The Blind Watchmaker

[mchammer75040]

BBC Horizon - The Blind Watchmaker
Produced in 1987 by Jeremy Taylor and Richard Dawkins for BBC's HORIZON series. It was based on his book of the same name, and won the Sci-Tech Award for Best Science Documentary of the year.

Description from the BBC's education catalogue: "...The evidence proposed is well-organized and current. The video first presents creationist ideas, articulated by Texans who support the theory of special creationism, and then provides vivid contradictory data through observation, computer simulations, robotics, experiments and close examination of designs in nature. Its central argument is that the diversity and variety we see in such complex adaptations as the eye and insect mimicry can best be explained by cumulative natural selection over long periods of time. With its vivid blend of argument and scientific detail, The Blind Watchmaker will enrich even the most advanced student's view of evolution."

That last underlined part is mainly the reason why I posted this here, its not to start another god debate..I dont care about that, but its an interesting documentary. Oh and that richard just looks...too damn sexy in those shorts :naughty:.

Evolution is a fantastically simple idea with terribly complex details. I can see why Creationists think that their load of nonsense is correct and evolution is the true load of nonsense. Creationists probably view those videos the same way we view creationist videos.
