I wonder why so many people gave negative feedback. Could any of them write a comment to explain it?

I don't want to start a riot or something but maybe some creationists?

It doesn't make sense to me... Don't creationists believe that the big bang was created as opposed to being due to chance? I don't see what in this video could be against their beleifs... or non creationists' for that matter. So yes, it would be interesting to know why there is son many negative feedback...

A fact that astounded me more than this is that there are more stars in the universe than gains of sand on Earth.

A fact that astounded me more than this is that people counted all of the stars and all of the grains of sand, NOT, you genius. A fact is something that can be proven and no one has counted all the gains of sand or stars. How can you be smart and thing that you came from a sun? that's obviously not a fact, because no one has seen or gotten to the inside of a star

Hey genius, maybe if you did some research like the incredibly clever people that figure out this stuff, you'd know that the 'sun' is the star at the center of the solar system. All the atoms in our body came from stars and supernovas. It doesn't matter if YOU don't understand it or that YOU don't understand why this makes sense.

"So let's do some simple math. A sand grain is defined as having a range of sizes, but 1mm diameter is typical. So for simplicity let's use that size. The earth has an average radius of 6371km. This gives the earth a surface area of 1.28 times 10^14 square millimeters of surface area. There are 7 times 10^22 stars. Divide this by the surface area of the earth and we learn how deep the sand across the entire earth would have to be to equal the number of stars. The depth is 550km."

the down votes come mostly from the idiots that reject scientific facts and discovery...creationists (christians, muslims, jews, etc etc.)

Western civilizations are individualistic societies. Eastern tend to be collectivist societies. Each have their advantages and their draw backs. What seems an obvious drawback in these comments is the cognitive biases brought on by individualists. The most common cognitive bias here is the Fundamental attribution error. What many Darwinian believers don't understand is that many religious academics learn both what Darwinism teaches, and more science beyond that that shows Darwinism is a religion and it's dead. Physics, or physical law science, has proven the Big Bang theory and Darwinism are fundamentals to a faith, or religion called evolutionism in so-called science books, and should go to Comedy Central where it belongs. Studies of explosions show that objects rarely survive explosions in a spherical shape. Also, given a sector, pie shaped section starting at apex of explosion, all debris spins in one direction. Several of the planets in just our own solar system have moons that rotate in opposite directions. We don't have to point the telescopes very far to understand that Darwinism and the Big Bang are both dead. Most in science community understand that the sun is one big ball of gases. It stands to reason, but no one really knows. Some would suggest that it's energy originates as fusion, though most don't understand fusion. Many scientists egotistically deal with the ambiguous and tell us that we just have to trust them. If our solar system is billions of years old, and life on earth is supposed to have begun, in evolutionary theory, about 400 million yrs ago, then we have to assume that the sun has not changed its mass much over that span of time. So, how big was the sun a billion yrs ago? How big was the sun 400 million yrs ago? Gravitational force is still a theory and unexplained by science. Given the sun's mass a billion yrs ago, and its gravitational forces, which would have to be much stronger, did Mercury's path around the sun have a larger path? Earth's? Given the sun's loss of mass, how could it have pulled these planets closer to it, even to sustain life on earth at its precarious variance of even 200 degrees F? Mercury's surface changes by 10,000's of degrees F everyday... Simple amebic life is unsustainable even in a variance of 1000 degrees, but we are to just believe that it not only spontaniously spawned, but that the earth's surface didn't change much? Religions dictate that there is a Creator. Darwinism dictates that there isn't. Neither are proved, or provable by science. Both are of faith. Both are a religion. Only one religion is allowed to be heard from in academia. The idiot is one who isolates oneself from all view points that don't agree with their religion. Being a Christian, I know that christian life is more of a collectivist society, rather than an individualist one. Also, Christians and/or conservatives want to hear both sides, and then they decide. It's a behavior much different from most sections of science and "news" channels like MSNBC. It stands to reason that so many would click the "Down" button and not leave a comment, because those that understand why, people like them already know why, but those that don't will continue not to understand, because they refuse to acknowledge facts that counter their religion. You may think that you have scientific facts that counter a Creationist's understanding, and laugh ignorantly to yourself. But, then you will never understand the purpose of life, because you think that you have a fact scientifically that proves otherwise. Until the phenomena is exposed to both religion's science, you will always live ignorantly in your errogance.

Unfortunately, your arguments are completely wrong. Darwinism is not a religion, it is a school of thought based on facts. Facts, that have been proven over and over again. Darwinism does not prove that there is no creator, it simply states how and why species evolve. It is impossible to prove that something does not exist. The information in this video has been known for quite a while. Fusion occurs in stars, that is why they are so hot and bright. First, they fuse hydrogen atoms, these then become helium atoms and when helium atoms fuse we get heaver atoms and so on and so on. Unfortunately, we do know the sun is made of gases. All that we have to do is read the light that it is sending out. Read a book about this, it is basic chemistry/physics. Don't post misinformation that you read on some christian website.
