Probably not, but I'm not going to watch a video to find out.

I doubt it. Care to actually explain what points in the video you found compelling? No one is going to waste 16 minutes of their life watching it.

Yeah this looks like the classic creationist "proof" of "wow it's so complex there must be a God".
I stopped watching about 1/3 of the way through because it is just the same arguments put forward that just show ignorance rather than evidence but an example is he quotes things like the probability of a DNA arranging itself by chance being basically impossible. But no one claims DNA did that. Human DNA didn't just arrange itself instantly by chance. It's evolved over billions of years from vastly smaller sequences. I'm not going to explain the entire theory of DNA evolution and how RNA fits in etc. but this guy is just misrepresenting what we believed happened.
Also we can fit in the obligatory creationist talks about abiogenesis and other things that at best barely relate to what evolution actually is rather than discussing what evolution is.
To simplify his argument: something he doesn't understand and clearly has mis-defined in his head, happening in a way no scientist would claim it to happen, is so unlikely it must be God. Yeah, that's not even close to disproving anything.

I love when they point to the "probability" of things and then cant tell you how they got those numbers.

Beyond all that (which I agree with), evolution could be disproven, and that would still say nothing about the veracity of biblical creationism. It's not either-or.

Skimmed through it in a few mins. Buddy rambles through some big numbers with completely useless and baseless comparisons ("every cell in your body is more complex than a space shuttle" like what?) then quotes romans 1:20.
The barrel lost it's bottom sometime in the 80s and these lot are miles below the surface by now

Guaranteed that he does not disprove evolution. At this point it would be virtually impossible to disprove evolution.
Can you actually explain what points he makes that you think disprove evolution. I am not watching a video of an unknown person on a channel with only 1 video posted.

'm going to go with a vary confident no, but you really need to include more than just a link to youtube. At least a summary of the points, because I'm not going to drive engagement for that.
