Ok.
First is his contention that since some theories are found wrong or are currently unexplained, that it undermines the idea of cosmological evolution. That's like me telling you I drove from Dallas to Wichita and you tell me that would be impossible because 3 miles of I-35 is closed in Oklahoma City. Falsifying one small part of the path does not falsify the larger claim.
Second is the contention that the data he's throwing up somehow strengthens the idea of a young earth. Truth is, not a single bit of evidence he presented supports a young earth. Even for the alternatives he presents, he fails to mention that none of those alternatives support the idea of a universe that is 6-10,000 years old.
Listen, the talk is great for those who really don't want to think about the subject. Many Christians really don't want to understand the science or the implications, they just want some excuse to feel smug and secure. Personally, I think this type of argument is less than honest and fails to equip Christians on exactly how complex this topic is.
I'm all for admitting that science is far from having it all figured out. It has figured out enough, though, to make a young earth an impossibility. Either the universe is billions of years old, or it was created to appear that way - and, either way that turns out, the implication is that young-earth creationists are wrong and scientists are right.
