OK, well since modern science isn’t an entity that can make assumptions … that is probably not what Farren was saying ….

He was commenting on how nature documentaries (certainly when I was growing up) had a much dimmer view of animal intelligence. And at many points in time, science (or more accurately select scientists representing the leading edge of scientific knowledge) have turned out to look completely arrogant. Yes we all understand that science progresses through the community and application of the scientific method … it does that slowly over time which is exactly the point Farren was making before you told him just how wrong he was :D If science progresses over time, how could it possibly be insured from past statements seeming arrogant in light of later discoveries? That was a trick question :P

Compare for example, a dog’s or bear’s nose to that of man,, or the short term memory of chimps to that of our own; we fall miserably behind. Their short term memories are not just better than our own, they are hundreds of times superior.

So the fact that they -the maker’s of this film, use man as some kind of ruler that the rest of the animal world must measure up to and the term ‘supernatural’ to describe the perfectly natural senses of others animals, already has me thinking this will probably contain many interesting things but the presentation will make it nigh unwatchable.

In any case, being ‘interesting’ and being ‘factual’, can still be valid, where its just peer-reviewed papers that discuss at any length of detail such things and some magazines, means that just because it isn’t ‘excepted’ to be taught to the masses mainstream, that does not mean the research isn’t being done, story of the ‘meta-physical’ flies anyone haha!!??

Providing evidence is the issue in these cases but it means you have to go find it yourself, and consider all the aspects of chemistry, physiology, physics, et al, to gain a better picture. And still, entertainment can still have a level of real world science can it not!!?

‘Hmm, sounds like you are one of those wannabe genius europeans? ‘

you sound like one of those who cant keep their nose away from someone else’s ass.

Absolutely fantastic documentary. blown away.

Great doc, anyways. Interesting. But, as others have mentioned, not much scientific detail or proof. I suppose not every doc has to be an educational lecture. TY

I hope this docu is gonna give some proof instead of just fancy talk and special effects.
