RE: Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle, Documentary Film

Oh no! The voyage that debunked Allah. Not really a documentary but a dramatization.
I remember watching this few years ago and resolution was really crappy, nice to see better version.
While the series is great I seem remember bit disappointed they didn't include his apparent quarreling with the captain FitzRoy. I've heard from Bill Bryson that FitzRoy even approved Darwin on-board because he studied theology and FitzRoy wanted to find evidence of god creating the world, but I doubt they argued because of that.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

In the above dramatization, they quarrel about that at every opportunity.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
