Science is founded on a line of philosophical reasoning which suggests that true things can be known through empiricism, or through sensory information. Of course the idea of truth itself has been refuted by nihilism, so we can’t say that science demonstrates the truth, it only demonstrates observations relative to the observer.

And much of the “science” discussed in this documentary is not science at all, because it does not deal with direct observation, but takes disparate pieces of data and then creates a fiction to tie them together. On other subjects it relies on mathematical reasoning which is, again not observation and thus not science, it’s another form of fiction, written in the language of mathematics.

I love space documentary shows but this one was not impressive.The information was very incomplete.For example to work out the vast distances between stars Astronomers had to have a standard candle to measure by.A Cepheid variable star was that standard candle because they’re very predictable in they’re behavior .The next one to be considered a standard candle was the supernova.I realize everyone needs to start they’re knowledge somewhere and this might be considered a good entry level film but I wouldn’t recommend it to someone wanting to learn about the universe.He may have been a reporter but clearly as he admits he didn’t know a thing about the subject matter.

Also civilization doesn’t stop at 6000 years it goes way farther than that and this isn’t disputed.Try more like 20,000 years with more findings already looking like they will push the dates further back then this.The oldest city up till only recently was in Mexico Tiahuanaco in the Bolivian Andes at 20,000 years it predates what this man claims by a very long time.The oldest known now is Adam’s Calendar found in southern Africa in the cradle of mankind dating back to 200,000 years with stone structures like Stonehenge and agriculture etc.

For those who were commenting on the complexity of the video- did you not read the title? it says “mad easy” right there… thus implying that its EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
