I would say he needs to supply some of his articles or sources where he looked at. Not just "well I looked and I couldn't find it"
He needs to say I looked here and here and here. Supply the sources, then supply a logical argument.
In the case of the coin.
The data from this video shows 500 coin flips, all coming up heads.
The odds of a single coin(assuming it is a standard issue coin that has both heads and tails) flip coming up heads is 1/2.
We know that each subsequent coin flip is also 1/2.
Therefore the odds of all 500 coin flips coming up heads is (1/2)^500, or a really small number.
The odds of getting 500 heads in a row is such a small chance that this makes me believe that there is no tails on this coin.
He can't just say "prove me wrong" the burden of proof is on you now.
