BILL NYE VS KEN HAM: TONIGHT AT 7 PM

[pineapplebunnybounce]

Ham is completely breaking down during the answer questions phase. All he has said from the beginning is that everything is because the bible says so. Not even a pseudoscientific fact/argument. At least try, it's more entertaining that way.

Gotta run! Thanksk for the good time guys (and gals) I'll be back!

Ham choked on the question of what would it take to convince him he was wrong, from an audience member. And with that, the seed of doubt is sown.

I just had an idea about what would go a long way in burying this creationist bullshit. I would watch a debate between Ham and let's say William Lane Craig or a scientist from the Vatican regarding creationsim.

Yea that was a huge fail. I think even when he referred everyone to check out the bible for an explanation of how consciousness came from matter he lost credibility. A lot of creationist seem to think that there is evidence for what they believe in, it's just "covered up".

When Ham said that there are parts of the bible that are meant to be literal and other bits that are just poetry, I wanted Nye to ask him how he could tell which bits are meant to be which. He did tease him for a while but then let him off the hook.

I found it striking that Ham essentially claimed that we can disregard Israelite law, a purely human activity despite the claim that some of it came from God, but that the ideas of creation of these same people is somehow unassailable.

Basically Ham thinks that the earth works in his own way because he says so, the bible means what he means because he says so.

Seriously? People gave this dude money to build a creationist museum?

I liked how Ham claimed that the Bible condemns polygamy and that the early Israelites were sinning in embracing it.

So why does the Bible contain rules for polygamy? Divine regulation would imply tacit approval of the practice.
