Bill Nye vs Ken Ham creationism/evolution debate

[Sho]

I still do not understand how the bible can be trusted even in his eyes? Really it was written by man. MAN wrote it, MAN, MAN,MAN.



and yes, let us not forget the Q and A. "outside the Law of..." Really? if not for the law what can you prove? lol got to love that shit.

Indeed. It was more or less him eloquently circling around the same three notions of Science taking away from the core concepts of Christianity. And the fact that not being alive at a certain time period pretty much "locks us out" from understanding how something should work. It made me shutter at the simple fact that the man could even be a man of science as well, at all. Deep down he should know that he's lying to himself if he truly believes himself a man of science.

[Moss]

Probably because his only stance is "it's in the bible".

I just finished this myself. I learned a few things from Nye. Cool shit.

I liked his clarification of "Survival of the Fittest" meaning the best fit in the environment, not necessarily the strongest or smartest.

And then Ham's immediate response which showed that he either wasn't listening or was intentionally misrepresenting what Nye had just said.

[RedRed]

it's just incompatible with an interpretation of the Bible that holds steadfastly to the idea that the Earth is only a few thousand years old and that Noah literally took of every animal onto a giant boat for a flood that covered the entire surface of the world.

It's funny how people believe this, if the water covered everything, where did it go?

[Ksandra]

Well if you are going to believe God can flood the whole Earth, why wouldn't you believe He put it all back afterwards?

(<-not a creationist mind you, but ya.)

[Waraji]

Although, if you think that the story of the flooding is that convoluted, I wouldn't suggest looking up the answer to your question.

I have, and... yeah don't.

[Rhyis.]

Maybe the trees were on stilts too.

This is becoming more plausible by the seconds. I should write my own bible.

it worked for the council of niccea.

[BaneTheBrawler]

you guys should ask a jehovahs witness about noah's flood sometime, it's funny.

Every time Ham mentioned people being "indoctrinated by science" I wanted to stab someone in the throat. I was never forced to go to a special building and spend hours in a special class every sunday for weeks to learn about science when I was a kid. Hell, if I was I probably would've enjoyed it more.

Pretty sure I spent monday through friday an hour a day for weeks to learn about science when I was a kid.


Don't get me wrong the phrase "indoctrinated by science" IS stupid...just I found your comment hilarious.

I would give my left testicle to attend a weekly science lecture by Feynman or to a lesser extent NDT*. I don't know of many people who could say the same for attending a church with any popular pastor or minister.

*StarTalk radio doesn't count.

[wipers]

Science they still teach that ? I thought due to budget cuts they eliminated it.

Polar Ice Caps?

Science is one of the core classes. Safer than most!

If substitute teaching has taught me anything, it's that kids get a lot of MythBusters exposure.


I am Ok with that.

You don't hang around many young adult modern Christian worship group members. Lucky.

IHOP

.....gdi, didn't even think of that.

(they still didn't talk much about evolution)

[Jefe]

Not a priest/reverend, but I wouldn't mind kicking it w/ Elliott tbqh.

[Aragon of Odin]

I guess not a Preist/Pastor/Reverend either, but I'd kick it with God for a day given the chance
