That episode was about silly gaps in reasoning or something. He usually doesn't wear a hat.

alternate ending: the caller realized the debate skills he learned from How To Make Converts And Influence Textbook Committees were intrinsically shallow and deceptive. he wept furiously then blew his brains out.

alternate ending 2: he became liberated and engaged in a big gay orgy

I swear, in one of their videos someone uses that exact argument. After demonstrating a complete lack of knowledge as to the meanings of "evolution," "scientific theory" or even the most basic concepts, they end up relying on "Man is not the same as a monkey. You have to agree with that. So evolution is wrong!"

I actually thought they did a good job, despite how extremely tempting it must have been to belittle and talk down to the caller.

Do you play any good movies with all that projecting?

The caller began with ad hominems, and rather than play the game they just showed him where he was wrong. You can see them actually trying not to smile.

After the call they summarize the argument in clear and, what I felt were sympathetic terms. The hyper-religious, creationists in particular, are used to accepting arguments based on their source. They are not bad people, but accept arguments from authority. So be it.

In their mind it makes sense to call someone a Darwinist. It's not always meant to be an insult. They are under the assumption that other people are like them (-"ists"), just on the other side of the fence.

When in reality there is no fence, just the evidence, and it supports certain conclusions but not others. Evolution is not an attack on Christianity, but a small group of Christians believe that it is and so they will always refuse to look at the evidence and the arguments any further than what is required to misapply quotes from famous scientists.

In fact I was glad he said the Einsteinian bit because it's the shortest possible way (one word) to show why calling someone a Darwinist doesn't have anything to do with evolution.

Damn I wrote way too much

Ugh. I left something out too...these guys are in fact pretty smug, just not in this episode :)
