The documentary is part of the series 'The Genius of Darwin'.
In this episode Dawkins examines why Darwin's theory remains one of the most controversial ideas in history.
Highlights of this episode include a science teacher who believes the world is less than 10,000 years old, the Archbishop of Canterbury being made to look like an intellectual cretin, and an insight into the hate mail which Professor Dawkins receives from 'good christian folk' for his outspoken support of science over mumbo-jumbo.
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.
