I saw this, what a sham.
The branches of the evolutionary tree or as he insists to call them....the 'kinds' ......never cross over, a branch never hops over to become a different Branch... Branches originate in a common ancestor, his question is back to front, the people he asked answered correctly not knowing his biblical term for kind.
In biology we seperare by species, this we determine when dna changes so much that species A and B no longer can procreate together as their dna is so different.
There are no cats that become dogs or such like. Ray comfort is A deceitful man. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALL THE EDITED OUT FOOTAGE TOO!

I was debating a creatard on a facebook site I moderate and all he kept asking was
" Can you give me ONE evidence of Darwinian Evolution? One kind developing into another?" - as if the idea of the croco-duck really could exist by evolutionary adaption. These people do not understand the theory and ask those that do meaningless questions based on fallacious asssumptions and think they have won a victory when we don't answer them?

I saw the thread title and thought "No contest". The two have nothing to do with eachother.The wrong headedness of your protaganist on FB, Cantleave, is just so obvious once even basic Critical Thinking skills have been acquired.
If Evolution is totally wrong, it does not prove the existence of God.
Evolution is as much a fact as the shape of the Earth being an Oblate Spheroid, or "round" to us simpletons, as much a fact as Gravity.
To make a video about what is probably the most firmly established of scientific truths "versus" an imaginary fictional figure is to really waste time, time that these no-nothings could better use learning some truth.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; Faith is the BIGGEST excuse for ignorance. Faith is not a reason to believe something is true, it's the exact opposite, the lack of a valid reason to believe.
If all you've got is faith, you've got nothing.

"Plate tectonics is clearly a matter of faith.
Surely, there is 'micromovement' in which tectonic plates move a few centimeters every now and then, but the movement of the plate is constrained by Gods grand design of earths surface, and science has never observed two plates move very far like plate tectonic postulate, let alone one plate breaking up and becoming two completely new plates. Therefore we can safely reject that silly idea".

Richard Dawkins has it right in the opening quote of the video, as far as Perry is concerned.
"Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence."I know, I know. Perry thinks he is evaluating evidence by feeding himself on this junk.
Evolution is not believed to be something magic that turns dinosaurs into birds, apes into humans, and amphibious mammals into whales. Oversimplification allows people like Perry to just dismiss it. It's a shame he traded one set of false ideas in for another.
While many evolutionists are atheists, it isn't even a matter of one vs. the other. You can retain your belief in God and still stop denying the clear evidence of evolution.
Ray Comfort clearly uses flawed reasoning to dismiss "evidence" and if you want to use the same flawed reasoning applied to faith, faith would not stand up either. Believers like Perry (and Ray Comfort) love to make evolution into a "belief" which needs faith. It is a following of evidence- a proper following of evidence.
Ray likes to throw the term "observable evidence" out there as an automatic dismissal of evolution. Well, have Jesus call me and give me some observable evidence as to why I should put faith in him. I am waiting.

Perry, did you like the Wt's Evolution Book and its anti evolution arguments.
