He was arguing that evolution is science, and so should be taught in science class. Science doesn't know everything about evolution, but that doesn't mean that you can just insert any other idea in its place.
Quote:What did you think of "The Young Turks" point by point assessment of the debate between Bill O'Reilly and Richard Dawkins?I disagree with them. I don't think that one wins debates by acting like an asshole in the way O'Reilly did. I think one wins debates by sticking to the subject, and arguing one's points clearly.
Judging by the comments in this thread, it seems that I'm not the only one who sees through O'Reilly's tactics. He is being dishonest in an attempt to appeal to his viewers, rather than having an honest debate and playing fair.
