How did you watch an hour long video and post about it only 20 minutes after I posted it?Their argument is bad and you should feel bad.

There is a huge clue on YouTube. They have the comments turned off. Science based videos never do that. Only pseudoscience videos tend to do that because they know that real scientists will refute their nonsense.How did you watch an hour long video and post about it only 20 minutes after I posted it?
I saw a summary on the web site but not a transcript of the entire video. Where did you find a transcript of the entire video?I read the transcript on the Hoover Institute website. I don't watch videos.

Wait, did you lie about reading the transcript?Summary transcript tomato tomato
They make a few broad assumptions that are wrong.
I don't feel like debating it though, just felt like pointing it out.

The part about the Cambrian explosion is interesting.
Why do you think that one is needed?I saw a summary on the web site but not a transcript of the entire video. Where did you find a transcript of the entire video?
Plus the phrase "Cambrian explosion" is misleading. From a geological perspective it appears to be very fast, but it was still tens of millions of years long. From a biological perspective it is not all that fast.I'm somewhat unsure why they're attempting to debunk Darwin's theories, given that science has moved on.
I'm also struggling to spot any scientific evidence for their assertions, which is perhaps why they're denoting this as mathematical.
However...they talk about rapid DNA mutation, but the Cambrian fossil record is not strong, and DNA can't be extracted from fossils of that age, so...they seem to be using 'common sense' arguments.
That's all well and good, and I know they aren't biologists, but I think overturning broadly agreed scientific theories will take more than common sense.
It's the Hoover Institution, not Institute.The part about the Cambrian explosion is interesting.
Based on new evidence and knowledge that functioning proteins are extremely rare, should Darwin’s theory of evolution be dismissed, dissected, developed or replaced with a theory of intelligent design?
They're pedaling pseudo-scientific clap-trap: so-called "intelligent" design. That's all I need to know to see that it's utter and complete hogwash. Pretty soon if they keep going all science classes will be replaced by Bible studies. It also illustrates that Hoover is a home to pure and unadulterated horse ****. I suppose they hate medical science as well.
