i thought this was Terry Mallick's Tree Of Life. i was interested in seeing Chivo Lubezki cinematography. bump!

Are you kidding?

That "narrator" is SIR David Attenborough, if your comment had at least an iota of merit, it woudl be Al Pacino sounding like Attenborough; not the other way around.

@godfatherofwiseguys Wow I can't explain that comment. I must've been in a terrible mood.

[godfatherofwiseguys]

@BryterJonas do you hate the man? i think that guy is extremely talented, and is a big part to Malick's achievement in New World.

the guy is a master cinematographer or natural lighting, and hand held photography. Children of Men, Y Tu Mama Tambien.

@marvininniss It can, if the order is local, and it creates disorder in the surroundings. A highly ordered crystal can be spontaneously formed from a solution, but it has to release heat and put more disorder to the surrounding universe.

Same thing is with life. There can be highly ordered forms as cells, but they have to create a whole lot of mess to stay that way. And they do.

It is truly incredible how American creationists manage to infiltrate every single video comments and just blast their shit everywhere like an atomic bomb.

What is wrong with these people? Creationists are being laughed upon in the modern society, and somehow one of the most advanced countries in the world has the most of these fundamentalistic morons.

It is stunning to me, as I live in Europe. Stunning.

@borntwelvetwentyfive you are the one sounding like the medieval man laughing on us for telling you the Earth is round

I suppose a few hundred years ago you would have laughed at me if I told you the earth was round.

Just because most scientists accept the theory of evolution does not make it absolute fact. Show me a missing link, if the theory is true there should be thousands of fossilized missing links out there.

But the fact is after almost 100 years of this debate neither side can prove wther evolution is absolute fact or not. We need to think outside the box this time.

[CorporateAllianceAus]

a theory is a description of the evidence and what it implies/shows.

theory is not just an idea about something or a feeling.

it CAN be just an idea, if there is insufficient evidence to prove it.

to uneducated people with no understanding, theory is a nice word to throw around out of context, mostly to embarrass themselves by thinking their failure to understand its meaning is ammo.

evolution is readily observable. its a continuum/phenomena that exists, not an idea about what may exist.
