National Geographic - Diagnosing Darwin



Charles Darwin, one of the greatest scientists in history. His bookThe Origin Of Species (heretical to his age, maybe even today for some) and theory of evolution changed the world completely. But there is a mystery surrounds the death of the father of theory of evolution. Darwin's life was plagued by his chronic disease which possibly he acquired during the voyage of the Beagle. The mystery behind his illness puzzled the doctors for years. Using the power of modern forensic science this enigma may be finally unraveled.

Darwin, His Daughter, and Human Evolution - Randal Keynes



In this intimate portrait of the great naturalist as devoted family man, Keynes describes how Charles Darwin's "life and his science were all of a piece." The great-great-grandson of the scientist, Keynes uses published documents as well as family papers and artifacts to show how Darwin's thinking on evolution was influenced by his deep attachment to his wife and children. In particular, his anguish over his 10-year-old daughter Annie's death sharpened his conviction that the operation of natural laws had nothing to do with divine intervention or morality. Keynes, also a descendant of economist John Maynard Keynes, shows that much of Darwin's intellectual struggle in writing On the Origin of Species and The Descent of Man arose from his efforts to understand the role of suffering and death in the natural order of the world. Early in his career, Darwin saw the indifference of natural law as an answer to the era's religious doubts about how a benevolent god could permit human misery; cruelty and pain, he argued, should not be seen as moral issues, but as inevitable outcomes of nature. After Annie's death, however, Darwin's views darkened, and in a private letter he railed against the "clumsy, wasteful, blundering low and horridly cruel works of nature!" Though Keynes doesn't break new ground about Darwin's life and work, he produces a moving tribute to a thinker who, despite intimate acquaintance with the pain inflicted by the "war of nature," could still marvel that, from this ruthless struggle, "endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved." Photos not seen by PW. (Jan.)Forecast: General readers attracted by the book's warm, sentimental cover won't be disappointed by Keynes's equally accessible prose. Publishers Weekly

BBC - The Story of God (3 of 3) The God of the Gaps

The last episode is focusing on the struggle between science and religion.

Galileo Galilei discovered that his observations contradicted the Bible and in the middle of 19 century Darwin pushed back the God with his theory of evolution.

Robert Winston meets Richard Dawkins and Dean Hamer who claimed that he found God gene (VMAT2).

Then he visits a creationist museum and debates the creationist Ken Ham in a radio show (I think the most interesting part of the episode).

The episode ends at the CERN laboratory.

Darwin's Brave New World (Episode 1) Origins

"Evolution was damned as being anti-God and anti-science, because it's creation by natural law, not acts of God."

The theory of evolution by natural selection was the most radical idea in the conservative England of the 19th century. Darwin spent years working in secret, painstakingly piecing together proof of his theory about the evolution of life on Earth, a theory that revealed the beauty and cruelty of nature. Darwin knew the power of his work, a work which generated the fiercest debate about the creation which continues to this day.

These new series tell the astonishing and amazing story of this great mind, and the struggle between dogma and reason, featuring acclaimed scientists such as Richard Dawkins, and David Suzuki.

Darwin's Brave New World (Episode 2) Evolutions

Charles Darwin is facing one of his biggest crisises, Anne, his ten year old daughter is fighting against the mysterious illness. As Annie's life hangs in the balance it's a brutal reminder of everything Darwin has learned in years of search. Nature, not God, determines who survives.

Darwin finds the crucial evidence he desperately needs to prove how evolution and natural selection work in the middle of 19th century.

But first he must test himself and his arguments with his friends and supporters. His race to publish one of the most extraordinary theories of our time just begins.

Darwin's Brave New World (Episode 3) Publish and Be Damned

The arrival of Alfred Russel Wallace's letter in June 1858 has thrown Charles Darwin into panic. This letter threatens to destroy years of work which began on five year voyage in southern hemisphere. Darwin spends the next 20 years painstakingly gathering evidence. He battles illness and the cruel reality of his own theory. But on the other side of the world Alfred Wallace has come up with the almost identical theory. Now Darwin will need the help of his loyal supporters more than ever.

The book which Charles Darwin never meant to write is about to be judged by the outside world.
