It tries to to look and sound like a real documentary, but there is no doubt what this actually is: Pure propaganda, filled with lies and inaccuracies, made for the sole purpose of discrediting evolution.
I pity the few REAL scientists who played a part in this, not knowing the true purpose of this propaganda.
Avoid at all costs.
Hold Brillan!
You Betcha.

What a pity some people are so brainwashed against anyone (including many scientists) who doesn't just gullibly accept everything Dawinists believe. So-called "open-minded" people who have never really studied the other side of the argument and can't accept that Darwinism has many flaws, are as naive as the creationists they despise. The film gave a much needed balance and was actually quite kind to Darwin the man.
shareTypical case of a group of entrenched mindsets calling anything they don't agree with as rubbish - and I do mean the "skeptics" here. I'm with nwwatts on this one. Real Science keeps an open mind and theories like Darwinism and Intelligent Design only survive as long as they fit the facts - not the facts only survive if they fit the theory!
shareI agree with the last two responses. Surely we should be able to look at both sides, not just slavishly follow Darwin's theory without question.
We know a lot more about cells and science than when Darwin developed these ideas. It seems that the original poster of this thread is ideologically committed to Darwinism rather than looking at all the facts.
Isn't science about testing a hypothesis to see if it actually holds?
This documentary employs a clever, if dubious strategy.
Of course many new facts have been discovered since Darwin's time. They do not conflict with Darwin's basic theory, but if Darwin had known about them, he would have stated things somewhat differently, more thoroughly in some cases, probably. But in this doc such things are instead presented as "Darwin was wrong". But of course this is a very special definition of wrong. But the further suggestion is that since Darwin was "wrong" about these things, he might have been wrong about other things as well.
It's insidious, really, and of course exceedingly fallacious.
