NEW YORK (The Blaze/AP) — After its successful series on the history of America in 2010, television’s History channel is setting its sights even higher.
The network said Tuesday that a 12-hour miniseries, “Mankind the Story of All of Us,” will debut late this year. History, seen in more than 300 million homes worldwide, will offer different versions of the series in different parts of the world, the first time it has ever done that.
“America the Story of Us” hadn’t even concluded when History executives, impressed by its ratings, began talking about what to do next, said Nancy Dubuc, the network’s president and general manager.
“Rather than take a slice of the America story and do something more in depth on that, we decided to go bigger and broader,” she said.
The “America” miniseries was the most-watched special ever on History, with 5.7 million people watching the first episode and nearly 40 million people in total watching some part of it, the Nielsen ratings company said.
The new series starts with the Big Bang and traces the development of humans on a planet where the vast majority of species go extinct, said Jane Root, the project’s executive producer.
Root described it as a “real action-adventure” project, one that encompasses astronomy, geology and other sciences along with history. It will make liberal use of computer-generated recreations in its storytelling, she said.
The series traces the development of tools and the construction of the pyramids. Root said the production tries to make viewers aware of what it felt like, for instance, to set sail for distant lands on a ship when the common belief was the world was flat.
Root said she was surprised to discover the amount of connections among cultures in ancient times, like when Vikings visited China and fought with people in what is now Canada, each before the time of Christopher Columbus.
“We all grow up in a place where we learn just our history,” she said. “You grow up in America, you learn American history. You grow up in France, you learn French history. To try to bring it all together and yet still make it a real exciting story of how humans made it is a real challenge.”
History will offer companion material to schools interested in the project, although Root said it was “very important to us that this wasn’t an educational mission. This is something you’re going to watch like the best of a Hollywood superhero movie.”
About a third of History’s audience is in the United States. Worldwide, History is available in 150 countries, with India the biggest market, and in some 35 languages. Dubuc said the project would be localized in several markets with the inclusion of interviews with local historians.
Airdates have not been set for the series, which will stretch over six days, but it will be within the last three months of 2012, the network said.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 11:48amATHEIST circles in the science community once claimed that the universe HAD NO BEGINNING. It was a Christian who first postulated a theory of the universe kick-starting with a massive explosion. ATHEISTS mocked his theory – calling it The Big Bang as a joke. But the more scientists looked at teh structure of the universe – the more they had to concede that the Christian was correct.

Why is it either/or? How about both/and?
Genesis was not written to be a science book – its focus is the special relationship between God and mankind (the only creation to be made “Imago Dei”). And what does a “day” mean to anyone before the sun & stars?
Time is measured by the decay of radioactive materials – but time does not function in all places/times in the same way. The further back you wind the spring, the faster the mechanism goes (from an outside vantage point). So while no-one inside time might observe changes, an outside observer would. (see 2 Peter 3:8)
Mathematicians who are working on String Theory postulate that tiny strands of energy vibrating in 11 dimensions form the basis for all matter and energy in the universe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtdE662eY_M
The Bible-believer in me can’t help but think that if they are correct, that these strings literally still vibrate from the commanding voice of the Almighty who spoke (speech is vibration) all things into being.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 6:49pmAh yes the 2 peter3:8 this verse does nothing to back up or defend the millions/ billions or whatever the lets add more time to the numbers to make it more plausible. Those verses speak only to the existence of God outside of time as we know it.
In Genesis a day is a 24 hour day as the Hebrew word indicates . God, in Genesis actually creates the 24 hour day/ 7day week in which His creation will exist.
Problem is this.. we take something outside of scripture “science” or whatever and change scripture to fit it, instead of allowing scripture to determine what is outside. In doing so we allow men to “tell” God instead of allowing Him to tell us.
Jesus said to His own disciples… “let the little childern come to me”… Genesis is written so as to a little being able to understand and trust in Him, and WE HIS DISCIPLES prevent that… God kept it simple on purpose !!!
I am not against science … but if it contradicts the Word… I’m stickin with the Word.

