Top ten reasons atheism is completely idiotic

Saw this on reddit and felt like we all need a good laugh.  (The video art is particularly ironic since it was formulated as an image response to extreme stupidity on the internet with creationists explicitly mentioned as one of the offending parties)

I love this guy's tone.  It looks like he was recently the proud recipient of a lifetime's supply of atheism-brand suppositories and is quite sore about it.

1) Science does not have all the answers.  Science is the method of getting answers.

a  That's true.  You can't put God in a test tube.  He's completely untestable.  Except for the famous prayer-off between Baal worshippers and YHWH worshippers.  That was a test.  But otherwise, untestable.

b "Science can't test history"  Dunno who came up with that one, but that's definitely not true.

c  "Do you believe you're a person or just millions of single-celled organisms working together on a body"  Why not both?  Also, I have yet to meet a person who wasn't composed of cells.

d  Apparently, this guy thinks that atheism means that morality doesn't exist, which alas, is 100% correct.  If only us atheists could come up with some system of ethics that doesn't require a divine fiat from some sort of supernatural being.  This failure is manifest most clearly in the barbarous behavior of atheists around the world and the saint-like behavior of Christians, who need only ask for forgiveness after any wrongdoing.  /sarcasm

2.  Burden of proof shifting.  And apparently a big fan of Shock of God.  Lulz.

3.  Actually, evolution is a fact.  Observed and inferred instances of speciation.  Descent with modification is the theory used to explain these facts.

Macroevolution is not a separate phenomena from microevolution.  And yes, DNA does change.  It's called mutagenesis and it's well-documented.

4.  This is apparently a redux of #3.

5.  "Atheists provide no answers for anything."  By which he apparently means atheists can't explain things that are currently unknown.  Got me there.  How I wish I could just come up with whatever explaination my heart desires and pretend that it's authoritative, but alas...  And speaking of, water is apparently intelligently designed to freeze from the top down so it doesn't freeze fish,   Except when it does.

Evolution doesn't require that males and females evolve independently.

6.  With the exception of Doctor Jackson, ancient aliens is not a hypothesis that is generally taken seriously.

7.  No scientific proof here, but it's pretty clear that an omnimax God would be logically impossible.  And it strikes me as a somewhat strange idea that if you go back in time, before people existed, before life, before stars, before atoms, you'd find some fantastically complex being with all sorts of powers.  It's like a cake recipe where step 1 is fully-constructed wedding cake.  Doesn't seem like the right progression, you know?

8.  ID rhetoric long past its expiration date.

9.  "Damn God mockers.  This is the last time they make a fool of me!"  *proceeds to be a massive idiot on YouTube*  "That'll show them!"

10.  "Atheists will tell you that you are a mind numbed zombie, who will believe anything"  Bro, you're not exactly falsifying that claim.

"Keep in mind, they don't have time for fact checking or actually thinking, though they call themselves "free thinkers"."  They do a fair job of it, usually.  And it certainly regarded as an important habit in atheist circles.  In contrast, in Christian circles, you typically need look no further than the Bible, if that.  You could get the congregation to start their prayers with Hitler quotes if you had a mind to it.

Another adherent of atheistic cell theory, I take it.   :P

If only the world had more pious Christians who believed that their organs are made out of ...I don't know... Jesusomes?

Nah, they phased out leaded paint a long time ago, but he probably snacked on car battery parts.

After reading the comments I have determined the video is not worth 13 minutes of my life.

I only watched a few min worth. But basically.... "I don't understand, therefore you are stupid"

That's what he was basically saying.

Sorry I can not watch any videos due to the fact that I have a limited amount of Gbs which is a wopping 2G. Videos are out for me.

But I did like all the comments and answers provided. Gave me an idea of what the video was about.

All he needs to do is provide evidence for his favorite God. That's all. Show me a photograph or something, anything!

Easy.  Atheists are assholes, atheists believe in scientism, betcha can't prove a negative, I'm a person not a collection of cells, and do you really think it all came by random chance.  Boom, Christianity must be true.

Hydra, you forgot that everything can't come from nothing, and aren't the trees and flowers and mountains and clouds really pretty? How can you say there is no God when everything is SOOOOO PRETTY??

Christians: 1
Atheists: -1 million
