Watching the vid and commenting as I watch...
- Evolution does not make claims about the origins of life, only the origins of species (it explains the diversity of life), yet that's what he says at the beginning.
- Well God is something from nothing.
- The universe is not perfect or "perfection".
- Out universe is just one of many possible outcomes. Had anything been different, we would just have a different universe. Changing things would not lead to only destruction. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyuy6bxHFDI
- Entropy only applies to closed systems, and he defines it wrong. Also, biology is not a closed system.
- Talking about painting needing a painter, building needs architect...etc.: The reason we look for meaning behind certain phenomena is evolutionary. The caveman who figured there was something behind a rustling bush got alerted and survived (points to whoever guesses what TV show this is from :p). The negative side effect is that now we look for meaning behind everything. We can't really help it, our brain have been hard wired this way. Even theist accept a lot of this stuff.
- Evolution by natural selection has been observed already.
- A soul is something man made up.
- About creating life, scientists are getting there. We've already had some breakthroughs with artificial life forms.
- Brains are too complex/mysterious. Reviving someone (within reason, like a couple minutes dead = no brain damage) is outside our scientific ability at the moment.
