIG BANG TO MAN:

This is the story of the universe and our place within it. And if that's not enough, we will describe how every atom in existence today came into beeing, how galaxies formed, how our own solar system began. We will trace the progress of life on Earth from its humble beginnings to the emergence of mitochondrial Eve. And from Eve until now, we will follow the progress as humankind spread around the globe.

Religious nut jobs troll these videos because they disable the comments on all of their own videos.

[wecantsee]

@daogdaog Then tell us your alternative theory you idiot!

[rampaginwalrus]

@daogdaog; I actually feel stupid that I didn't notice I said that, actually am sorry about that. Explains a lot for where you're arguments are coming from.

[rampaginwalrus]

@daogdaog; Do you look like your parents? Yes. And do they look like their parents? Yes. And do you all look similar, but distinctly different? Yes. This is evolution. Evolution is simply the change of anything over time, esp. in biological life. It is a fact. Evolution by natural selection, is a theory, with so much evidence backing it up, the only way to be able to deny it is with extreme bias. And macro evolution is just a lot of micro evolution. So none of that.

[rampaginwalrus]

@daogdaog; oh, it appears I did make a mistake. Oh well. I meant differently, that's all I can say to that. Allow me to PROVE evolution to you:

[daogdaog]

@rampaginwalrus Never said what? Here is what you wrote "You want me to show you a hominid with our feet? Lucy. Probably the best example". Come on. How could you possibly deny that? Clearly you had no idea that Lucy did not have feet bones. You thought those wax exhibits in museums were real. You can't bluff me. I am not one your fellow evolutionists who inherited vestigial brains from your apelike ancestor.

[rampaginwalrus]

@daogdaog; I never said lucy was the best example for human foot comparison. I said she was the best preserved and most full skeleton. Google; Lucy the hominid, and click the first one. Scroll down to discovery, and read it. If you choose not to, then I'm simply going to stop talking to you; because you don't want to find the truth, you want to be right. There is a very big difference.

[daogdaog]

@rampaginwalrus You mentioned that your best example for human foot comparison is Lucy's. I can't imagine a sane person provide me a chimp hip for human foot comparison by having me fill in the blanks. Some bones assumed belonging to Lucy were found 3 kilometers away. Is that what you call forensic evidence?

[rampaginwalrus]

@daogdaog; The same way forensic experts can put a 5 year old body together even after it has been cut apart, burned, and spread out. And then they can find out who it is. And once again, there are other Australopithecus feet to model off of! It isn;t a blind shot in the dark, scientists aren't allowed to do that without saying they are. Unlike some groups of people I could name. WHY WON'T YOU JUST READ THE ARTICLE?
