@@jwonderfulsuccess Yes, irrefutable. That's what facts mean. Examples of things that provide irrefutable facts are Gravity, Fossils and DNA. Which means if we took knowledge of those things away from humanity for 1000 years and then rediscovered these examples after all knowledge of them disappeared. They would provide the same outcomes....if we walked out a window on the 3rd floor 1,000 years later we would still fall too our deaths. We would still find fossils and get the same results from them, as well as from DNA....this is what irrefutable refers too, discoveries that wouldn't change no matter when we found them out

One of my most favorite animals has always been the whale AND the elephant. Otters will forever be my all time favorite but the history behind both elephants and whales has always held my undivided attention and respect. I grew up in the Florida Keys so respect for nature and wildlife was instilled in me pretty early in life. I sure wish other share this sentiment. All I can do is lead by example and I have raised my children the same way. My middle daughter collects everything elephants. I will definitely be sending this to her.
Darwin's evolution, a paramount damn profound structure of great colossal lies since the late 1800s. The religion of evolution has Darwin as their Pope, Dawkins and Degrasse as their high priests, the museum of natural history is their cathedral and the missing link is their messiah. "It is clear evolution could have not occurred." - Nobel Laureate Richard Smalley, winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. ***Evolution Requires Faith*** For many, a belief in evolution comes from the desire to remove the need for God as Creator. Some would say evolution comes from what the evidence says to us. But evidence never speaks for itself, it’s always interpreted using your assumptions and starting points. And only when you examine the evidence through the lens of the Bible does it makes sense. Evolution is rooted in the belief system of naturalism that doesn’t allow for anything outside the laws of nature to explain how our world operates. Ironically, naturalism requires the violation of several known laws of the universe. - The law of biogenesis _[life only comes from life]_ - The uniformity of nature _[uniformity cannot exist or be expected without a creator]_ - The laws of physics _[the big bang requires the suspension of the laws of physics, nor could those laws exist without a Creator]_ - The laws of probability _[he fine tuning of the universe requires a Creator]_ - The laws of logic/arithmetic _[logic requires a logical source]_ - The laws of chemistry _[the consistent properties of the elements require intelligence]_ - The laws of information _[information can only come from an intelligence]_ To accept that all of these things truly operate in the world without God as their Creator and Organiser requires an immense amount of faith. While it is often used as a criticism of Jesus followers, those who have an evolutionary worldview must accept all of these things by blind faith since there is no naturalistic explanation for the existence of these laws. While Jesus followers also accept certain truths by faith, it is faith in the Creator and Lawgiver who provides a basis for those truths, not a blind faith in blind, chance processes.

Our selfish stance is systematically annihilating the very world we rely upon. And yes, we even ended the giant Tolstoy likely because he was feeding off of crops we grow in his land.
An humans living in rural poverty, in their drive to feed their families, need money, and ivory to them means a great deal of money on the black market, sadly, capitalism, developers etc is driving the sixth mass extinction, and their excuse is always the same, to justify ignoring scientist and conservationists efforts to preserve the natural world for these magnificent animals, on both land and sea, for when they are gone we will surely follow…in a Geological blink of time, tragically, great documentary, thank you !

I've been honored to talk to whales. First time Orca killer whale jumped on pool ledge, putting his nose on my pocket of sugar cubes for horses! Another tme on san Juan Island Washington State when Orca swam under my rubber raft and scratched his back.
I was watching a UA-camr not long ago and it showed a small town in Alaska where they are actually allowed to hunt whales because it’s part of there culture. Than showed them bringing in a dead whale they had killed. It was the saddest thing I had seen in a very long time. I think it should be illegal for anyone to kill a whale.
They are beautiful animals, but if people indigenous to the land are to eat in a way that can be sustained, there should be regulated exceptions to the animal’s protection
It’s a small amount that they hunt for their OWN consumption!!! And they have been eating whale for thousands of years! That’s how they survived in that climate! Whale and seal meat had all the nutrition they need. It’s not to make money, they only collect the meat and divide it up among all the people in the community. That food is a vital part of their culture! What if someone said you can’t eat chicken McNuggets anymore because some people in another place think doing that to chickens isn’t right. It’s their right to harvest those whales. They do it ethically and sustainably like they have for millennia. I think we should just leave them alone, indigenous people know what they are doing.
I Have this in my DVD collection. Including 2 copies as a little insurance. 12:31 & 13:18 If it isn’t the Wankel T.Rex. Or should I say the Nations T.Rex now? It sure looks good making an appearance on this Documentary. Also, 1:37:56 That’s my favorite Elephant trumpet sound made by the 4 tusked Elephant Stegotetrabelodon.

