3. My concern with this young woman is...

that she has put herself out there on Youtube with these rather limiting beliefs.

Does her devout religion help her get a job when this is out there? Will she find herself a victim of her beliefs? Is she really trying to challenge her beliefs, or is she just spending her free time on Youtube because she cannot get a date with her opinionated attitude toward science?

I am sorry someone is so crippled by their religious beliefs that she limits her ability to spread her wings and fly into a career, a life of intellectual challenges. I see this woman as an example of the harm some religions can do to a bright mind. I say "bright mind" because this young woman is capable of serious intellectual challenges, she is articulate, self-assured, and in some ways, endearing. BUT, her religious beliefs are handicapping her future. I am so sorry to see this in young people in the USA.
