Hullo!
What's wrong with the statements made in the following video? (Only those of course which deal with evolution.)
A creationist Youtube video with the title 'Proof evolution is an evil lie from satan (the devil)' was put on Youtube up by a person with the nick VenomFangX.
You can see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvyQRdlKiwI
Suggested forum 'Education and Creation/Evolution'.

Hi Princess.
As it stands, this really isn't much of an appropriate OP. Sorry. One suggestion would be to paraphrase those points you think are questionable in the actual OP (rather than just providing a link to a video). As many here have heard before: we don't debate websites.
If you'd like to pursue this topic, simply edit your first post. I'll take a look later.

    Hi AdminQuetzal,
    Thanks for your answer.

    Good idea. I'll listen to the video and write down the script.
    May I ask you is there a forum where I'm allowed to post this link about the video?

    Yes'm. Links and Information is a good choice. However, that's not intended to be a "debate" forum per se. If you want some discussion, then all you need to do is pick out a few "goodies" and set up an OP starring them in Proposed New Topics. Either myself or someone else will take a look, and either help you refine it, or promote it.

    Not much content
    Hi to both of you.
    I listened to it. I'm afraid there is almost no content at all.
    It is about 3/4 or so just a rant against the science because it disagrees with the posters religion.
    The rest is just laughable and based on utter ignorance. There is at least one video rebuttal but I didn't listen to it.
    There must be a better one there to chew on.
    ABE
    In fact I kept asking myself if this guy is a fake -- just spoofing creationists. He is soooo bad.

    Thanks for your reply.
    When I watched this video for the first time I thought it was a parody. I checked out his whole Youtube channel, I checked out the comments he received, etc, etc, etc
    My decision is that he really means what he says. A clue might be the following. I wanted to leave a comment and it turned out that he supervises which comments can appear and which can't. Suprisingly, all comments on this video are positive.
    One of the reasons I suggested the 'Education and Creation/Evolution' forum was so I can ask others to help find out how it was possible for a bright young man like him to be distanced from reality so much.

    Hi Princess.
    What have you decided to do? I'm planning on holding this PNT open only until tomorrow (Monday) unless you indicate otherwise, at which point I intend to close it unpromoted. Let me know.

    The topic is actually being discussed in another thread. I think you can close this one.
