I'd rather watch a truck hurdle straight toward me as I gaze, helplessly into its headlights.

It's just Nye taking at the moment and has been for quite a while. I can't stop watching.

Oh wow Ken Ham is a moron. Just endlessly making shit up to try and squeeze it into his interpretations of the bible.

Nice of Bill Nye to give recognition that the debate over guided versus unguided evolution is a serious topic worthy of his intellectual standing.
Surely nobody is suggesting that Mr Nye's standing in the scientific community will suffer as a result of debating creationism/ID/theistic evolution/etc.

He actually said it's something you have to be agnostic about - he said it's not knowable, not that it deserves recognition as a valid hypothesis (if it's untestable it's not valid).

I thought Ham did the best with what little he had to work with - and of course I'm biased - but towards the end he just devolved into a babble-thumper. I think the debate went quite to the heart of the matter: evidence vs belief. You got evidence or you ain't got nothin'.

Grr. Agree with the merge, but I can't figure out how to get Bella's title to show up instead of mine. Sit tight...

I'm just watching bits of it now. I watch about 5 minutes of Ham, then skip ahead to Nye's stuff. It's staggering what religious belief can do the mind of some people.

Do you have any evidence that trucks can hurdle? :coffee:

Well, shit. Seems I managed to change Bella's thread title whilst trying to merge threads and can't figure out how to change it back. Hang on. Will get help. :oops:
