Yes. It's a phrase coined by the kind of people who think 'smart' is derogatory...
A group you apparently belong to.
Like you, in other words.

an exact match.
It's basically the lowest level of formal schooling in the UK.
[Pre School] - Doubles as daycare nursery.
Infant School - Starts from age 4 now I think.
Junior School - Ends age 11
[Prep School] - Usually 11 to 13
Senior School - Ages 11 to 18
[6th Form collage] - Ages 16 to 18
University - 18+

Do you disagree?
" Did I say anything about, the reason we believe in creation is because the Bible says so ? .... I think we ought to teach the evidence [of a beginning to the universe ] and let the chips fall where they may. " Dr. Frank Turek.
The last statement of the video.

The question was answered. What do you want from me?
Watch the whole thing ?
Or just dip your toe in the water to test the temperature ?
I will watch the whole of any rebuttal you think is effective, of comparable length from start to end, if you watch that video completely to the end. No cheating.
Deal ?
