Bill Nye to debate some Creationism dude live tonight

Ken Ham basically just using a moment when claiming the bible is truth to remind us all that that truth means "GAYS ARE EVIL!"

Ham is already commiting ad ignorantiam. can't do that when arguing for the case of God. Anyone can dismiss that easily.

Ken Ham, Rustler of Jimmies.

I dislike the idea of giving Creationism a platform to espouse it's lies within the realm of a formal debate. Unless of course Nye has some dirty tricks planned to make Ham look like a fool.

Ugh. Bill isn't doing to well either.

The Seahawks win was pretty gratifying

Bills seems to be having an off night

Wow tough crowd

They are at the creationism museum. I'd be very surprised if Ken didn't fill the room with supporters.

What are you talking about bill for fucks sake

I'm not watching this but it sounds like it's just as pointless as an internet religion debate

I think he's taking Ken Ham's points/beliefs and then showing how they can't be true. Rather than just giving a full presentation on evolution. Although it sounds like he is having a hard time taking some things seriously

yes, in the end I doubt he will convince Ken Ham or any of the people at the creation museum

Nye is hogging the debate right now... :(

It seems like Bill Nye is having a hard time not breaking out in laughter

...and he might do a bit better if he didn't so obviously say that all the people there and the surrounding areas are a bunch of fucking idiots

at least people are clapping

You should come to texas, apostle

Literally turned it off and fell asleep for a little bit lol looks like it's not as interesting as I imagined :(

Huh? They both got 30 minutes to talk. Ken Ham already did his long bit.

Thanks for the overhype tc

I like that ken is actually addressing stuff now instead of saying you can't do that and leaving it at that

...holy shit, is that guy serious?

Too bad I missed his then. >_>

Why is he pointing out inconsistencies in the bible as word and the evidence science gives

Wait, did this Ken guy in his counter argument discount evidence because God said otherwise???

@ssvegeta555: it seems so

Yeah, I can see all living things being vegetarians before the fall but not the flood.

uh pretty much

It seems like Bill Nye is almost personally offended by the things Ken Ham says. And is having hard time not saying it's just a load of bullshit

Because he is a Creationist or he's trolling

I honestly considered taking a day off work and driving down to view this debate in person.

It just seemed like he had a moment where he just refuted his own points

Ham's complete misunderstanding of the science of tectonics is even more laughable than his lack of understanding of evolution.

Shit doesn't move on the surface of the Earth? Then what the **** causes earthquakes? Jesus bowling?

Trees under basalt? EVOLUTION ISN'T TRUE!

I'm only at the 30 minute mark where are you and who's talking?

It's part of Ken's rebuttal after Nye speaks for his 30 mins

"Our research." How cute.

The biggest copout argument ever:

"You weren't there to witness it happen, so it cannot be true".

I didn't see you born Ken, so how are you here? How about that Holocaust? We weren't there to see it happen, so it must not have happened.

The whole Noah and his boat thing seems like such a weak point

Yeah, that statement just sucked...

His entire argument seems to be "well none of us were there so my point is just as valid!"

even though he lacks any real evidence, and when he faces evidence that disproves his model all he can say is "you weren't there, maybe things were different"

As a scientist this frustrates me to all hell (seems like it frustrates bill nye as well).

Doubt I can watch much more of this

I can't watch much more either. Nye clearly won the debate. :(

Honestly, what did you expect

Why are you people even watching this?

I thought Ham would make less statements that would make me sick.

@chessmaster1989: it's a Tuesday night

entertainment purposes

Why the hell does he keep saying we can't investigate the past using observational science. Doesn't things that happen in the past leave traces of themselves that can be observed and studied? God Ken is a freaking moron.

Whenever he talks, it makes my head hurt, along with a burning hot rage

Yeah, but you weren't there. Maybe the laws of nature were different back then

I'm not sure. He needs to come up with something better because it clearly isn't working.

Yeah the constant you can't observe the past stuff is annoying
