Pffft. All evolution has to do is hold down the SHIFT key while drawing its line, and it's perfectly straight.

this is actualy a prity pore way to demonstrait evolutoin , and this tv show is utter shit . Im all for science education and sometimes this show demonstraits things well but for the most part its just dense.

compare this tv show with tomorrows world for example ( which I what I think they are trying to aim for)

Its a shame to me how educational programs for kids on bbc seem to have gotten worse over time with less and less content and facts.

I mean programs like mithbusters are 100x better than this.

with any luck kids will just get information and education of the internet and just abandon tv as it becomes less and less relivent in peoples lives.

Westy, it's one thing to merely say it's pore but you've got to demonstrate why it's pore. Er, poor.

I'm certain this exact concept was explained in a previous sift. Good idea, though. I like.

Its pore for the following resoins .

1) creationist morons would take an example like this and say "LOOK IT PROVES AGENCY AS CENTAINT BIENGS HAVE TO TRACE THE LINE AND THIS IS ANALAGOUSE TO GOD"


2) it dosent relay explain or comment on how things change more or less from environmental factors , the core princapel of evaluation is that you have random changes that acour but depending on how beneficial these changers are to contune to exist in an enviroment denotes if something chenges in one way or another or sticks over time.

3) all it deomstraits is "noise" and degradation of something over time , its a grate example for lossy file formats and data curption , but I don't think its a good example for evolution, I am prity sure there are other ways that are as simple or more simple that would describe evolution to sum one in a better way.

Westy i now see your point and understand where you're coming from. I think this is just good to show how something can change from very small changes over a very long period or something, not really evolution explained or anything.

But hey, i get a twinge of pride for this being a national british tv show educating about evolution to kids

true its good to have general education on tv but it should be allot better , as a kid i would watch open university and other stuff and it was allot more informative than allot of the shows on tv now.

still do get some good ones on tv now , but i think the internet is replacing tv annyway im sure non retarded kids with an intrest in science now would just go strate online.
