"While I appreciate your sense of humor, your latest video is way off the mark."
"I don't feel the need to [answer the question], your accusations are without merit. "

"RabidApe, of course he didn't approve the response. Why should he with as corrosive a title as that? There's a lot you could complain about VFX but in this case it's an unfair bit of slander."
RabidApe says:
"It's not slanderous to ask a question - and the question cuts to the very core of his "thesis".
I explain in the video that I think the answer to the question "How many people has VFX murdered?" is probably zero.
What I'm really curious about is:
If believing in evolution gives you "no reason" not to be a thief, rapist, or murderer, then WHAT WAS IT that kept him from doing so all those years that he supposedly DID believe in evolution?"

Carl Sagan clip, to illustrate how forms can change gradually over time. There is a LOT of speculation in the beginning (particularly the part about abiogenesis!), but remember that this is 20+ years old now, and is part of a much larger series that goes beyond the scope of evolution. I include it as an illustration only, you could even skip to 3:00 or 6:00 if you want and you'll still get my point:
