I appreciate your concern that my effort is somehow futile, but, like I said at the beginning of the video, this particular subject(theory selection) is one that I already find interesting.

If pointing out that you already have done so is not good enough for the Christian, then explain "yes, thats a very interesting theory. A corollary is that one cannot respond to a situation without first knowing its creator, no matter how imminent the threat." Proceed to secretly play pranks and lay traps for the Christian. Die happy. QED

The better route is to attack the foundation of Christian argument, which is that nothing can exist without a creator, and as such, nothing can be understood without first understanding its creator. I have a rock, its hard, but with enough force and it can be broken, and with enough heat, it can be melted. A Christian would retort that one can't say such things without first understanding the creator of the rock.

ok, it sounds like you are refuting this Christian argument by examining the consistency of the Christian argument. I disagree with this route. There are Christians which seem to be good at spinning unending bs to explain the consistency of the bible. Thusly, if you choose this route, your work will never be done.
