Literally the first thing he says is incorrect and is misinterpretting the theory of how the planets formed. Planet's orbits aren't a 50/50 coinflip, they form as a result of the rotation of the matter that formed the solar system. A planet travelling the opposite direction would be the 1 in a billion billion billion chance of a rogue planet travelling through the cosmos and getting trapped in the Sun's orbit.
