Bill Nye To Debate Creationist Museum Founder Ken Ham

New submitter cusco writes "Creation Museum Founder and AiG President/CEO Ken Ham will debate Bill Nye at the Creation Museum on Tuesday, February 4, at 7 PM. According to the Washington Post, 'Ham had been hoping to attract the star of TV's 'Bill Nye The Science Guy' to the northern Kentucky museum after Nye said in an online video last year that teaching creationism was bad for children. The video was viewed nearly 6 million times on YouTube.'"

    Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?

    I respect Bye a great deal, but I wouldn't cross the room to listen to Ham.

    I agree. This Ham on Nye thing really doesn't cut the mustard.

    The Creationist museum did something interesting you don't seem to be aware of: It went back, taking the same primary evidence (Facts) that was used in creating the current evolutionary model of history, and then re-interpenetrates it using the Bible as another source of facts.

    Bill Nye: Show me scientific evidence of Creationism.

    Ken Ham: Show me Scriptural evidence of evolution.

    Debate over. Everyone loses.
