My comment on his video:

JP:  How did you resolve things like:
1, There are 4 blood types: A, B, AB, and O.  It's impossible to get 4 blood types from Adam and Eve, so explain the 4 blood types?
2. In Genesis 1:26, it says, "Let us make man in our own image."  This is before "Jesus" so who is US and OUR?
3. How did Noah get animals on his ark that were not indigenous to his area, such as sea lions, polar bears, and penguins?
4. How do you justify "Jesus" when there were AT LEAST 9 other deities who preceded him that shared similar stories (the latest being Mithra) e.g. born to a virgin on December 25th, had 12 disciples, died on a cross, resurrected after 3 days, etc...  How many times can we be told the same story and be gullible enough to believe that THIS TIME, it's real?
I like what Jordan Maxwell has to say about religion: It's the greatest STORY ever told.
The bible tells a tale of astrotheology thru metaphor that goes from the golden calf that introduced the Age of Taurus, the blowing of the ram's horn, which introduced the Age of Aries, Jesus feeding the masses with 2 fish, which introduced the Age of Pisces, to the current Age of Aquarius, where Jesus said to follow the man carrying the pitcher of water.
It's all mataphor with hundreds of contradictions. How do you justify those contradictions?
Personally, I believe in an all-loving Creator and the power of positive thoughts and intentions.  Feel free to call that prayer, but it seems that religion uses the same template as every government: subservience, control, and conformity. 
I'm not good at conformity, especially to something that has questions that can't be answered about its origins and the contradictions that its teachings offer.
In my opinion, ALL religious texts should be four words long: Love everyone, respect everything.
Peace, JP.

1- seriously? Better revisit your genotypes and punnet squares.

2- Jesus was around, as the eternal Son and Logos.

3- There was one land mass, and less speciation.  Study baraminology.

4- You clearly do not understand the true historical context, or choose to not believe.
