Answer 1

I don't watch youtube, sorry.

I'm probably not the atheist you are addressing anyway.

Answer 2

Started off interesting, but I couldn't stand that bloody chanting.

Answer 3

Interesting. But what do atheists have to do with it.  

Answer 4

"In Hinduism, the age of the universe is 19,252 bn years".

Well, doesn't that pretty much make Hinduism wrong, since it's only really 13,7 bn y-o here. In fact, modern science tells us the age of the universe depends on the place you measure it in so there's no one "age of the universe". That too makes Hinduism wrong in this statement.

It's more right that say, Christianity but less so than "No religion".

Isn't it also quite preposterous to postulate all of those statements in the video, with NO evidence whatsoever?

Answer 5

I asked a christian if it was wrong to learn about geology, he was like, 'Umhumhumh...' and avoided the answer.

Answer 6

Since it was all in the Sumerian Tablets a few thousand years before Hindu became a religion it is not surprising that they used excellent material for their works also.
