RachelWatch Classic: For the Darwin

Today: The Evolution Will Be Televised

Rachel was off Tuesday night, so let's look at a few classic clips in honor of the 150th anniversary of Darwin's On the Origin of Species.

First, Rachel looks at the state of science education on Darwin's birthday and gives us all the chance to be touched by the FSM's noodly appendage.

Next, on a more serious note, Rachel chats with Frank Schaeffer about the Antichrist. (After some talk about czars, who are apparently equally terrifying.)

And finally, the boundless joy of one of evolution's odder little quirks getting the chance to get it on.

Well, sort of.

    What I love is that the parrot climbs right back up his arm for another go at it after Fry takes him off.

    On this 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's publication of "Origin of Species", I'm thankful for his multi-decade effort to understand one of the greatest questions of human history: where do we come from? Darwin was also not writing for the short-term. He developed his initial thinking about evolution by natural selection decades before he published. Darwin's method created Darwin's greatness. His long-term, patient approach to amassing the evidence and testing his hypotheses stands as a model for all humanity for all time. Ironically, by virtue of evolution, humans are endowed with a tendency to think and act in the short-term. But, this tendency is not our destiny. Darwin and Thucydides and others show that we can live our lives as if what we do today will matter for decades and centuries beyond us - and for that lesson I give much thanks. I think the book is a must have even if it means you have to get some money to lend.