@39:05 Why feathers though (which happen to be conducive to flight and would catch air incumbering the animals clutching speed)? Why not fir? What we have here is a chicken or egg conundrum (pardon the pun). Perhaps it leapt from perches or trees onto its prey and feathers evolved, that way, to cushion its fall. But I don't see the evolutionary niche in feathers as warmth.
I think crocodiles are the #1 survival beast ever created by life through evolution.. time.. climates.. etc.. on planet Earth !! Crocodiles are totally insane ! 🤘😎👍 📌Awesome video documentary ✅
I think the most interesting question is what happens if humans die off and go extinct. I think many of our domesticated animals, that we've spread across the world would evolve into some of the most predominant lineages. The chicken, the cow, the very few species saved or increased dramatically by humans, rather than made extinct by them. Imagine chickens evolve into apex predators, in an ironic note towards their dinosaur history.
Domesticated animals came from their wild counterparts, so I'd assume they would kinda revert to that. Dogs will be like wolves, chicken will be like their wild ancestors, etc.
My favourite evo story. Does anyone know if there is any video footage or pictures of small changes in the fossils of Pakecetus indicating it was changing to ambulocetus and small changes in ambulocetus had evolved from Pakecetus. All we currently have to observe from what gets floated online is these 2 animals once existed and are now extinct. Anything else beyond that requires imagination and a accept and believe attitude
What is so amazing is that hominids eveloved to the sound of birds belloing ,belling ,svreetcjimg and singing ,before we where birds already where . Most likely this why we find birdsong and sounds ,beautiful ,evocative and hypnotic . Before we began our very earliest evolutionary steps ,before us birds where there ,we evolved to all the variety of sounds that birds make.

The discussion on whales is forwarded with a lot of hindsight, things that seem "natural" on the basis that it must have been so to make sense to us. It just couldn't have been otherwise. A single bone allows all these inferences, with other, lesser bones "naturally" falling in line as supporting evidence. And there we have the graphic product hunting in coastal waters! A few dates are given, so we do know now that about 10 million years appear to have been enough for the massive changes necessary from wolf to whale. Biology and genetics might help us there. We would need to know about the time it takes for all the adaptations, i.e., for the beneficial mutations to be realized and become fixed. We would need to resolve the issues of interdependent functionality arising at once, and we would need to know about population sizes that enable the entire feat. Perhaps 10 million years is a gross underestimate, after all, considering the vast number of mutational changes necessary, which could not have happened simultaneously in the Darwinian purposeless world. Not all of the palaeontological community is by no means behind the story presented here. Of course, a lot of scientists need to protect their jobs and to do so they need to stick to the current paradigm that rules their "scientific" world. But I can't help being unenthused about Darwin's macro-evolutionary feats and contemporary fossil wizardry. Even the National Geographic has bought into this evolutionarily peaceful and relaxing picture of whale evolution being portrayed in this video. Well, rest with it and look no further, or go on and watch Richard Sternberg's "Whale Evolution vs. Population Genetics."
If the theory of benefits of great size in the water "held water", all species in that habitat would increase. Any account of size of organisms in any habitat woult have to explain small sizes also, down to micro organisms.
It's amazing, this is the first Nova documentary I've ever seen that was narrated by someone who was almost asleep. I can just picture him, not recording his lines in a sound booth, but in his pajamas, tucked into bed with a snuggly warm blanket and his teddy bear, very close to drifting off to sleep, barely able to get his lines out between yawns. Can someone please get this man a very large coffee? Or perhaps can we get a narrator who at least sounds even mildly interested in the subject matter he's discussing?

This one of those narrators who puts on what he thinks is a "windswept and interesting" voice (to paraphrase Billy Connolly) and ends up just sounding like he's half asleep.
The world will miss Attenborough, in my view the greatest of communicators; how I wish he'd provided the narration for this.

