The New Atheism movement

[Emu]

I can't respond to this in full now due to lack of time, but I will say that the term "bright" is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. They say it's not supposed to be associated with the obvious connotation of "intelligent" but it very obviously does.

I didn't much care for that video, either, but then again it's just another piece of the same crap that every atheist with a webcam and a YouTube account puts out at some time or another. It was condescending and guilty of a lot of the same fallacies he accused Christians of being guilty of. Like when he showed that timeline with Satan bouncing about and saying that the first Easter was celebrated in 2300 B.C. or whatever and not showing any proof of it, even a bloody snapshot of an archeological dig.

That and he used that god damn "this is just a simulation" song that every atheist video ever uses, so he loses points for that.

Plus, I think I would've been more shocked if he had asked those questions to theologians who couldn't answer it than people on the street who couldn't answer it. Most people on the street can't tell you what a quadratic equation is either, but you don't film them stumbling around for an answer with the caption "MARTHA JOHNSON: MATH STUDENT FOR 14 YEARS" underneath them. The fact is, any random person you meet on the street isn't likely to know much about any random topic you thrust in their faces.
