Growing Up in the Universe

Yesterday I have seen a new video posted on TED.com, where they have recently started to post external videos that they think are worth watching. One of them was first part from this series.

This series of lectures was filmed in 1991 and given by Richard Dawkins (Wiki) a great evolutionary biologist and a author of a famous book The selfish gene.

The series is targeting youngsters and so the audience is comprised mostly of children. The lectures are very well prepared with a great practical insertions. It shows us why creationism is surely mistaken by saying what can and can't be achieved during an evolution. A great example is explaining the eyes.

One can watch the full series for free on YouTube here, and I greatly recommend it.