Incredible video I thought I would be clicking on just another wildlife awareness video, I have been rewinding it so I don't miss a word.
Huge science video documentary that covers so many areas. Birds, whales, elephants and more. PBS has done such great work here. 👍🏽🌏😮
It's full of lies. ***Is the Fossil Record "observable evidence" for Evolution?*** Lets test this.
1) Who saw the geologic column form? No one.
2) Who saw the sediments get layered? No one.
3) Who saw the time eras get laid? No one.
4) Who saw the fossils get sorted into the time eras? Nobody.
6) Who saw how the fossils lived, died, went extinct, and supposedly evolved? No one.
So what does all of this mean? It means that the Fossil Record 100% solely relies on eisegesis which does not replace observation, nor does it trump observation. And what's worse is that only those who already believe evolution is true are the only ones allowed to the evidence. That makes the data partisan and bias.
***Evolution is a Lie - Is the fossil record "observable evidence" for evolution? Not a cold day in the Lake of Fire possible.***

It is so sad that the Telegraph Cove Whale Museum shown in this doc burned to the ground a few days ago.
An excellent documentary, further solidifying the reality that interaction between species is the only way for life to flourish. Our selfish stance is systematically annihilating the very world we rely upon. And yes, we even ended the giant Tolstoy likely because he was feeding off of crops we grow in his land.
Love it!

An humans living in rural poverty, in their drive to feed their families, need money, and ivory to them means a great deal of money on the black market, sadly, capitalism, developers etc is driving the sixth mass extinction, and their excuse is always the same, to justify ignoring scientist and conservationists efforts to preserve the natural world for these magnificent animals, on both land and sea, for when they are gone we will surely follow…in a Geological blink of time, tragically, great documentary, thank you !

You are the realisation of Biological "AI". "It is clear evolution could have not occurred." - Nobel Laureate Richard Smalley, winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
**Evolution Requires Faith**
For many, a belief in evolution comes from the desire to remove the need for God as Creator. Some would say evolution comes from what the evidence says to us. But evidence never speaks for itself, it’s always interpreted using your assumptions and starting points. And only when you examine the evidence through the lens of the Bible does it makes sense.
Evolution is rooted in the belief system of naturalism that doesn’t allow for anything outside the laws of nature to explain how our world operates. Ironically, naturalism requires the violation of several known laws of the universe.
- The law of biogenesis [life only comes from life]
- The uniformity of nature [uniformity cannot exist or be expected without a creator]
- The laws of physics [the big bang requires the suspension of the laws of physics, nor could those laws exist without a Creator]
- The laws of probability [he fine tuning of the universe requires a Creator]
- The laws of logic/arithmetic [logic requires a logical source]
- The laws of chemistry [the consistent properties of the elements require intelligence]
- The laws of information [information can only come from an intelligence]
To accept that all of these things truly operate in the world without God as their Creator and Organiser requires an immense amount of faith. While it is often used as a criticism of Jesus followers, those who have an evolutionary worldview must accept all of these things by blind faith since there is no naturalistic explanation for the existence of these laws. While Jesus followers also accept certain truths by faith, it is faith in the Creator and Lawgiver who provides a basis for those truths, not a blind faith in blind, chance processes.
The "laws" may exist but your definitions of their workings are ludicrous.
perhaps it should've stated more clearly that this was released in 2019. if i am not mistaken we mourned Tolstoy's death in 2022
I've been honored to talk to whales. First time Orca killer whale jumped on pool ledge, putting his nose on my pocket of sugar cubes for horses! Another tme on san Juan Island Washington State when Orca swam under my rubber raft and scratched his back.
I was watching a UA-camr not long ago and it showed a small town in Alaska where they are actually allowed to hunt whales because it’s part of there culture. Than showed them bringing in a dead whale they had killed. It was the saddest thing I had seen in a very long time. I think it should be illegal for anyone to kill a whale.
Indigenous Alaskan people kill very few whales compared to what European people did and still do on one island.
They are beautiful animals, but if people indigenous to the land are to eat in a way that can be sustained, there should be regulated exceptions to the animal’s protection
It’s a small amount that they hunt for their OWN consumption!!! And they have been eating whale for thousands of years! That’s how they survived in that climate! Whale and seal meat had all the nutrition they need. It’s not to make money, they only collect the meat and divide it up among all the people in the community. That food is a vital part of their culture! What if someone said you can’t eat chicken McNuggets anymore because some people in another place think doing that to chickens isn’t right. It’s their right to harvest those whales. They do it ethically and sustainably like they have for millennia. I think we should just leave them alone, indigenous people know what they are doing.

