On the matter of the 'Ultra-darwinism' thing - I remember that last night when he talked about two groups of extremists and then mentioned the first group saying something like (I paraphrase perhaps) "On the one side is Richard Dawkins[...]", etc - I actually laughed out loud.
It's obviously bound to be bullshit; you can tell that from the start how he speaks of Dawkins, that and the fact that it's basically cherry-picking! But that doesn't stop it being interesting for me. I watch it partly for my own amusement; partly to see how some Christian types (other than the fundie creationists) tick. 'What makes them tick', etc.
EvF
EDIT: Yeah this is actually worth it for me even if ONLY for my own personal amusement TBH, LOL (IOW it's funny cos it's so laughable).
I also find it funny how I think they play a Bjork song Play Dead, in this video? (only it's instrumental; whether it's a song that Play Dead was based on I don't know? But it's the same tune I think) And it really kind of uplifts the doco (well it's supposed to I think) simply because it sounds so awesome? And what I find quite funny is when Bjork was asked in an interview if she could change only ONE thing in the world what would it be she said she'd get rid of religion! LOL - ironic I think if only slightly, hehe. Amuses me anyway.
