Bill Nye To Debate Creationist Museum Founder Ken Ham

Posted by timothy on from the confidentially-few-minds-are-likely-to-be-changed dept.

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.'"

    I got invited to a local church once for a creationist lecture and got into a question and answer season with the speaker. I did not change the speaker but I might have changed a few of the other peoples change their mind.
    Of course it probably helped that I am both a christian and believe in evolution.

    Here's some other names. For the context, I suggest starting with Pascal, Bayes, or Babbage, but any field of science will do.

    I've never seen creationists "shout down" anyone. That's always been your side of the isle. Case in point, your referring to them as "morons" right off the bat. I think you should look to yourself for any failures to communicate here, not them. They are taking the time to invite Bill there and hear him. You do the opposite.

    I see that you don't understand basic science. I'm so very sorry about that.
