A lot of unfalsifiable claims in this video that are presented as factual and scientific. But if you can't falsify the claim, that's the literal definition of pseudoscience. If he wants to put his faith in this *theory*, fine. But don't pretend to know something with certainty simply because "scientists are really good at their job".

  Gee, that's original — nobody's ever tried that joke before.

  "The universe, scientists know, is 13,799 million years old. Give or take only 21 million years. Now scientists are good at what they do because that's *very* accurate"........ Look, you don't have to be a creationist to know that having that level of confidence is intellectually dishonest. He admits there's a lot they don't know about the formation of the universe. I'm sure they base that estimate on an analysis of the number of red-shifting and blue-shifting stars and galaxies. But that's still just a theory and it makes a lot of assumptions. Theories are scientific — but positioning a theory as an unfalsifiable fact is pseudoscience.
