Thus far the evolutionist has based his “superior” claim....by stating that creationism will stall US progress in Science...
thats a BIT off the wall.
Bad, bad idea.
Unless Bill Nye has set some strict preconditions, he’s likely to become a victim of the infamous “Gish Gallop” and walk away looking like a fool. Creationists are experts at snowing people and tossing out lie after lie faster than they can be rebutted. Also, Bill Nye is not a life scientist, so is probably NOT an expert on the many many ways that we use evolutionary theory in every aspect of our daily work.
I just hope Bill does his homework very thoroughly first, and watches some of those “debates” ahead of time so that he is prepared for the deluge of lies and misrepresentations he is about to receive.
Battle of the Fake Scientists!
Ah, the “Ham-on-Nye debate”: philosophically naive over-extension of the reach of science and of the importance of biological evolution within science versus hermeneutically naive exegesis of the Holy Scriptures! What an event!
I think I’ll pass on watching it, maybe read the low-lights sometime.
I might investigate the event just long enough to find contact information for the participants to send them both copies of Alexander Kalomiros’s “The Six Dawns”, but then again maybe I won’t.
What is called “science” today behaves exactly like the church did before the Rennaissance.
It is even more hypocritical, for it takes positions of theory and presents them as absolute, incontrovertible fact. It stands that its understanding is unassailable.
And yet, every year, science itself discovers that hundreds of its positions on fact - are, in fact - wrong! It continually, with new information, discovers where it has been totally wrong in its positions and views.
And yet - it is never humbled by its new discoveries that disprove previous “truths”. It never “repents” of having taught that which it learns is not true. It forever maintains its arrogance that its current views are absolute.
True science is always admitting it may be wrong. It is not like math, where 2 + 2 always = 4. It tests, retests, and retests - and is open to new discovery.
That today’s science is absolute on its current understandings proves that it is far more like a cultic religion than true science. It condemns, criticizes and condemns opponents to its views in no less a degree than the church of the Inquisition.

Bill Nye - “Noah was a simple man.”
He’s obviously never heard of Archimedes.
Thanks for the post. Debates like these seem to bring people who are passionate in their belief of evolution out, along with those of us who believe the biblical account of creation.
While I can understand someone who does not believe in God or someone who does not claim to be a Christian thinking that creationism is a joke, what I have a hard time understanding is someone who would believe that Christ was born of a virgin birth, believe that He is the only atonement for our sins, but not believe that He created the heavens and the earth, along with man and the creatures that fill it.
