The host is rather obnoxious, isn't he?

Mountaineer, is that you?!
I could only watch a minute or so, but the presenter does have a lot of energy.
The whole evolution debate is kinda silly, IMO. It all comes down to your belief system. If one believes that the Bible is the true word of God and is scientifically and historically accurate, then that is the end of the debate.

Wow, that guy certainly is a piece of work... I couldn't watch the whole thing, this guy is a particular brand of crazy. His best argument against evolution is that the flood explains it away. As if, you shouldn't accept the scientific evidence proving evolution occurs, but instead you should believe that a few thousand years ago God told Noah to build a large boat and put 2 of every animal on it...
"No no no seriously, like the flood pretty much explains most of it too, if you give it a chance... No, I get it, you don't want to, creationists aren't really scientists, that's fine, but again, it's the lack of reason in the argument that is the issue here. He's not actually making arguments; can you see that? There's not been an argument yet. There's been a bunch of assertions, and like, he throws out these giant ideas, that somehow magically prove stuff... There's no reason connecting of the dots..."

Giant ideas, magically proving stuff? Like the flood caused fossils, or whatever silly creationists believe?
