I would agree here. I also think his language is less geared towards trying to convert Bible Thumpers and more to help the internet-aged children understand evolution and the history of science in general. If he takes some Bible Thumpers' kids out of their indoctrination it's just more win.
Either way, can you evangelize the truth? I think the biggest point he is trying to get across is that there's not really an argument here. This is how things were/are. I also hear that a lot of stations re-edited the show to remove/clean-up parts involving the history on the supression of science in the first episode.
