RDF TV - Distribution of Life: The Iguanas of Galápagos

"Richard Dawkins explains how the distribution of life on Earth's continents and islands is exactly as we should expect if life evolved, and exactly how we should NOT expect if it had been created."


Documentary - The Suicide Tourist [Download]

Just watched this today, and I highly recommend it.

"The controversy about a persons right to die at a time and place of
their own choosing has become focused on the Swiss organisation Dignitas,
and its founder, civil rights lawyer, Ludwig Minelli. Dignitas, based
in Zurich Switzerland, is the only place in the world where a person
seeking an assisted suicide can be helped to die, no matter where they
are from. For a year, Oscar-winning Canadian director John Zaritsky
had exclusive access to Dignitas, and its clients. In this program,
Zaritsky tells two interwoven stories about suicide. In the first,
he follows a terminally ill man, 59-year-old American Craig Ewert,
through the last four days of his life - preparing to leave his
adopted home in England for the last time, then on his journey
to Zurich, and into the care of Dignitas, with whose help he will
end his life. The second story follows Canadian couple George
and Betty Coumbias, who test that philosophy, and the Swiss tolerance
for a law that some say is giving Zurich a reputation for suicide
tourism. George has terminal heart disease, and would like to choose
the time of his death with the help of Dignitas his wife Betty is
determined to die with him, even though she is perfectly healthy."

Richard Dawkins - BBC HardTalk (2007) [Download]

"In a HardTalk inteview first broadcast on 24 July 2007, Stephen Sackur talks to Professor Richard Dawkins.

For too long atheism has been the belief system that dare not speak its name.

That's according to Professor Richard Dawkins, a world renowned scientist who has set out to debunk the world's monotheistic religions.

His book "The God Delusion" has sold more than a million copies and prompted a deluge of criticism.

In a thought-provoking interview, Stephen Sackur asks him if his brand of muscular atheism is any less fundamentalist and faith-based than the religions it seeks to replace."

David Attenborough - Charles Darwin and the Tree of Life [Download]

"Passionate Darwinian David Attenborough, who sees evolution as the cornerstone of all the series he has ever made, shares his personal view on Darwin's controversial idea. Journeying through the last two hundred years, he tracks the changes in our understanding of the natural world, and asks three key questions: how and why did Darwin come up with his theory? Why do most people think he was right? And why is it more important now than ever before?"

BBC Nietzsche - Human All Too Human [Download]

"The prescient seeds of thought disseminated by Friedrich Nietzsche in the 19th century prefigured the pivotal 20th-century concepts of existentialism and psychoanalysis. In this program, interviews with Nietzsche biographers Ronald Hayman and Leslie Chamberlain, archivist Dr. Andrea Bollinger, translator Reg Hollingdale, writer Will Self, and philosopher Keith Ansell Pearson probe Nietzsche’s life and elucidate his writings. In addition, his sister’s role in editing his works for use as Nazi propaganda is highlighted. Extracts of Nietzsche’s aphoristic prose, drawn from works such as The Parable of a Madman and Thus Spoke Zarathustra, aptly convey the essence of a supreme stylist and prophetic thinker."

Darwin's Dangerous Idea Ep.3 - Life and Death [Download]

"Synopsis: In the final episode of the series, Andrew Marr discovers how Darwin's ideas are helping mankind to save life on earth from extinction - the environmental movement was built upon his insight that all life on earth is connected. Exploring the impact of industrialisation, intensive farming and our growing hunger for meat, Marr tells the story of our slow awakening to the full implications of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection and our own destructive powers as a species."

"Synopsis: Andrew Marr explores Darwin's impact on politics and society. The theory of natural selection has been used to justify imperial expansion and oppression, but Darwin's ideas were also crucial to the democratic, anti-racist values of the United Nations, and have been used to help eliminate a fatal genetic disease from the Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn. Darwin's theory of evolution has also led to the difficult social and political choices presented by predictive DNA testing."

Darwin's Dangerous Idea Ep.1 - Body and Soul [Download]

"Synopsis: In the first of a new three-part series Andrew Marr explores how Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection has taken on a life of its own far beyond the world of science. He argues that Darwin's theory has transformed our understanding of what it means to be human. Over the last 150 years, Darwin's ideas have challenged the need for a creator, undermined religious authority, and provided new ways of looking at the origins of human morality."

The Genius of Charles Darwin pt.3 [Download]

"In this final episode Dawkins examines why Darwin's theory remains one of the most controversial ideas in history.

As Darwin set out on the voyage on the Beagle he still believed that god created the world and everything in it. But the evidence he discovered - fossils, patterns of anatomical resemblance, startling similarities of embryos and domestic breeding - demonstrated the truth: that all life forms vary and that some are more likely to reproduce, passing variations on. His wife Emma, however, was deeply religious and Darwin never criticised religion in public but he believed that "science would bring about a gradual illumination of minds.

Dawkins travels to meet an old friend, Dan Dennett, who shares many of his own beliefs, to answer the question Darwin himself was confronted with: how can we find solace in a godless world?"

The Genius of Charles Darwin pt.2 [Download]

"In the second programme Prof Dawkins explains that Darwin's Theory of Evolution presented a disturbing truth: that humans are animals – the fifth ape. This forces us to question whether our morals and manners are just a veneer. He confronts an issue that even Darwin skirted around – the evolution of human beings – and asks 'what does it mean to be evolved?' And in world where religions attack Darwinism for excusing selfish or even barbaric behaviour, Dawkins is forced to enter Darwinism's heart of darkness."
