Dawkins presented to an invited audience and investigated if Darwin was the most revolutionary scientist ever, and examined the evolutionary theories of his contemporaries. Dawkins suggests that there are four "bridges to evolutionary understanding" and illustrates this with four claimants to the evolution of natural selection: Edward Blyth, Patrick Matthew, Alfred Wallace and Charles Darwin. The fifth bridge of evolutionary understanding is identified as modern genetics which he terms digital Darwinism. via RichardDawkins.net http -

Ray Banana Man Comfort and Kirk Side Kick Cameron are raising funds to promote their bastardised version of Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species" to 50 Universities. They need your money to give away 100000 copies to 100 Universities (although why they don't simply pray for the cash I am unsure). While I think putting money in these IDiots pockets is a horrid idea, I do think every student should see their ridiculous arguments and the words of Charles Darwin. They should also examine the evidence in favour of all of the competing creation myths and the evidence supporting evolution. As Kirk says, these people are not stupid and will be able to make the correct decision. www.youtube.com PS.

But these same advances will pose novel ethical dilemmas, and render our ever-more interconnected world vulnerable to new and disruptive threats. Demands for energy, food and water could irreversibly degrade the Earths biosphere unless new technologies can be adopted by then. Scientific understanding will have greatly expanded. In particular, we can expect progress towards settling questions that would have fascinated Darwin: How and where did life begin? And has life emerged and evolved elsewhere in the cosmos?
31.22 min. | 4.80 user rating		 After the lecture a questions and answers session took place, involving a panel of Darwin experts and hosted by Jonathan Silvertown, Professor of Ecology at The Open University and editor of the book 99% Ape, which forms the basis of Darwin and Evolution at the Open University. The panel includes: Jim Moore11, Professor of the History of Science at The Open University and co-author of Darwins Sacred Cause; Doctor Peter Skelton12, Reader in Palaeobiology at The Open University and a contributor to 99% Ape and Steve Jones, Professor of Genetics at University College London and author of Darwins Island: the Galapagos in the Garden of England. The Annual Lecture was held in partnership with Darwin 2005 and co-hosted by the Natural History Museum, and formed part of the Darwin 200 celebrations. via RichardDawkins.net http -
