This series is about perhaps the most powerful idea

The idea is evolution by natural selection.

And the genius who thought of it was Charles Darwin.

I'm a biologist and Darwin has been an inspiration to me

His masterpiece, On The Origin Of Species, was published 150 years ago.

And it changed forever our view of the world and our place in it.

What Darwin achieved was nothing less than a complete explanation

of the complexity and diversity of all life.

And yet, it's one of the simplest ideas that anyone ever had.

that evolution offers a far richer and more spectacular view of life

It's one reason why I don't believe in God.

I want to show you how Darwin opened our eyes to the extraordinary reality

In this first programme, I'm going to tell you who Charles Darwin was,

explain how he discovered his theory of evolution, what it is,

By the end, I hope to have convinced you of the truth

that evolution is a fact, backed by undeniable evidence.

And I want to give you a glimpse of the brutal elegance of the force

which, Darwin realised, drives evolution on...

When Charles Darwin was born 200 years ago,

from all parts of Britain's growing empire.

Every animal was believed to have a unique place in God's creation,

each made by God according to his perfect, unchanging design.

the young Charles Darwin was taught that God had created the Earth,

and all this rich variety of life just 6,000 years ago.

Today, thanks to Darwin, we know differently.

But even now, according to polls, four out of every ten British people

how little our children are taught about evolution at school.

to study one of the most important ideas in science.

I went to meet a science class of 15 to 16-year-olds

at Park High School in London to try to open their eyes to Darwinism.

Why do we need to find out about evolution?

Because it is the explanation for our existence and because

because everything we know about life is explained by it.

I can't understand it, I don't believe it,

Right, so you know what you believe when you start,

and any new book that says anything different,

I just like...I've found a stronger evidence,

is because that's the one you were told first?

'I can see that a few hours in the science lab is no match

'for a lifetime of religious indoctrination.'

Is that a good reason to believe something?

Yeah, because I went to church since I was little.

Yeah, they're brought up to believe that...

So everybody should believe what they're brought up to believe

You can be made to believe something in science, and then,

you can be made to believe something in religious studies,

but it's really up to you what you believe.

Well, look, I hate this phrase, "made to believe", that's awful,

I was trying to make anybody believe anything.

Perhaps you haven't got a full impression

Nobody has seen evolution take place over a long period,

and the after effects are massively supported.

where nobody can stand up and say, "I saw the murder happen",

but yet, you've got millions and millions of pieces of evidence

which no reasonable person could possibly dispute.

'something they can touch with their own hands, see with their own eyes.

'Later, we'll see if I can make them think again.

'he would have been as much of a creationist

Darwin was born into a prosperous Shropshire family in 1809.
