Bill Nye Vs. Ken Hamm

I liked the Fark tag for this: "Scientists to Bill Nye: You're not helping."


Point being, don't argue with these fools and thus give the illusion of legitimacy to their cause.

He's making some good points about how creationists can contribute to scientific progress.

But it seems like his emphasis on "We weren't there." works just as hard against creationism as it does against abiogenesis and evolution.

Only on the periphery is he making the Creationist contribution argument. Meaning, some Scientists are Creationists. It's not really much of a point, especially in regards to the Evolution/Creation debate.
 
Even if you built a time machine and took them back millions of years in the past to show evolution in action, they'd still claim you were full of it. When you've been indoctrinated to believe a book holds every truth you ever need to know, how do you dispute that?

The real debate here is about whether creationism should be taught in public schools. It shouldn't, and governments shouldn't be funding schools that do teach it as a valid theory. If you want your kids to learn that rubbish, send them to religious school.
 
Now it has turned into Religious gobbly beloved patriot. Kinda like how the Cameron/Comfort Proof of God show went.

No, it doesn't have much to do with the overall debate, but Bill Nye commented on the need for the US to keep moving technology forward during the end of his opening remarks and creationists holding us back is IMO a definite concern.

Still I think their contributions are in spite of their creationist views.

My fairy tales? I don't have fairy tales. I'm not in your kid's school. Go fuck yourself.

And it's not just liberals annoyed by it either. The other branches of conservatism can't stand them as as well. Especially if you lean more libertarian/classical liberal. I guess religious people vote more, or don't vote enough, that they seem to get all the attention.
