Nice video, you did a good job of debunking his silly 'arguments.' As I was watching it, I wrote down a few little critiques, all of them dealing with the text stuff and delivery issues. These are all stylistic things, your facts and refutation were spot on. So, here they are, do with them what you will.

The font you chose was hard to read because it was so thin, especially when you put it over pictures. And about putting it over pictures, I would suggest not doing so if you can help it. It's better to slap it over a flat color screen to make it more readable. I also found the visual effect of the semi-transparent text moving across the screen to be distracting and overused, but hey, do what you like with it.

There were also a few sound issues. Your voice was too quiet, although I saw in your comments you have a way to fix that. The sound of your mic button being pressed was a bit annoying, maybe see if you can cut that out or make it quieter. I had a note about cutting back to the other guy's video without showing some of what you already debunked, but you only did that once, so nevermind. And then there were the few minor stumbles and stutters you had. They weren't a big deal, but a clean presentation is nice. I'd suggest practicing your script (or writing it out if you didn't do so this time) beforehand to avoid that.

The last thing I noticed was the poor grammar and spelling of your description and reply to a comment... Now, I know it's the internet and nobody really cares about proper grammar and spelling, but it really does make a difference. People will take you less seriously if they can point out some spelling errors you made. It's stupid, but it's true. So maybe run things through a spellchecker to avoid that? Your call, I'm just putting it our here for your consideration.

So like I said, you made good points. Style stuff aside, you whooped that creationist tard just as he deserved. I look forward to seeing more debunking goodness. :D

Hmm I see Your point, I am currently working on another video calling out his hypocrisy when it comes to free speech( he won't let anyone post video responses, unless he approves of them) so I will work on that

yeah I notice that too, I am working on that, My voice is quiet becuase I don't want my fundie parents to hear what i'm saying. But I can amplify that. also I didn't wrote a script, but I will next time.

If You could show them to me it would help, I ahve ocular albinism, and it is almost impossible to check my grammar and spelling, I have a few text to speech programs, but even then i still miss something. I'll try my best, but no promises.

Well After I am done my next video I plan on debunking ether GEERUP or creationistsWON,

Ah, that sucks, didn't know you had a... I don't know what word to use, disease, disorder, whatever it technically is. Like I said, it's not a big problem, so don't sweat it.

I don't know anything about creationistsWON, but GEERUP deserves some debunking attention. Keep up the good work. :D
