Sex, Death And The Meaning Of Life

Richard Dawkins has a new series documentary. To date, 3 episodes have aired and someone has uploaded them on Youtube.

The episodes are availiable on this playlist.

Evolution (AronRa)

I frequently refer to AronRa's Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism series. And for some reason, I remembered the couple of evolution information heavy ones as the bulk of the series rather than just a part.

So, I rewatched them to set that straight. From the playlist: Foundational Falsehood of Creationism,

8th FFoC: On mutations and "information". This video explains mutations and creationist misconception of related concepts. Some interesting information on beneficial human mutations.

9th FFoC: Transitional species. This one explains transitional forms.

10th FFoC: Introductory primer to cladistic phylogenetics. Two words: FUCKING AWESOME (to me anyways). The video attempts to condense that particular set of evidence for common ancestry.

11th FFoC: This one deals with creationist misconceptions about speciation. Helpful to understanding common ancestry.

The other parts are great too. But they deal specifically with other creationist misconceptions/lies/fallacies; they are lighter on information on evolution.

For stuff on evolution by Aronra, they are consolidated in this playlist.
