from 6:39 in "Science is a bit like solving a crime - the guy never confesses, so you have to look at the evidence". What if the guy confesses? What if the creator speaks?
Does the guy get the irony that this test doesn't make the cut on all the points, and therefore, if the test is able to find baloney, this is baloney and if it's not able to find baloney, it's baloney? There's an impossibility to get data, to separate this from prior worldview assumptions, to test this kit scientifically and so on. This is because what's being said is philosophy.
I love the ending 'We trust doctors and engineers to make us better/keep our plane in the air therefore science works and we need nothing else'. How is this not different to 'lots of people trust God to heal them/save them/whatever therefore Theism works and we need nothing else'? It's showing the exhortation of this video to be a call to faith. It's showing that at the bottom of it, is an assumption that's baloney, an awful reason to believe.
