Bill Nye boo-d for saying moon reflects sun.

They argued against Bill Nye (the science guy).

Their argument is invalid.

You ok?

Sorry -- right point -- wrong year.

In the real world, yes. However, the religous folk here contend the moon is indeed a source of light, independent of the sun.

I thought they walked out on him?

Didn't he quote from the wrong translation?

That's ok 1611... Never forget.

Well gee, he's called Bill Nye the Science Guy, not Bill Nye-the-make-crap-up-on-the-basis-of -his-personal-interpretations-of-a-bronze-age-religious-text-guy.

What did they expect? They are literalists after all, they should have spotted the obvious issue here.

I'm not really caring here.

Not sure why Waco and fundamentalism go hand in hand, but it does. Must be in the water.

I found this amusing:

"The lesser light, he pointed out, is not a light at all, but only a reflector.

At this point, several people in the audience stormed out in fury. One woman yelled “We believe in God!” and left with three children, thus ensuring that people across America would read about the incident and conclude that Waco is as nutty as they’d always suspected."

No AV is very sneaky with this. He hasn't yet said that. He has specifically done everything he can not to address this point. He dances around using re-emitting of light and other terms to try (unconvincingly I might add) to avoid addressing this.

Ah yes, the "you can't prove it DOESN'T exist" argument - aka the "God's best shot" argument.

Yes, grasping at straws, as they say. I've noticed that his thinly veiled attempts to be clever with the use of semantics tend to ring hollow and falls painfully short. GIGO.

I've always considered it a personal victory on dicussion boards when they resort to quoting scripture. When that's all they got... well, that's all they got I guess.

-- Ain't that a shame? looks like science has its limitations.

Science? Ahahahhahahah!

The "you can't prove it doesn't exist" argument is theism's best shot, kiddo - and that's why it's such a joke.

If science were the length of a 747, the bible would be the first layer of paint on the nose.

That's all we need -- ever heard of our 'spiritual armor' ?

Hint: It's in that book you called a 'forgery' --

Ephesians 6:10 Yep, used to have it memorized. Again, hollow words, and I consider it a victory.

Give me a .... V

BTW, I'm not a biblical scholar, so I don't call it a forgery. Biblical scholars have very good reason for calling it a forgery. But of course you're aware of this already. Right? Right?

By his understanding of theory of evolution his hearth could evolve a mouth, what do you know... during his lifetime, of course.

When somatic cells entertain an error, the predominant result is the emergence of uncontrolled growth (which is highly detrimental).. Though the subject might be confined to a bed thus being naturally selected in the midst of car accidents, the heart-to-mouth transition is unsubstantiated nor does the change imply such. In addition to that, there are also controlled adaptive processes within the body such as the switch from anaerobic to aerobic respiration, but this is also limited.

Actually you are asked to show how purely naturalistic unintelligent processes give rise to man.
