An excellent video. Aron's primary theme is that the positions held by those in any debate on the subject are incompatible, in that "faith is an irrational position" and that "a rational person believes only what is indicated, and they're tentative even then", therefore nothing can be accomplished by such a venture.
"...they (rational people) may not believe everything completely...so we consider other options where there is uncertainty...rational people understand that what they believe is not a matter of choice, but we accept what the evidence compels us to believe, and our minds will obligately change according to our understanding of the facts."
Whereas "faith is the very opposite of that being an assertion of ~ an unwarranted assertion of unreasonable conviction assumed without reason and defended against all reason. It is unwise to believe anything without reservation, without question or without reason, but faith demands all three of these things at once, and that is irrational by definition". He identifies many of the techniques one will face in such a debate scenario such as the use of false dichotomies, arguments from ignorance and authority, goal post shifts and gish gallops, among others.
I did laugh at how, in debate, he has "to disprove every empty unsupported absurdity that every idiot ever hallucinated". My experience with creationists (especially the 'Answers in Genesis' apologists) is quite similar in that many of the publicly vociferous are intellectually dishonest by employing many of the techniques he relates (especially the constant goal post shifting, reversal of the burden of proof, the use of the non sequitur, etc.).
