In 1859, Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species – and nothing would ever be the same again. Evolution by natural selection is probably the most powerful idea anyone ever had.

In this three-part series for Channel 4 (UK), Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary scientist and bestselling author, takes us on a journey of discovery. How does evolution work? How do we know it’s true - and why do some people still deny it? As evolved creatures, do we have to be callous, selfish and immoral? Dawkins echoes Darwin’s emphatic "no".

In the course of his journey, Richard Dawkins visits a New York sperm bank and talks to the women about how they choose the genes of their children. He takes us to Lambeth Palace to visit the Archbishop of Canterbury - and to Kenya to visit that spectacularly well preserved fossil - the Turkana Boy. With its fascinating interviews, stunning photography and authoritative and good-humoured commentary, this series is a must for all who want to understand why we exist.



Enjoy and Seed!!

Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy quality programming, and it is hard to find in the US!
Yeh i bet it is , no offence to Americans but Darwin seems to be a very controversial over there - he has never been here (recently anyway) I went to a Catholic high school and I was taught about Darwin, his scientific beliefs the the Big Bang theory, dinosaurs were billions of years old, etc, etc, EVOLUTION basically, we were not told the Earth was 5000 years old ever - at least i can't remember been, R.E. wasn't my favourite lesson and was very short - (half an hour a week) and as i remember was more about other things nothing to do with religion a lot of the time (Drugs, morality, etc were some of the other subjects we covered) ,we have Darwins face on the back of every ten pound note here in the UK.
I'm hearing in the US you are having trouble getting anyone to distribute to new Evolution film (about Darwins life and struggles) and about cinemas refusing to show it!
sounds crazy to most brits, even a lot of Christians prob think banning the film is over the top over here.
This gotta be the joke of the millennium. And here is the old fool Dawkins making a monkey out of you?

As rightly said, Evolution is an idea....that is what it is ...just an idea....a nonsensical idea.

Evolution does not explain:
1. How and why we are here. What is the first cause?

2. The missing link tree. Only the roots and leaves are visible. Where is the trunk and the branches? The fossil evidence gives a resounding kick to evolution.

3. The complexity of a cell proves evolution is false

4. The error correction in DNA shows the Bible is correct and evolution is false. Variations can happen only with kinds never across kinds.

5. The supposed Cambrian explosion shows that species did not evolve gradually but came at one time.

6. The mechanism how one species changes to another and why it is not observed today?

7. Why do we have a moral inbuilt law which tells us right from wrong? And why animals don't have this?

8. Why we need to be moral citizens if we have really evolved from monkeys?

People supporting evolution...keep dreaming to your doom.

I am not older than 20 and I can think of evidence against at least 5 of your "proofs" of the top of my head. Take the time to research a topic before rejecting it.
@IndianChristian

Christians like you are the joke of the millennium.

Not one of your claims has any merit, I suggest you take your nose out the bible and go do some research (nota bene: Googling "Intelligent Design" is not research).

Thanks for the share, Sheila.
@IndianChristian

You are such a detriment to society. Attempting to disprove fact by calling upon various logical fallacies gets you nowhere. This is analogous to saying the theory of gravity is false because of airplanes. Whomever says such a thing has no idea what is actually happening.
IndianChristian

Well the last of your questions are explaining evolution by it self.

6, 7, 8
instinkts tells us to do anything to survive and allways be stronger than outher species. This instinkt is evolution. Everything living has it. Without it there would not be any life.

What you call moral is instinkt. In your words all living creatures have moral since all of us wants our kin to survive. It's instinkt/moral that tells us not to eat our children. I guess you think that cows, for exampel, have a very high moral since you probably never heard of a cow eating it's child.
Many animals doesent kill anything at all. Is that because they have a higher sense of moral than us humans?
I guess monkies kills, rapes and steal a lot less than humans. So don't you think they have higher moral standards than us?
Or is it that they walk around naked that makes you think they lack moral?
That's silly.
I love it when someone tries to argue against evolution by natural selection by being ignorant to what evolution by natural selection is.
I also love it that I know the Bible better than most of the people who believe it like it's a history book.
I love it how even a TPB torrent get's visited by the holy warriors of creationism.

I will never understand these people. Having a belief is ok with me, I can understand that, but chosing to be totally ignorant...
Thank you uploader and seeders!
@IndianChristian
TROLL ALERT. pick up a fucking textbook you ignorant dolt.
PS great upload sheila6!
I have seeded just over 1TB of this torrent. That is a ratio of more than 1:1000, and I don't intend to stop until the demand is gone. I may not be able to write books or make documentaries for the public understanding of science, but I'm happy to help any way that I can and seeding this is one way of doing it.
Keep up the good work, fellows. The world is an amazing place. :)
Thanks for the upload, sheila6. Greatly appreciated!
Thanks Sheila6 for sharing this. You are helping make the world a better, more informed place.
Happy Darwin Day!
