I'm up to 41 minutes and TF has pulled back some credibility. This is difficult watching though.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

I can't watch that kind of thing, I cringe enough when listening to Republicans, Hovind is a step too far, although.... Is it funny?

AronRa provides a good demonstration of how to handle these people (don't let them take control of the narrative and don't let them get away with their nonsense). It wasn't Eric Hovind but they used the same tactic.
Enjoy the antidote.

I think the bizarre outburst of thunderf00t giving up atheism, was Eric desperate to get to the end of his argumentative thread and just decided to skip some steps. I think the concept of agnostic atheism is the normal atheism would blow his mind.

I watched the whole thing. I've got the stamina!

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

I beat you on that, I double facepalmed once, because one facepalm was not enough. It hurt like hell.

I can't bring myself to watch the whole thing.
