Still waiting for something to support the assertion that creationism is viable in science. So some scientists are also bible-believing creationists in addition to their scientific achievements - how much of those achievements are a result of their creationist belief instead of, say, their actual scientific background?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yes, and people need to understand that deism is effectively atheism with some poetry and sentiment.
And Nye needs to point out that there is no discrimination against the supernatural since science can't study the supposed supernatural.
...and of course Ham hinted at a vast atheist conspiracy that's out to get Christian Creationists.

Trying to convince someone who knows nothing about science that creationism is real is like taking candy from a baby.
Give me someone who isn't good at math and I can convince them that the sine of 90 is 2.
It's not an achievement, an achievement is having the experts agree with you.

Ok Ham, we get it, you know Christians who are scientists and you believe in the Bible. Let's get to the evidence already.