1,500 Blue Whales, is not very many.
@39:05 Why feathers though (which happen to be conducive to flight and would catch air incumbering the animals clutching speed)? Why not fir? What we have here is a chicken or egg conundrum (pardon the pun). Perhaps it leapt from perches or trees onto its prey and feathers evolved, that way, to cushion its fall. But I don't see the evolutionary niche in feathers as warmth.
Great episode
Noah, you did such a good job!
So did you watch it? Also this vid shows so many extinct taxa so I'd say Noah did a terrible job
When are the walking whales

I don't like how this document is been edited. Too fast cuts and too many super close ups.
Spiders and frogs I think they might even predate everything
Well obviously not everything
I saw one in Asda recently. In fact many.
Her name means river in Gaelic. Ironic.
Whose? The most common Gaelic name for river is Abhain= bh sounded v or f= most common Brythonic name, Avon.
Thought this was about wales
The horned crocks remind me of the Cuban crocodile, they have high ridges over the eyes that look like small horns!
The amourd scales of the crocodile must suggest that they were once also prey from vicious predators.
They fight eachother and many species take down large and powerful prey. Armour doesn't always mean predation.
I thought Charles Darwin settled this argument a long time ago
Some people still beat up on a piece of grass where 150 years ago there used to be a horse.
He identified the broad process for ALL spieces, not the individual lineages of specific modern animals.
He knew nothing about genetics.
He nudged the science of evolution in the right direction, but still left many problems and questions.

I think the most interesting question is what happens if humans die off and go extinct. I think many of our domesticated animals, that we've spread across the world would evolve into some of the most predominant lineages. The chicken, the cow, the very few species saved or increased dramatically by humans, rather than made extinct by them. Imagine chickens evolve into apex predators, in an ironic note towards their dinosaur history.
Domesticated animals came from their wild counterparts, so I'd assume they would kinda revert to that. Dogs will be like wolves, chicken will be like their wild ancestors, etc.
My favourite evo story. Does anyone know if there is any video footage or pictures of small changes in the fossils of Pakecetus indicating it was changing to ambulocetus and small changes in ambulocetus had evolved from Pakecetus. All we currently have to observe from what gets floated online is these 2 animals once existed and are now extinct. Anything else beyond that requires imagination and a accept and believe attitude
What a boring documentary 😬 just bla...bla...and doesn't show how they really lived .
What is so amazing is that hominids eveloved to the sound of birds belloing ,belling ,svreetcjimg and singing ,before we where birds already where .
Most likely this why we find birdsong and sounds ,beautiful ,evocative and hypnotic .
Before we began our very earliest evolutionary steps ,before us birds where there ,we evolved to all the variety of sounds that birds make.
tripe

We are so tiny
The discussion on whales is forwarded with a lot of hindsight, things that seem "natural" on the basis that it must have been so to make sense to us. It just couldn't have been otherwise. A single bone allows all these inferences, with other, lesser bones "naturally" falling in line as supporting evidence. And there we have the graphic product hunting in coastal waters! A few dates are given, so we do know now that about 10 million years appear to have been enough for the massive changes necessary from wolf to whale. Biology and genetics might help us there. We would need to know about the time it takes for all the adaptations, i.e., for the beneficial mutations to be realized and become fixed. We would need to resolve the issues of interdependent functionality arising at once, and we would need to know about population sizes that enable the entire feat. Perhaps 10 million years is a gross underestimate, after all, considering the vast number of mutational changes necessary, which could not have happened simultaneously in the Darwinian purposeless world. Not all of the palaeontological community is by no means behind the story presented here. Of course, a lot of scientists need to protect their jobs and to do so they need to stick to the current paradigm that rules their "scientific" world. But I can't help being unenthused about Darwin's macro-evolutionary feats and contemporary fossil wizardry. Even the National Geographic has bought into this evolutionarily peaceful and relaxing picture of whale evolution being portrayed in this video. Well, rest with it and look no further, or go on and watch Richard Sternberg's "Whale Evolution vs. Population Genetics."
Wanton ignorance. And, they didn't evolve from wolves.
If the theory of benefits of great size in the water "held water", all species in that habitat would increase. Any account of size of organisms in any habitat woult have to explain small sizes also, down to micro organisms.