I‘d also like to add that many physicists are are now deeply questioning the Big Bang as they rightly recognize that something can’t come from nothing It should be fascinating to hear what they eventually come up with. Love your thoughts on String Theory, BTW. And for those of you out there who feel the Bible or God is threatened by this, believe me, it’s/ God’s not.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 11:42amHC has finally latched on to “Big History,” which some historians have been advancing for about 20 years.
The general idea is that the histories of particular countries, entire civilizations, civilization itself, and even the prehistoric human past as far back as you want to take it, each successively can only be understood against a larger-scale backdrop.
Thus, the US for all its “exceptionalism,“ is a special case of a European ”settler society,” Europe is a special case of a second-order civilization, civilization is a roughly 6000-year-old adaptation to conditions encountered in some, but not all, early agricultural/horticultural societies, agriculture and horticulture are adaptations of certain post-Ice Age societies in the absence of big game, and so on back.
The ultimate large-scale backdrop at present seems to be the Big Bang, though possibly “Big Historians” may now have to make room for various “multiverse” theories that have been kicking around lately.
There are now college courses and textbooks on the subject, e.g., “Big History” by Cynthia Brown.
Better anyhow than HC’s tired old stuff about ancient aliens and Nostradamus.

One of the newer theories is that there was actually one atom of hydrogen that was always “just there”. (We don’t know from where that little atom, (with almost no mass) came, but it was this atom of hydrogen that exploded and created the universe and the water that gives us life.. The problem with this theory is that an atom of hydrogen won’t explode without and atom of oxygen to make the reaction. Maybe there was an atom of oxygen that was “just there” as well. I guess there was an atom of carbon that was “just there” too.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 12:26pmYou seem to have the notion that something “exploded all over the universe.”
That is not how scientists conceive the “Big Bang.”
It would not have been “something”–whether a hydrogen atom or something else–exploding or expanding into space, like a bomb going off.
It would not of course have been an audible “bang,” nor would it have resembled the cool graphics you see on TV science (and science-fiction) shows, with rays of light shooting out in all directions.
Light itself would not have existed for the first few hundred thousand years after it.
It was, and still is, space itself expanding and the matter-energy within it cooling.
The theory holds that hydrogen, carbon and oxygen atoms only formed after the original forces (such as the strong and weak nuclear forces, electromagnetism, and gravity, and particles (such as electrons and quarks) had become distinct from one another.

I love studying physics, and the more I learn about physics, the more I appreciate God’s creation. I believe that the big bang happened. I also believe that it was God who started it. I don’t view God as a magical being at all. I believe that God is simply the most brilliant physicist ever, who had such a profound knowledge on how the universe worked that he was able to create life, You will find that this is a view that many educated christians (educated meaning scientific) and physicist are starting to adopt.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 10:40amThe Big Bang is like the theory of Aliens seeding our planet. It just kicks the argument of a first cause down the road. What was there before the big bang? What exactly caused “all energy in the universe encapsulated in a single, mathematic point” to explode in the first place? Science’s answer? The universe explodes, expands, stops, collapses, repeats. O.k., what started that process? Oh! It is an infinite process, you say? Why is it when science postulates a ludicrous assumption it simply adds more time to the process to make it believable. Sort of like when the general public stops being concerned about Trillions of dollars in debt — it’s akin to saying “gazillions” it is beyond comprehension, thus beyond thinking about, and acceptance sinks in. The more science tries to negate the existence of God, the more its credibility erodes. “History of Mankind”? You mean the history of the highly intricate machine with moving parts that gets more complex the smaller they get that is built and maintained by a blueprint (DNA) many orders of magnitude more sophisticated than any code language invented by those very same machines? And how pray-tell did those machines come to even exist? Oh, right. Get a big pool of water, add sand and electricity, and stir! Mathematically impossible you say? No, no, no – it’s possible, it just takes millions – no wait – billions of years! Still not possible? . . . gazillions of years?

