In proper grammatical English, the noun located nearest the pronoun (prior to it) is assumed to be the antecedent. The noun nearest my pronoun is “Flock of Dodo’s” … and as we know from Randy’s film, flocks of dodo’s are anti-science pieces of dreck.

It is an anti science piece of dreck.

Pronoun antecedent: ambiguous.”…watch Randy Olson’s Flock of Dodos. It is an anti science piece of dreck.”

No one is going to buy it, a handful of people might read it, but it won’t be effective because it’ll simply fizzle out and generally be forgotten. There are plenty of books that have been written in recent years with the aim of refuting creationism, but in general they seem to have little effect. We might know about them and read them, but the people who should be generally don’t.
