How do I claim back on my guarantee?

Sorry the Intelligent Design rubbish got in the way

[IainC]

I watched a bit (without sound) and I've seen better pictures on the BBC..

Also the phrase 'intelligent design' which flashed up at the start is an instant warning you are listening to a religious nutcase, I'm guessing the whole TED thing is a front for creationist pseudo science, the less that is promoted the better..

Sorry not impressed,

Iain.

Sorry to get reasonable here (what - on an internet forum???); but what is wrong with watching the video thinking 'wow - isn't nature wonderful'; regardless of how you choose to believe the creatures got to the point where they can do what they do?

Edit - I wish I could spell things rite first time

Hook people with pretty pictures, then attach a dubious promotional message, it is called 'advertising' :D

Thought people should know they were being advertised at..

Also ID, whenever and where-ever it raises its ugly head, deserves to be roundly put down. Personal bugbear..

Better underwater pitcures on 'the blue planet' I'll lend the DVD :D

lovely thank you- watched without sound so hope I didn't miss too much

Maybe I'm still too innocent.

It was posted to my favourite u/w photography forum and I thought the clip wonderful and distributed it to a few other forums, such as this one.

When I got some feedback (not having looked at the comments section) I at first poo poohed it and then, having read the comments section for myself wrote as follows:

Had a look at the comments section and, quite frankly, at first thought that I was viewing the comments of another clip (is that the right word? Getting better at this video thingie, ain't I ).

I happen to be, as many of you would know, a died-in-the-wool Darwinist as well as an atheist (your own Oxford Prof Richard Dawkins' "The god Delusion" - lower case "g" intended - is my currently favourite book, I'm in the third reading of it) but I fail to see what the diatribe that followed, from both sides of that argument, had anything at all to do with the film clip. Absurd comes to mind.

I couldn't be bothered to become a member of that site just so that I could put in a suitably cutting comment. Those self-important idiots, on both sides, aren't worth it anyway.
Until you lot came up with the idea that this film clip was actually propaganda, never mind whose propaganda, I was the actual innocent (just for a change :rolleyes: ).

I still don't know precisely who is trying to do the propagandising, suffice to say that the film clip itself is nevertheless brilliant and should be viewed as such, propaganda notwithstanding.

That, BTW, is how it was presented to my favourite forum, with NO comments as above to date. But then, those guys (that's both an m and an f term in my book) are only interested in the photography side of things anyway.

I'd not worry too much and wonder at the ever changing results of evolution.

Still a great bit of underwater film though and regardless of the hidden agenda well worth watching.
