Genius of Britain Episode 2 (Part 3/5) HD

Via http://atheistplanet.blogspot.com/

"In this new five-part series, leading scientific figures - Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins, James Dyson, David Attenborough, Robert Winston, Paul Nurse, Jim Al-Khalili, Kathy Sykes and Olivia Judson - celebrate the British scientists and inventors who literally created the modern world. The second programme in the series looks at the scientific spark that ignited the Industrial Revolution in Britain. James Dyson tells the story of how a young James Watt was inspired to perfect the steam engine that would change the world forever. Jim Al-Khalili explains how Joseph Priestley, a clergyman with a fascination for gases, discovered the very air we breathe and started a craze for soda water. David Attenborough talks about his hero Joseph Banks, the great naturalist who sailed to the South Seas and founded Kew Gardens on his return. And Robert Winston reveals the extraordinary story of John Hunter, surgeon, anatomist... and body-snatcher."

Holy cow! I would like to nuzzle Richard as well!

Dawkins <3

thanks for the vids mate

[Cacacos]

thumbs up for that cow trying to kiss Dawkins on his face :D

@thechessstick Holy crap. You are batshit crazy, mate. Please, for the love of God, just go pray in your church and while you grovel at the feet of an imagined being who, if exists, is entirely indifferent (and certainly cruel), the rest of us will marvel at human innovation, which has practical value rather than mere spiritual.

thank u hunter for turning butchery into science XD

Why are people confusing the presenters as geniuses with the scientists they are presenting?

[thechessstick]

@TejasM14 Of course I came up with the things that Hawking came up with. But I can recognize mere imagination from truth. All of the evidence supports the Genesis account. The Earth is indeed only about 6000 years old and Noah's flood did indeed happen. As a matter of fact Ron Wyatt discovered it.

[TejasM14]

@thechessstick Indoctrination? And you believe that the earth is 6000 years old because a fictitious book says so? This is exactly what religion does do people. Is that true what you said about Hawking? Then why didn't you come up with the theories, surely you must be smarter than a 12 year old. With more people like you populating America, the country is definitely fucked.

@TejasM14 And the world needs people like me to attempt to get them to see that they are believing a lie of Satan. The World is only about 6000 years old, the Genesis account is true and Jesus is the Messiah. Dawkins is just an antichrist dolt who has sold his soul. Hawking is nothing special. Any intelligent 12 year old boy could come up with the ideas that he proposes. Do try to get over your indoctrination.

@thechessstick Besides, people like Dawkins are the reason that most parts of science today believes in a gene-centric world. I suggest you read his former books which elucidate superbly well the principles of Darwinism. Fortunately or unfortunately, he has turned into a sort of controversial author today. But the world needs people like him. For one, I always knew about the greatness of people like Stephen Hawking. But Dawkins was on of the few who asked people to question their inner beliefs.
