I guess that many of you are familiar with the tv-show on Discovery: Mythbusters and their two hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage?

Intresting thing ahout them is that they apperently are atheists, or as they diplomaticly put it " identifies strongly with skeptics and atheists".

Anyway Adam have also said in a interview:
"My goal this year is to prove natural selection on the show. It's gonna take a while, it's gonna be very hard to make it fascinating on film in the context of our narrative structure, but I figure screw it. The sky's the limit. Let's do natural selection. I'm sick of fifty percent of this country thinking creationism is reasonable. It's appalling. And I have the unique ability, maybe, to sell this idea to Discovery, and they'll, they might allow me to do it, and I'm gonna try as hard as I can."

That would be great thing if they did that on they show, isnt it?

I guess they'd interview people like Richard Lenski about his famous e coli experiment which caught Evolution in action. Should be interesting though Big Grin

Did anyone know that Jamie and Adam had a minor roll in the movie "The Darwin Awards"?

Love the program. Love watching it, especially if it's a challenging myth!

I think that proving natural selection will probably take more than one show, maybe two or three...
But I'll certainly look forward to it!
