You can and should hate evil actions without actually hating the person.

This is ridiculous as a program that is from a more scientific or evolutionary nature is not likely to mention god, does not mean that he is not believed in, yet more religious extremism

Opinion by nevilleadan...

Darwin recognised that Evolution is a rapid process, and no where as slow as scientist's of the day thought.

The Bible clearly shows Evolution in part of the creation process. The days accounted in the Bible indicate the Days of God and not the Days of Man.

So the time factors in the Bible for the Creation can indeed be a long period.

Opinion by nickrayment

His programmes are showing nature in its element. There are not references to evolution, so why should there be any references to one of a number of false gods (in that, I mean it wouldn't matter which god, someone will take offence that theirs wasn't credited).

Opinion by Machiny

There is no reason at all why Sir David should credit 'God' in his programmes, assuming that he is not a religious man, any more than he should credit any of the other multitude of creation stories which people have come up with in the past.
I think that the few religious people out there who would do something like this are making a bad name for the majority who, I'm sure, are kind loving people. These people are shooting themselves in the foot.

Opinion by Davemorg

I don't see why God-believing people should criticise Attenborough for not including a reference to something which he does not attribute as being the main reason for the origin of life on earth. If he said he was a Creationist, then I could understand, but I don't think he ever has said so.

Opinion by Radio Wales

He is a person who observes what he sees rather than speculate about something that may or may not exist.

Opinion by dollydebs

For goodness sakes! His programmes are about the wonders of nature and aimed at all those people from all walks of life and religous beliefs who are enthralled by our planet.
To introduce God and religion would be a hugely controversial concept and would detract from the fundemental aims of the programmes: increase our knowledge and awareness of the natural world around us and to marvel at it!
