I think it should be retitled "A Christians Worse Nightmare."

That so many non-Christians have seen this and thought things like "You have to be this stupid to join a church? No thanks." is a depressing thought indeed, even a nightmare.

What is worse is the lack of people standing up and saying that this video is stupid from the Christian side. Just because this man is a Christian does not mean we have to let this kind of stupidity go unchallenged.

Again, it is a nightmare that this level of ignorance and stupidity is what the Christan Church is being represented by and accepting.

Wow, I have to agree with Lewis... this is really really bad and not convincing at all. After defending Theistic evolution against Creationists for weeks now with strong scientific arguments I can honestly say that I would never use that video in an argument or in any way.

<------- wakes up screaming

(sorry, was just remembering the first time I tried to watch that vid)
So it IS the atheist's nightmare, just not quite in the way that he wanted it to be. ;)

I've never seen this one before, but no, this is not an Atheist's Worst Nightmare.

I've seen Kirk Cameron and this guy before several times. I happened to have seen these two talk to people about God on the street with better success.

My suggestion is they stick with that, but as soon as they get into challenging evolution and debating they just fall flat and don't do well for Christians.

I saw them one time debate atheists and it was embarrassing. People just have a special forte but these two keep on going there when they shouldn't. It's not their strength.

How about all the fruit that isn't especially conforming to human beings? But, that's a given. All this explains is why people like bananas . . . Thank God for them, but that's all it does.

Haha.. Yeah.. I definitely agree with you. There's no need to stretch the idea of theistic evolution. This is no where close to an atheist's worst nightmare, because it was one of the most pathetic arguments for theistic anything that I've seen. There are so many holes in that it's not even funny. Honestly, if a non-believer saw that video they would think, "Wow, this guy has absolutely NO concept of natural selection."

Why aren't TE's jumping on this thread? Every child knows monkeys love bananas. It seems to me that the shape of a banana, coincident with the shape of the primate's hand, would be an excellent bit of evidence for Divine TE.

The banana, as we know it today, is a human invention, bred selectively over hundreds of years for its colour, taste, and shape. Therefore, arguing that the monkey hand evolved to fit the banana (or vice verse) is about as stupid as arguing God magically created the banana to fit our grip.

Though your rebuttal has crossed my mind before.

When he said "unless an outside life contaminates it" I thought I was going to hear an argument for panspermia.

But how about that tequila with the worm in the bottle? They should have gone to a tequila manufacturing facility and showed that the worm was placed there by men, just to erase any doubt. :)
