Not-So-Critical analysis of NephilimFree's "Educating The Dodo" @NoToPseudoscience

UPDATED 12-01-2012 - EXPAND ME!

Apologies to everyone watching this video. The last minute was cut off. I suspected YouTube was at fault, but on further investigation it turns out that my video encoder choked at the last minute (pun not intended) and that portion of the video was not encoded. The list of references I linked down below was also included at the end of the video and the tally count did not finish showing on screen. Finally, a further explanation of my conclusion was lost.

Let me know if you want me to re-encode and upload the video again. I won't do so unless enough people are interested, as it's over a gigabyte of upload and takes hours to encode from my editing software.

Original Description:

Censorship is not a valid argument.

This is a not-so-critical analysis of NephilimFree's "Educating the Dodo" series from 3 years back. It is a re-authoring of my original series with a lot more data and the inclusion of many more references than previously. Hopefully it is slightly more entertaining.

Unfortunately my list of references is too large to fit into the description box, so I have included them in the following link. Let me know in the comments or by PM if the link expires for any reason.

References: megaupload.com/?d=VLBDY9W0
(Unfortunately, MegaUpload has been killed off by the FBI, so everyone's files have been locked away, including legitimate ones like the one listed above... The link will remain for historical purposes, and in the hope I can get the file back so I can upload it elsewhere)

They include the original references that the ExtantDodo channel cited in their original critical analysis video.

There are many channels that have made some excellent responses to NephilimFree's nonsense, and I will add them here as I discover them. For now, the following channels have responded to NephilimFree in the past:

Not-So-Critical analysis of NephilimFrees Educating The Dodo

$Creationist Name & Shame Series - True.Origin 3 of 3 PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Im citing Fair Use under US Copyright Act, Title 17 512 (g)(f), specifically those clauses covering Comment and Criticism, as well as the DMCA. http://www.aclunc.org/issues/technology/blog/asset_upload_file939_6218.pdf Also Fair Dealing under UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 c.48, Part 1(Copyright) Section 79.4a http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1988/ukpga_19880048_en_4 Censorship is NOT a valid argument. This is a video series that does not try to explain Evolution, does not try to refute peoples arguments, and does not attempt to engage people in debate about the provisions involved in Evolutionary Biology or the other, unrelated sciences that Creationists try to use. The sad and simple truth is that you cannot reach many of these Creationists with facts and evidence as they are too closed minded to accept it. In addition, many of them are so inured and hopelessly dependant on their belief system and have been convinced by their Evangelical ministers (or Rabbis or Imams) that they will fight dirty to protect their belief even if that belief is not under attack by science. The only recourse for these people is ridicule. Thunderf00t has his video series on why people laugh at Creationists and this is designed to complement that. He has more scientific knowledge than I do (Im not a scientist) and can explain the science behind his refutations of creationists. The purpose of my video series is to out Creationists whereve I come across them and show other people, using their own words, just how stupid, fanatical, unreasoning and vile these creationists really are. Each video in the series will address a single Creationist, their infractions, and the evidence that they have committed these infractions. Never again will a Creationist be able to make the claim that they havent taken anything out of context, because I will show them for the liars that they are. Never will they be able to make a claim that has been refuted, because I will point them to the countless sources, references, websites and videos that disprove their arguments. Never again will Creationists be able to sit there with a strawman representation of Evolution, such as assigning Cosmology, Physics, Gravity, Abiogenesis, Random Chance, Something from nothing or any other claim that has nothing to do with Evolution, because I will respond with proper scientific definitions and point out where theyre making claims that have no basis in reality. Never again will Creationists be able to shift the burden of proof, because each and every time they do, I will provide the Onus Probandi explanation and why the Burden of Proof rests with them to prove that their God exists, and never again will Creationists tell me Im being a hypocrite by insisting they have the burden of proof, because I will point out that Evolution has met and continues to meet the burden of proof on a daily basis as new discoveries are made. I will expose claims made based on hoaxes, I will point out the errors in their arguments, and I will, ultimately, name and shame these Creationists. This video continues a response to an Essay by Jorge Fernandez entitled Talk Origins: Deception by Omission, as responded to by Mike Dunford.$
