I wish PBS in the states would pick programming like this up. They've really gone downhill since the republicans took over and appointed their own religious people in top positions. Also, I'm sick of watching how Exxon/Mobile or Texaco is doing such wonderful things for the environment.6. Comment #223092 by D'Arcy on August 1, 2008 at 12:45 pm

Looking forward to this. I bookmarked it on my Sky planner earlier this evening after seeing it mentioned in this month's BBC Focus magazine.8. Comment #223102 by HandyGeek on August 1, 2008 at 1:16 pm

The History Channel in the US is showing Evolve. I missed the first episode but it's repeated I think on 8/5/08. They and National Geo do have some other good stuff like Raw Science, Universe, etc. However, most of the programming on Discovery, NG, History & A&E consists of: Bigfoot, Sharks, Snakes, Crocodiles, Bible 'History', UFO's, Animal Attacks, Ghosts, Alien Abduction, Loch Ness Monster, other monsters, giant squids ... what did I miss? Seems as if they 'balance' an hour or two of good science programming with twelve hours of tripe.17. Comment #223213 by foxfire on August 1, 2008 at 7:52 pm

I would like to have seen Richard trot across the room and throttle that ignorant little bastard with his 'holy book'.

The "little bastard" as you say, may actually help others in the class see science in a good way. He is probably the class nerd, others in the class will be thinking: Oh, if that's what he believes, then I better take a look at what Dr. Dawkins is talking about. I know if I had someone like Richard enter my high school science classroom, I would have been floored. I hope the rest of the kids appreciated what they had the oppurtunity to participate in.46.

Why is it that we never get programming like this in Canada? If we ever received anything of the sort, I might even consider getting cable again.Other Comments by MBC Morgan
