Well, first of all, there are some very knowledgeable scientists that make vids on YT. So, blowing off all of YT is disingenuous.
Second, I was a bio major before I changed it to Comp Sci.
And third, I have a shortcut on my desktop to talkorigins that I refer to constantly. Most ofter when someone makes ridiculous creationist claims, but sometimes I just read it for the knowledge.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
