New form of Creationist Censorship. (Help is appreciated)
Playlist of videos that were attacked:

Creationists have apparently created a bot that hits opposing videos with 80+ 1-star ratings in a very short amount of time. This bot hit this channel HARD several months ago. I didn’t make a video response about this back then for various. However, I recently learned that this bot is *STILL* hitting videos.

Thus, it’s likely that inaction, in this case, would mean capitulation!
The star rating have a huge impact on the visibility of YT videos by affecting their appearance on searches, recommended videos and related videos. Therefore, artificially hitting a video with 80+ or some odd stars is a form of censorship. This is completely in-line with previous creationist tactics, which include not only censorship on their own channels, but false DMCAs, flagging campaigns and mass-down-voting of comments.
Voting 5 to the affected videos would be very much appreciated. Also, please keep in mind that a major component of this channel is to encourage open discussion and dialog. This seems to be something that creationists don’t want. By repairing this damage you are allowing the conversation to continue!
Thank you. Sincerely.

Here are two smaller channels that were pretty much crippled by this bot. Please give them a hand as well.