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 6:16pmYes, very well said. The big bang was impossible. If all the matter in the universe were contained in a tiny dot which spun faster and faster until it exploded, the matter would all travel and expand at an equal rate, constantly getting farther and farther apart. In the vacuum of space there would be nothing to slow it down or cause it to change direction, enabling the bits of matter to come together to form all the celestial bodies out there. Also there is the law of conservation of angular momentum. If this little dot were spinning and then exploded, everything that came out of it would spin the same direction. Why then are planets and whole galaxies spinning in different directions? There are too many things that depend on too many other things in order to be for all of this to be random chance. Based on everything that I’ve seen, experienced and read, the Bible is not in contradiction to science, it reinforces true science.

How does that have anything to do with “history” — and I won‘t insult anyone’s intelligence with having to actually define the word “history”. It seems that the article and title is valid, given that the miniseries is attempting to create “history”, in part, where only conjecture and fantasy exist.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 9:31amActually, all energy in the universe encapsulated in a single, mathematic point is about as high an order and low an entropy as you can get. Since the Big Bang, which we can measure as the Cosmic Background Radiation (the ringing of the cosmos caused by the explosion), that original order has just been getting more and more disordered. As the universe cooled, the original, uniform energy has blossommed into a plethora of complex subatomic particles that did not exist at the beginning of time, you see.
Everything else is just localized rearrangements of that original entropy.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 8:35pm@ 4 Truth 2 All:
And I quote: “The second law of thermodynamics distinguishes between reversible and irreversible physical processes. It tells how this shows the existence of a mathematical quantity called the entropy of a system, and thus it expresses the irreversibility of actual physical processes by the statement that the entropy of an isolated macroscopic system never decreases.”
The universe is expending. Not only expanding, but accelerating in its expansion, cooling as it goes. In the fullness of time, the universe will become a thin, uniform, cold soup of heavy atoms. Even black holes evaporate given enough time. That will be a state of the universe of maximum entropy and minimum order, more commonly referred to as the “Heat Death of the Universe.”
Taking the above definition of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the whole universe as the macroscopic system, it states simply that the universe as a whole decays. It never decreases in entropy (in the whole) and it never increases in order (in the whole).

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 9:26am“If evolution is true, then there is no God.”
Wow… the logical fallacy here is amazingly obvious (it’s called Denying the Antecedent, a type of Non-sequitur). Let me rephrase this for you.
“If the idea of spontaneous generation (ie, biological life occurring spontaneously from amino acids) is true, then the account of creation as per the Bible cannot be taken literally.”
This does not negate God’s existence at all; it just means that Genesis from the Bible wouldn’t be literal (but could still be a metaphor, for example). It also doesn‘t mean the Bible isn’t literal in other parts.
But you used evolution, rather than spontaneous generation (a common error; they are very different concepts). Evolution itself is simply biological changes over generations in a species, and it occurs (and is still occurring). The only contention is how much change marks the line between one species and another. Is it the ability to reproduce? Or just another obvious trait, like wing span, or an additional organ (or lack of one)?

I’m a Deist as well and I am always amazed at how some religious folk seem to believe that science and religion have to be mutually-exclusive. They talk on-and-on about the errors of believing in man but fail to realize that the good book was written by man and is full of enough contradictions that it should be clear it isn’t 100% accurate — perhaps it was at some point, but today’s rendition is certainly not. And yet when man studies the *actual* work of God (nature, the Universe) and merely reports on what he observes God has done, these same people decry it as evil.
I’m fine if people want to read the Good Book; but for me, I look at the Universe and I see the hand of God everywhere; the Universe is my scripture of truth. If others want to look in a book about what God did in the past, fine; I’d rather look at what God is actually doing in the world today.
There is insufficient reason to believe in traditional creationism; there is plenty of reason to believe God works through evolution.

Understanding science does not mean being anti-Christian. Understanding, for example, the definition of a scientific theory will make strawman arguments like “Evolution is just a THEORY, and so is Intelligent Design!” be shown for their falseness (ID is not a scientific theory). Such knowledge doesn’t condemn Christianity at all, however. Many scientists are Christians, as you pointed out.

