Part 2 is worse.  He gives you all the proof that Noah had 2 of each 
dinosaur on the ark.
You are certainly correct that Darwin never did anything remotely resembling 
his claims.
If you get to the part of his claim of a human footprint embedded in a 
trilobite fossil, it
is actually a cracked trilobite fossil.  Given sufficient imagination the 
crack has a slight
resemblance to a modern day heel imprint in mud.

I would be interested to know who the evil evolutionist is that offered the 
owner of the
fossil two million dollars for the fossil so that they could destroy it. 
Frankly I do not
know anyone with two million dollars that they are willing to spend for the 
purpose of
destroying fossils.

I am not entirely sure that this guy is the problem.  Like Jim Jones, the 
fact that he has
a following is the real problem.

Wow.

He actually starts the talk by saying that professors *typically* kick off 
the semester by conspicuously discarding a Bible, and telling anyone with 
religious faith to get out. And then says that the faith of "many" students 
is rapidly shattered. Even Dawkins doesn't do that.

I tried listening to more, but it was too painful.

No wonder passions run so high...
