This is the output of a program written in VBA that possesses the properties of living systems.
1) The poorer suited a 'bug' is to the environment, the more likely it is to die
2) Reproduction with (random in this case) variation.

The program demonstrates that evolution is a property of life. It is not up for debate, it's a property of life, like nuclei are a property of atoms, mass is a property of matter, charge is a property of electrons, three sides is a property of triangles etc.

This is a different approach from how the biological community demonstrates evolution (from experimental observation of living systems/ biochemistry). While experiment is of course the cornerstone of science, regrettable understanding such demonstrations requires a technical level of understanding that is not essential to understanding the principal of evolution.
Here the properties of living systems are given to a population in a computer program. It is found that the properties of living systems inevitably lead to evolution.

Fossil records, DNA, and detailed mechanism of the causes of reproduction with variation are all very interesting, but are essentially peripheral detail in demonstrating evolution as a property of living systems.

Each bug is made up of about 50 genes. The less suited a bugs' genes are to the environment, the less chance it has of survival. Anyone who survives can breed.

Program written in VBA (an integral part of M$ Excel).
Frame rendering for evolution program done using POV (a free and v. good ray tracer) to do the graphics.
Music a variant on Jean Michelle Jar Oxygenne (I think).
Second theme is a variant on Robert Miles, 'Children'
Wildlife footage 'borrowed' from youtube community with the proverbial 'yoink'.

why repost it?

[freebaker]

just for redundancy.

[falsificationism]

I don't see how some people don't get that!

Get in there, should be shown to kids at school.

Yes everything dies. But why are people going around making videos about death? It doesn't make any since to me. I know I will die some day. But that doesn't mean I walk around every day thinking about. I just try to live my life best I can. And live for tomorrow even if tomorrow never comes for me on the earth. That is all we can do. But death isn't an end to things. It is just a new begining to your life. So don't think of death as something to be afraid of. Because you have nothing to fear.

1:09 = OUCH, that bunny was rly TORN apart!

and,

WOW, so how many generations were there from cingular cell, to human? about hundreds of millions??

when Man learns how to "intelligently design" some sort of "life". It will die too. because our "job" is to die now. you create something with the purpose of doing its "job". Now don't take me too literal, obviously were here to do more than die, and dying isnt the end.

Hmm. made myself feel a bit better.
