I am sure Professor Cox just like Carl Sagen,can talk on many different
Scientific subjects without mastering it at university.
How do you know he hasn't studied biology.
I am sure he would have had the relevant scientific advisers to make sure he was giving the right information.
Why the tear down ???
He is like David Attenborough,Carl Sagen, and others is trying to get science and nature out to the public,and in my honest opinion is doing a bloody good job.

Yes....quite right...you have a point there.....but I have a problem with things being ' said ' ...as if they are the ' real facts ' about how things ( life ) came about.

I certainly don't know how ' life ' came about because like myself, Brian Cox wasn't there in the ' beginning ' when it ' ALL ' started....no one was.
To me...it's all speculation,lots of good ' theories ' being passed around over many decades etc.

Anyway....I guess Brian and other members of the Scientific Community are doing their best to ' explain ' things the best way they can ' according ' to what they ' deem ' is a possible ' outcome ' of how life began.

This is where I come in.....do I accept what their saying as ' plausible ' or as ' fact ' ... especially by the way they present it to the viewer.

Somethings I accept....somethings I can't......because they don't ' sit well ' with my own ' perception ' of things.

That's the joy of human nature....being able to ' decide ' what each of us accepts as ' fact ' ...or ' truth '

BTW...I love watching Sir David and other types of Doco's relating to Space or Nature ...I have lots of these in my Blu-Ray collection.

Cheers......Col.
