I have spent half my week end on youtube looking for video on critical thinking. And then it hits me like a ton of bricks : all the video I was watching were from atheist or skeptic ! I tried to search more but found none. This is surprising to me. I would have expected a lot more video from theist on critical thinking. I found none. I am pretty sure there is a good , if not identical, proportion of theist which indeed do think criticaly like atheist, or like skeptic , even if they do compartementalize (that is matter for another thread). The few I saw were actually only video answers to a skeptic or atheist video.

Maybe I missed them ? Post your link below then !

And if you have none too, why do you think so few video on critical thinking are done by theist ? I mean I would not expect non-skeptic to post such video, but why seemingly not the theists ?
 
Well, I know there are Christian apologists who seem intelligent and thoughtful, even though I don't agree with their conclusions.
If you are specifically searching for "theist" apologetics, that's more general but perhaps a bit more rare.
Most apologists espouse a particular creed or specific religion. For instance, there's a microbiologist who worked on the Human Genome Project who is also an Evangelical Christian. I've heard him interviewed and he's certainly no dummy.
"Theist" is just a term for someone who believes in some sort of god.
Could be that YouTube is not the best place to look for such material. As to why atheists and skeptics use the service to post things...May be due to the fact that such views are not popular in more mainstream media, and they feel YouTube is a free forum of sorts.
