Response To A Child Of God

Casually browsing YouTube, I came across a video of a young girl talking about GodAndJesus. I put the words “God and Jesus” together because throughout the video she says both names as if they were fused together.
The title of the video is “Wise child explains how dumb evolution is.” Of course, she never actually refutes evolution at all. She just talks about GodAndJesus.
The subtitles of the video say that she is smarter than any atheist. In terms of her knowledge of how the earth was created? Can she actually explain how scientist date fossils? Her only reference is a single book; how many theories has she tested herself? Here is the video:
The only positive moment in the video is when the girl seems to have a bit of doubt in questioning why hell can be all black yet full of fire. As she rightly questions: “wouldn’t the fire create light?” Answering her own question, she says “Basically I think that means it’s really hot, but it’s really dark too.” In fact, throughout this video she constantly says she’s been told, she thinks she knows, or that it’s only a possibility regarding the facts she mentions. Children can seem like they were truly and divinely touched by a superior being; they’ve been told amazing stories by the people they trust.
I’m sure there is more I can say, but I’ve lost focus since Rick Astley just bust out of the Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends Thanksgiving Day Parade float, and began singing “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Wow… what a spectacle!
