Bacteria - Paul Anderson
Paul Anderson is an excellent teacher, but teaches from an evolutionary perspective. I do not feel that he is intellectually honest in his comments about origins at the beginning of the clip. He talks as if the concept that we have all descended from one cell is a proven fact, when reality is, no one has ever discovered this cell. He talks as if we have proven that there is a lot of genetic transfer from the prokaryotic  cells to the eukaryotic cells, and this is assumed, not proven. It is my personal opinion that  the reason the science community is switching from a 5 kingdom classification system to a 3 domain classification system is that they have found that proving evolution on the basis of structural characteristics is impossible, and they hope to do it on a cellular level. Anyone who thinks this is possible needs to read "Darwin's Black Box" by Behe.
