There is as much there as you want to watch. Even in his short clips, he gets to the point and destroys all the creationist arguments. However, Nutting (the name fits, doesn't it?) is probably like the rest of the bunch, talking quickly and blustering their way through with half truth and all sort of logical errors. The best way to counteract them is to have them stop and explain in detail -- they can't do it.
