The problem with the video is they base their arguments on facts they know nothing about.

Show me where in the bible it said how old the world is. It's not in there, it was MUCH later on a theologist came up with the date. It's not in dogma in any religion out there, it's not supported by any church. The gravity is false claim? Show me one church who present that as dogma. This video is similar to making the argument connecting the people who create anti-military web pages (which count and cheer every US death) with atheism as a whole because a few of them are.

I think, perhaps, the point of the video is to get theists to watch it with their guard down, at least for a moment. It's really not that inflammatory. All it does is point out, in an innocuous (and humorous) manner, the fundamental issue with orthodox belief...

It's unnesessarily condescending, that is the problem with it. Point out your issues why you don't believe in a God, but don't put out pompus videos like this and then tell us to lighten up isn't going to spark some magical debate. How many religious people have inspired a good debate with you by starting off every sentence calling you a monkey and say you're going to hell? None? Oh, maybe you should lighten up then.
