Bill Nye vs. Ken Ham Debate

[Rawtheran]

So last night was the Ken Ham and Bill Nye debate on Creationism, and Evolutionism, and if creationism was a viable way of explaining how the Universe was formed. Both men did very well in the debate, and presented their facts well, but nevertheless both sides were flawed. Personally I wish that this debate were not from a Young Earth perspective, but rather just from a creationism stance regardless of old Earth, young Earth, or gap theory. What did you guys think?

I absolutely hated the format though, 30 minutes each is way too much.

Ken Ham warped and twisted the facts so much that I could not bare to watch any longer.

Both men did very well in the debate . . .

Say what?

Ken Ham never even tried to show that creationism was a viable way of explaining the world around us. All Ham did was repeat the mantra, "Its in the Bible, so I believe it".

Even on a Christian evangelical site the voting was 92% to 8% that Bill Nye won. Ham got slaughtered.

Hmm, how much can one twist the truth until truth breaks apart completely?

Both did terrible imo.

It depends on your audience and whom you are trying to convince. Ham obviously was not trying to persuade the anti creationist crowd but to reasure his flock. Broken record, if ever there was one!

Ken Ham shot himself in the foot when he as good as admitted that he has got a completely closed mind.

This is very true.
