The fact that this made Yahoo news, is news in and of it self.

Better to just declare the matter settled, that you're right, and ban any further discussion.

Good old liberals.

Nye was on Stossel debating Global Warming (he’s a believer) the other night. He’s a poor debater.

Oddly, most creationists and intelligent design proponents who saw the debate thought Bill Nye had the upper hand in the end.

Ken Ham ( probably because of time limitations ) did not address many of the points brought up by Nye.

Nye attended Sidwell Friends in DC.
I’m sure Malaria and Sharia were cheering him on, LOL.

Someone explain to me how an Atheist finds it weird that God would make man or woman in a day when they seek ways to clone man and woman.

No, Bill Nye is suffering from the historically proven syndrome of Adam and Eve: if we recreated a being, that same being would be saying: “screw you, you are not my creator, I do not have to acknowldge you”.

The myth of atheism that people are good through the propagation of misinterpretation of the Bible is an old disease. Islam is a perfect example of bad translation morphing as an arrogant imaginative attack cult against whoever dares to interprete and translate exactly what it means.

Meanwhile, the liberal websites are declaring victory.

Bill Fly the science Fly missed his calling as the father of the balloon boy. Maybe Bill can come here to Colorado and get high legally and have a balloon sequel.

This is actually good for science, and it's really going to hurt the Intelligent Design racket since now a wider, general audience is going to see the anti-evolution gang as spearheaded by Young Earth Creationists, who believe the Earth is 6,000 years old and still subscribe to long debunked flood geology.

It's like gun control. When the extremists who actually want to ban guns are the face of gun control, you see gun rights flourish because people see the extremity of the opposition.

I think creationism is still cited by people who not involved in science because they're under the impression that common descent, and even speciation and natural selection are compatible with religious creation; even the Pope accepts it. But once they understand the creationism is actually a total rejection of science and is a cover for a repackaging of George McReady Price's flood geology, I think you'll see a decrease in adherence. And the "Dinosaurs and Cavemen Living Together" exhibits aren't going to help either. Haha!

This is going to be a major failure for the Wedge Strategy. I think we need pictures of the Creation Museum plastered on every news outlet in the country.

....there are two other reasons that Nye might have done so, and I’ve given both possibilities a great deal of thought in the past few days. The first is that Nye, for all his bow-tied charm, is at heart a publicity-hungry cynic, eager to reestablish the national reputation he once had as the host of a PBS show. When his stint on Dancing With the Stars ended quickly, Nye turned to the only other channel that could launch him back to national attention: a sensationalized debate, replete with the media buzz that he craves. Possibility number two is that Nye is clueless—that, for all his skill as a science communicator, Nye has less political acumen than your average wombat.

After watching the debate, I’m leaning toward that second possibility. Last night, it was easy to pick out the smarter man on the stage. Oddly, it was the same man who was arguing that the earth is 6,000 years old.

I’ve heard Creationists debate Evolutionists without even mentioning the Bible. And won. The Evolutionist kept bringing up the Bible and the Creationist guy kept coming back to their arguments and blowing them away.

I would watch on PPV him debating Richard Lindgren of MIT about the extent of man made global warming and the extent to which it would be considered a higher priority than the economy and employment. Nye has argued that our economy and our unemployment should take a backseat to global warming: http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/09/bill-nye-the-science-guy-climate-change-more-important-than-economy-video/

A criticism of Nye.. How dare the truthful science guy lose to the obviously crazy-extremist religious guy.

Cause the crazy religious guy couldn’t possible actually make sense!!

I’m not worried. Jesus will reveal the truth when he returns to claim his throne. Are you?
