How impossibly wrong can you be? All of the objections raised have been more than adequately answered. Evolution is NOT random chance. It is just willful ignorance to believe such a thing.
This man talks about being intellectually honest and it is clear that he has not taken the time to educate himself about the basic fundamentals of modern science.
As for morality, the same objection applies. Educate yourself on the current research on the topic. There is an evolutionary answer for "why be moral?". Why is such nonsense allowed to be posted here?

He states that atheists are not "intellectually honest".
I guess the irony of that statement is totally over his head.

Take your example of your watch being shaken in a bag and apply that to the beginning of the universe. Most creationists use this "random lottery" theory to dispute evolution but they don't understand probability. If you have trillions of watches in trillions of bags all shaking for trillions of years, the probability of one of those becoming a watch is very high. Replace those watches with planets and those bags with solar systems. The probability of one of those planets having the right amount of certain chemicals to sustain life is high. This fact that earth harbors life doesn't prove the existence of God, it only brings more questions. Like, what is his plan for the trillions of other planets that are barren? Christians will tell you that god created the sun of these solar systems just to light up our night sky but what about the planets? God's ignored projects or planets that formed without the elements to sustain life, what's your view?
