I would love to see Tyson in this debate, along with Kent Hovind for laughs.

The Great Debate.
|
I still think that real scientists shouldn't debate creationists. Give them too much credit.
So, uh, poopypants, what are your thoughts on "race mixing?"?
The trouble is that Nye will probably try to use logic and evidence with these people and it isn't going to work.
If it was me, I'd be attacking the credibility of AIG to start with. Point out their mission statement, the bit that says that any evidence contrary to the bible is to be ignored. Then ask the audience to imagine being in a jury where the prosecutor has told them to ignore any evidence that would disagree with a guilty verdict. And then ask them how much they would trust that prosectutor. If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

Guys don't fall for paintpoopers detractions please, he/she is a troll.
Only downside I can think of for this debate is that it'll be on the Creatard's home turf. I hope Bill Nye can survive the sea of stupid that he will find there.
Nye will need some security, he is a high profile scientist after all, and I'm sure these creationists are a terroristic in action and intent by whole.

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method. |
