NephilimFree Self-Pwnage

My eyeballs and brain hurt from watching 1.5 hours of NephilimFree's abject stupidity.  Here are just three of the dozens of factual mistakes I picked up on.  It must take a considerable amount of effort for someone to remain so ignorant of a topic.

This video was thrown together quickly.  I've been out of town, at a conference with actual scientists.  The shock of explaining Genetics 101 to a moron was a bit harsh.

If I made factual errors, feel free to correct me.
