Cosmos depiction of cell structures.

[Kablooie]

When I saw Cosmos depictions of proteins strolling about inside cells on little legs and a big spinning machine splitting DNA into two strands for replication it seemed almost too incredible to believe. On Reddit there is a discussion of this and, yes, they were accurate.

Here are some videos explaining these structures in more detail.
Kind of mind boggling.

1. I had the same thought.

When I saw the dna-splitting machine I wondered if that was fact-based or some kind of imaginary sci-fi machine. Thanks for posting this. Very cool.

on edit
It looks like you removed the Creation Ministries clip, but how come I can't see your edit?

3. Oops. I deleted that video and found a different one.

The Creation one was scientifically accurate but of course they came to a different conclusion.

8. The story I heard was the secular organization

developed a video first. Discovery Institute used pieces of it in one of their productions. When it was found out they went back and essentially copied it from the secular organization instead of independently developing a video. It is a whole lot easier to do the video if you already know how it should look.

9. If memory serves me correctly they were sued for copyright because of it...

Though I don't know how the suit turned out.
