The Great Debate.

[pocaracas]

The difference is, Nye, being an actual scientist, is going to be limited to actual truthful statements, while his opponent will be free to bullshit
Nye: "I base my ideas about the universe on the things I actually see in it."
Other: "Do you know exactly what caused everything to exist?"
Nye: "Of course not. This is a very difficult subject, and we need much more information before we will be able to answer this question."
Other: "Oh then you cannot absolutely disprove the Bible's accounts. . ."
Nye: "The Biblical account seems very unlikely for reasons 1, 2 and 3."
Other: "Were you there?"
Nye: "No, of course not. I'm not 14 billion years old."
Other: "Well, then. . . ahrrrmm. . . it sounds like you're just making stuff up."
Nye: *gurgling in rage* "Arrrghh. . . are you freaking kidding me?" *Goes full nerd rage, discrediting himself in the eyes of "rational" Christians *

Well you almost cannot win with those types of Christians. If something sounds a little counterintuitive then it doesn't make sense, try to go into details and it gets too technical. Get technical and they think you're being snobby.

It's not just Christians... Muslims seeing to that tune too... And let's not forget all other religions!
