Charles Darwin's Brave New World: A Dangerous Idea Video

Darwin's Brave New World.
Featuring a superb cast and commentators including David Suzuki, Richard Dawkins, Jared Diamond and Iain McCalman, this is the story of how four young voyagers changed our world forever. The epic adventures of Charles Darwin, Joseph Hooker, Thomas Huxley and Alfred Russel Wallace would revolutionise science, turn society on its head and give birth to an extraordinary theory.

taybathar: yeah and that's all it is: a theory, yet so many people take it as irrefutable truth

Alexov54: Yeah, countless millions of people who've considered the enormous mountain of evidence that supports the theory do take it as irrefutable truth. And countless millions, those who have the invisible friend, God, to help them think, believe it all started around 4000 BC, in an instant, with perfection abounding. Fortunately, we humans are free to believe which of the two theories is more likely to be the real explanation.

peterb1968: Theory in science means an idea accepted as truth by general consesus of ppl in the area of study. One has evidence the other has none. Which is the rational choice?

superwowie111: moron christians go "err so we came from apes, thats stupid!" their explanation is an invisible person that we have no evidence of snapped his fingers and made it happen. fucking morons! fuck!

TheDermyShow: Interesting. Hopefully I remember to watch this.

ramio1983: Evolution doesn't disprove God hellooooo??

granton85: In the end neither can explain the creation of universe. Big bang theory that's great, where did the universe it was in come from. Creation, that's great where did god come from.

sux0rz: it just goes against biblical teachings in terms of the origin of man.

ramio1983: If God was created he wouldn't be God silly. People have no idea what the concept of God even is.

InterZlatan8: Yet the big bang theory has some evidence, while God remains a hypotheses of wich we have 0 evidence, so logically, Big bang is more likely.

InterZlatan8: The concept of God? Or God? The concept of God is what we all believe, it is that invisible agent who apparently created everything and some people believe it exists. Atheists also believe in the concept of God but not in God

InterZlatan8: Evolution also doesn't disprove the Invisible Pink Unicorn, but we have no good reason to believe it exists.

InterZlatan8: you mean evolution? A theory in the scientific sense means a bunch of facts stuck together

imroy264: Gravity? Just a theory. Atoms? Just a theory. Electricity? Just a theory. Electromagnetic radiation? Just a theory. Wave-particle duality of light? Just a theory. Fibre optics? Just a theory. Germs? Just a theory. Cells? Just a theory. Genetics? Just a theory. Plate tectonics? Just a theory. Learn what the word "theory" means in a scientific context. You likely make indirect use of many scientific theories every single day.

BarronTD: What? Not being shown in the States? There's a shocker...

hobatu: I think Australia is a hoax. It doesn't exist really.

Raherin: Maybe it's their theory that these are just theories, in which sense their theory is just a theory as well, except that scientific theory is a theory that has more credibility then a regular theory because it's based on facts (yehaw). Anyone can make a theory about a theory, but only a scientific theory makes sense regarding actually verified fact. (I'm mostly talking about evolution). I realize that most religious people don't understand the definition of theory. Good post. :)

Raherin: I should let you know actually. Those are not theories to religious people (not all of you :) ). Those are religions or faith (at least they should be according to their own logic, but only evolution is) because we use faith to believe them, all that evidence and verified fact is just faith based BS. Let us bow to the Theory God. So far the only one that makes sense! - no need to bow, he doesn't give a shit. :) Pray to the great Atom and Electon.

heterodoxism: Then where did I grow up?

hobatu: Are you God?

frankystein12: Got to watch this, this looks awesome!

narfanoid: Dropping a bowling ball on your foot doesn't prove the existence of gravity, but it sure does make a person look stupid when they try to say there is no such thing as gravity. Filling the world's museums and universities with clear evidence of evolution in the past and the present doesn't prove evolutionary theory, but it sure does make a person look stupid when they say the universe was created by a god.
