The Origin of Life Through Chaos.

I was always intrigued by the processes involved in the origin of life. The morphogenesis of the embryo; how the chemicals that control and change the behavior of identical group of cells to develop them into complex human organs? I had read many articles about it and they all were very explanatory but none as beautifully presented as the “The Secret Life of Chaos” series on BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00pv1c3

In this documentary, Professor Jim Al-Khalili sets out to uncover one of the great mysteries of science – how does a universe that starts off as dust end up with intelligent life? How does order emerge from disorder?

And the best thing is that one doesn’t need to be a scientist to understand it. The natural world is full of awe-inspiring examples of the way nature transforms simplicity into complexity. From trees to clouds to humans – after watching this film you’ll never be able to look at the world in the same way again.

Recently I stumbled upon the series on YouTube. Here it is divided in to 6 parts. Thanks to Atheist Planet’s YouTube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/AtheistPlanet2
