I'm sure old Rev 777 will love it (and be completely unable to say why) but honestly, you'd think that at least a few of these people will twig that there's something fundamentally fucked up at having to defend a viewpoint using only lies, right?
I think it's interesting that in my experience most people who do not have a proper grasp of the theory of evolution - and by that I mean both a grasp of what a theory is and the concepts of evolution - regardless of religion, faith, ideology, etc. often have misunderstandings about it and while most non-Christians do not make videos about their misunderstandings it shouldn't matter that Christians do.
We are happy to let the film 'Gravity' pass despite it's massive scientific inaccuracies and it is far more likely to misinform people than this low budget Christian documentary.
I mean, us Brits didn't give Americans a hard time when the film U-571 got an Oscar despite it depicting Americans as the first to capture a German Enigma code machine in WWII when we all know it was the British Navy (HMS Bulldog) who first captured one from German U-boat U-110.
The more atheists make a fuss about this kind of Christian claptrap, the more credence we give it.

I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
