    Great documentary, almost completely devoid of frivolousness and gets straight to the point. This guy has respect for Aristotle, but never recoils from being objective and direct about inconsistencies and the factual evidence.

    39:16 "It's a beautiful, if slightly mystical doctrine, for it said that the nature which Aristotle described, dissected and classified is, in fact, sacred.
    Had I a God; had I a God
    He would surely be Aristotle's."
    [Armand Leroi]
    That line haunted me since I first heard it.
    Thanks for posting this video.

    The last 5-10 min 1) are the best way to explain the value of experiments in science and 2) make it a lot easier than Pasteur's experiments on fermentation that disprooved the theory of spontaneous generation. great job, keep up the good work.

    I've always seen the lagoon as the "Womb of Life" .....

    0:41 A bit of a predictable opener. Am I taken seriously in this series???

    Hate to be that guy. But from 51:20 to 51:30 is a difference of one week. However, he wears the same clothing the same way & same position of lighting???
    Hmmmmm. Cool documentary though

  • @susanvaughan-schiele210

    Relentlessly systematic? He believed that flies came into existence spontaneously and failed to notice any eggs being laid. A big fail, for which he was ultimately disrespected as a scientist.😢
    What an amazing body of work though.
    The lagoon is a huge bay. I wonder what it was like in Aristotle's day though. Possibly smaller than now.
