I watched about 2 minutes of this. When he said "They [i.e., non-YECs, including explicitly "theistic evolutionists"] believe that stars evolved by natural processes: God did not create them" I turned it off. Life's too short.

Subject: [asa] Mike Riddle's YEC astrophysics video
Take a look at http://www.nwcreation.net/videos/astronomy_and_bible.html , a higher quality video is given on a link. Mike Riddle, who I have met and doesn't have any qualifications in astronomy or astrophysics, as far as I know, gives his YEC perspective on astrophysics.
The video is loaded with the usual inaccuracies etc. but what is a very common theme in YEC apologetics is bringing up problems, some real or have been solved, that astrophysics cannot explain, but a YEC never brings up an alternative explanation, e.g. even if the physics of star formation is not fully understood, YECs never bring up an alternative model that explains star formation, other than the cop-out that God did it. Do YECs want to reduce the whole field of astrophysics to the God-did-it cop-out? I wonder what a YEC textbook on astrophysics would look like!
