It's going for converts. It's not an advanced class for the already converted.
I agree. I think the show is more about getting people excited about science and interested in learning more rather than educating people who already know quite a bit about science.
I think it'll be more of an overview show, touching on some areas more in depth (like the evolution of the eye) as examples of the broader topic under discussion. I also get the feeling their trying to cover a lot of ground - talking about not only how the sciences affect us here on Earth, but also tying it to the exploration of the universe and what possibilities that field holds for research of other stellar and planetary objects.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
