Thoughts on Bill Nye vs Ken Ham?
Just about to watch it but want to check what you guys thought about it!

While Ken Ham's point is obviously wrong, Bill Nye completely fails to address Ken's arguments. It therefore appears that Ken won the debate. Bill did a disservice for science.

It plays out just like every science vs religion debate in the history of the universe

>ham makes some stupid claim
>nye refutes it
>but muh bible says 'blank'
>nye presses for evidence
>muh faith

Repeat x 90 mins

The problem with this debate is that Nye did not refute Ham's claims even though they were easily refutable. But instead Nye made himself look like an idiot.

I would just like to take this small moment to remind you all that the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church has had no problem with evolution from the day Darwin published his book, and continues to pump cleric scientists out of her seminaries who actively argue against creationism and for chemical evolution, micro evolution and macro evolution. That is all Continue on

The Catholic Church still believes in saints with magic powers, stigmata, self-inflicted pain for penance, rectification of body parts, indulgences, trans-substantiation, exorcism, papal infallibility, and other wacko bullshit.

Thank you for that clarification.
I had horrible images of dismembered sections of human bodies being shoved unceremoniously into rearward facing orifices.

just inconsistent with all verifiable observation

>> No.7050303

My perception of the debate was that Nye won by a landslide. But that's if you follow the rules of logic and reasoning.
That and the fact that the entire audience was clearly in Ham's camp makes it seem like they were even-footed but they clearly were not.

Is there any mistake Nye made?

Ok, since you've said this twice now, what claims are you referring too that Nye didn't refute?

Reminds me of the science vs religion debate after Charles Darwin Origin of Species gained ground.

The whole thing was a publicity stunt funded by some "creationist museum". It was a fucking joke.
