An atheist activist with no publication history and "does" neither biology or chemistry, nor has a degree in biochemistry, claims James Tour is "clueless".
I suspected Dave Farina was "Dave Horn", a poster in the early days of talk.origins, so I dug a little.
"Farina, who taught in high school and undergraduate classrooms for 10 years before turning into a YouTuber, received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Minnesota’s Carleton College and a master’s in chemistry and science education at California State University. "
"His career included a full-time position teaching chemistry, biology, and physics at a private school in Hollywood, and substitute teaching in the San Francisco Bay Area, before transitioning to lecturing at a trade university."
"Coming out of undergrad, I started grad school, and so there I would TA and tutor."
"I was teaching organic chemistry at this trade university"
Add that to his account here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZMeuWh6eQM
"I graduated high school in 2001."
"all through college all I wanted to do was play drums in bands."
" I somehow also managed to get a chemistry degree during that time"
"in 2005 I moved to Santa Cruz... I sort of stumbled through two semesters of grad school ... so I immediately quit school"
'joined another band called The Lonely Wild in 2012"
"2012 to 2015 we were on the road all the time, coast-to-coast, almost every state. "
" actually one of the reasons I lost my organic chemistry teaching job, I kept
skipping out on responsibilities like faculty meetings"
"the whole thing fizzled out. so 2016 was a little bit of a depressing "
This doesn't sound like Dave Horn.

I guess I pictured Dave Horn as being an old man, who would now be ancient.
One of the more obnoxious types, like Harry Krishna.

He often made contradictory claims about himself. I'm certain he was in his early 20s when posting in the early 2000s. And he appeared to also post as "David Sienkiewicz". It is still possible that Farina was "Horn". Horn claimed to be a science tutor in southern California, the same location as Farina speaks of being, at around the same time. And "Horn" disappeared shortly after the incident with a poster in San Diego.

Some of the old posts still exist. Horn claimed to be a Major in the Army. I checked, no Horn. Sienkiewicz claimed to be a lawyer practicing in CA. I checked, no Sienkiewicz.
"Readers can easily see the ip of the two posters Horn and Sienkiewicz
being the same:
68.107.47.27 "

That's because you didn't even look at the videos. That makes you one

You're entitled to your own opinions.
You're not entitled to your own facts.
