In the video, the presenter, Pakistani American Christian apologist Nabeel Qureshi, goes through Dr Zakir’s talk and highlights what he said were the factual errors.
These included using wrong names for people and places, stating that Homo sapiens were extinct, as well as referring to scientific experts who do not appear to exist.
The video has been shared 1,337 times with 121 comments and 387 likes as of 10.50pm on Monday.
Dr Zakir has been in the spotlight recently after Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi confirmed that the controversial preacher was given PR status about five years ago.
Dr Zakir's Islamic Research Foundation has been declared an unlawful organisation by the Indian government.
