It's not that it's an atheistic rant, but the show is seemingly focusing on rebuttals used against creationists. The whole human eye segment. It was interesting, but he started it with "Some people say that the human eye is too complex to have formed through natural selection...." If you follow the creationists vs. intelligent design vs. evolution debate at all, you know that the premise that the human eye is too complex for evolution is a big argument put forth by creationists and intelligent design folks. And that's pretty much the feel of the whole show. The first episode defined "some people" as the church with its animated flashback to Bruno. The second episode focused big time on proving that any point put forth by creationists is wrong. I'm completely on board with everything the show is saying except for its delivery. All the show is doing is alienating people who may come in with predisposed notions about life that the show's producers disagree with. This guy said it best.



This is some bullshite.

If he doesn't address the eye argument, the deniers would say he purposely left it out because it proves evolution wrong.
He does address it and he's attacking them and ridiculing their beliefs.

He was in a no-win situation with people like you, and decided to not back down and address your false belief.

Now you're angry.

Tough titty. He did it in a very respectable way. You just want to be offended.

You come across as an unintelligent person. I'm sorry you have trouble with reading comprehension.

It's funny to me for people to believe in an all powerful God, but to also believe him or his written word are imperfect

I agree with this. Even if you take it as an attack on religion (it is really just an attack on a horrible argument), it did segue into a very interesting lecture on how the eye has evolved.
