How an idea makes you feel has no effect on if it is correct or not.
If a doctor tells you, you have cancer, you do not disbelieve that because you don't like the idea. Some people do disbelieve but only after the shock has worn off
And the sheer arrogance of that bloke in the video, I only had to watch 20 seconds until I got fed up. Five ways to look at god, worldviews, and he has the arrogance to put Christianity along side atheism, theism, deism. As though christianity is different to every other religion in that respect. Absolutely pathetic. Not to mention atheism is not a world view at all. It is a single position on the existence of a god/gods. It is a reaction to theist claims, nothing more. He also got the definition of atheism wrong, it does not mean, god does not exist, it means we do not believe that he does. That does not mean we believe he doesn't exist. Theism in general has not made its case. In court you are either guilty or not guilty, never innocent or not innocent. Just because you vote not guilty does not mean you think the person is innocent. Look at Ojay. The reason they voted not guilty is because the prosecution wasn't any good, there was not enough evidence to convict him so they voted not guilty. God or Infact any god is 'not guilty' of existing.
There, rant over.

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
