What does that mean?

It means that watching a video hardly qualifies you to sit in judgment of the alleged 'controversy' (which exists only in the popular culture, not within the scientific discourse). That might come across as a bit harsh, but it's true. Thousands of scientists who devote their careers to the study of biology and medicine have seen the evidence and reached an undeniable consensus. Why? Did they just miss 'the video'?

That ID video you watched probably gave you the sum total there is worth saying about ID, not counting the time spent on nonsense rhetoric and fallacies designed to distort and mislead. Put that up against the sum total of research supporting evolution - the vast mountains of confirmation supporting evolution - and then make an assessment. The evidence for evolution is more than the dozen pages of dumbed-down text that the average person might have vaguely paid attention to in HS sophomore bio class..

BTW, my main point is that if you are serious about objectively weighing ID and evolution, then actually weigh ID and evolution. In other words, go find a video on evolution and compare that with your ID video. Better yet, go find a couple dozen videos focusing on different aspects of evolution, since that would be a better approximation of the relative evidence.