I find it odd that you posted that list, which comes accompanied with a thread following it that goes about disproving or discrediting the names on it. You know, fun things like pointing out how several are from almost 80 years ago, others misunderstand the theory of evolution (”man evolved from apes!”), and still others are blatant lies (Futuyama, for example, is well known as being the president of an pro-evolutionary society and has published several books supporting it).
As always the issue seems to be twofold. First, people make up their own definition of evolution, and second, they seem to think evolution HAS to disprove God. People, in this case, meaning both believers and non-believers. Both are foolish and unproductive. Evolution is clearly defined: biological changes across generations. It does NOT mean abiogenesis. It does NOT preclude spontaneous creation (although that’s always been a stretch, especially as defined in the Bible). It just means that organisms change over time and through generations.

I’ve tried numerous times to explain the definition of “scientific theory” (ST) on this site. It’s a losing battle as long as people define “theory” as “false premise”. Theory means “work in progress” or “the current best SCIENTIFIC explanation until something better comes along”. Usually it comes down to ID being considered law and ST considered false, or the “…since scientists don’t know the complete answer, every part of the theory must be false” premise. It’s hard to have a dialogue under those conditions.
On a different note, I can‘t comprehend why a believer wouldn’t want to know how G-d did it (the original intent of the scientific method). I also don’t understand why it is so important for atheists (separate from non-believer) to try and convert believers. There are bigger things to worry about for both sides. Time to start talking solutions and what brings us together instead of what separates us. Just a rambling thought..

But I don’t recall a single passage where God actually said what he did.
So I doubt that man went from zero to hundred I do believe man was created but in a design that would allow him to achieve what God intended. I think of God as the Supreme Farmer that seeded the world with a balanced systems then placed man into the picture test it and test man.

The Theory of Man Evolving from Apes, Darwinism was proven False by Darwin admittedly, interesting that the Darwin evolutionists have neglected to preach or teach that Darwin admitted his mistake / creation of his theory based on false / created data of his times, why it’s not mentioned as they indoctrinate children with a false premise. Now as for the big bang? No Human knows the facts, just can GUESS… that is all, If they would teach it as a Theory, Guess, our best idea of how the universe, Earth, Humans, life was created fine, but they will teach, brainwash as Virtual FACT, sadly these so called highly educated miss the simple answers of reality. Even Eisenstein admitted there was a Creator who did create everything for our discovery. There is an Unlimited amount of Galaxies in the Universe, what we think are stars viewed with the Hubble are Galaxies with billions / trillions of stars in each one, nothing is created out of nothing, Even God as recorded by many civilizations as he spoke with them, tells of taking the matter that was there (all ready existing) and created the Earth from it, man (Adam,Eve) where created from the Dust of the Earth, etc. now as for evolving, Evolution happens, part of Eternity. Spirits come to Earth, Receive a physical body, will die, resurrect and continue,evolve to the next phase. That‘s Just as good a theory as any human child Science Guess idea’

Let’s have a crack at it, shall we? Humans did NOT evolve from apes. Got that? Good. Apes and humans both evolved from a DISTANT common ancestor. Got that? Good. The line of H.O.M.O. (because The Blaze censors **** (*damn!*)) culminated in ****-sapiens (*double damn!*) about 100,000 to 250,000 years ago. At that time, all previous, less evolved members of our family tree, distinct from those branches which would lead to modern apes, had died off.
This also all happened AFTER the K-T event, which killed off all of the dinosaurs and other such prehistoric megafauna. The line of man and the line of dinosaurs were never contemporary. So, no, The Flintstones is not speculative pre-history. It’s a kiddy cartoon. But, I can understand how an underdeveloped mind could make that mistake.

Evolution theory is basicly survial of the fittiest well man is hard the fittest we are one of the weakest spieces with little to no natural defense with off spring that takes the longest to mature to the point of self suffiency. That’s the easy hole in the theory. There’s the gaint gap between man and all the spieces that preceeded it include the spieces most like man.
And as for the big bang the theory itself is provable on any level as we have barely scratch the surface of the edge of the universe.
It would seem that you would rather belief myth put forth by scientist than myth put forth by bibical history.
So it would seem that it’s the source and not the answer you take question with.
