    Richard Dawkins, Darwin's Universal Impact (www.youtube.com)

    Cambridge University:

    Was Darwin the most revolutionary scientist ever? If, by revolutionary, we mean the scientist whose discovery initiated the most seismic overturning of pre-existing science, the honour would at least be contested by Newton, Einstein and the architects of quantum theory. But Darwin probably did revolutionize the world view of people outside science more comprehensively than any other scientist. I want to recognize four bridges to evolutionary understanding. The first bridge is to natural selection as a force for weeding out the unfit. The second bridge is the recognition that natural selection can drive evolutionary change. Bridge number three leads to the imaginative grasp of the importance of natural selection in explaining all of life, in all its speciose richness. Bridge number four is the bridge to public understanding and appreciation. Darwin crossed it alone.

    World history before the 16th Century was fabricated (www.youtube.com)

    Has history been tampered with? Did events and eras such as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the Roman Empire , the Dark Ages, and the Renaissance, actually occur within a very different chronology from what we've been told?

    The consensual chronology we live with was essentially crafted in the 16th century by Jesuits.

    The Four-Winged Dinosaur (www.youtube.com)

    Surprising fossils from northeastern China spur a debate over how birds evolved. The discovery of a bizarre fossil astonished scientists and reignited the debate over the origin of flight. With four wings and superbly preserved feathers, the 130 million-year-old creature was like nothing paleontologists had ever seen before.
