= ep1 The Root of the Tree
From the "[[Response to AronRa]]" series.

== Summary
This video doesn't appear to attack any form of theism other than to promote evolution, which some people feel is against theism. However, I don't think so, and neither does AronRa (see the response to [[1st  foundational falsehood of creationism]]). Therefore I don't really feel the need to respond to the video other than to say he displays faulty reasoning at times. For example when discussing Darwin at 0:40 he states that Darwin admitted there were no transitional species discovered in the fossil record during his time, but that since such species were discovered later, "so Darwin knew his theory had been vindicated while he was still alive".

Thankfully this seems to be the only such instance of AronRa using logically dishonest arguments in this video, and at that, it is on a minor or irreverent point. Unfortunately this video doesn't make any statements that really attack or support theism that we feel need to be responded to.

== Polemical Value
This doesn't seem to be a video to which a response is required.
