Interesting - plenty of ad hominem un-christian attacks on Bill Nye, but nothing to refute the uncomfortable truth he stated.

I couldn't care less about the man personally -- but he happens to be right here.

“Evolution doesn’t explain Creation.” - Charles Darwin. So, why did the Universe create itself?

I think the argument made shows that "the science guy" isn't exactly a science expert. Sometimes, when the subject involves faith, it is a little easier to show the ignorance of the condescending offender than to recite the Summa Theologica.

Besides, if you aren't a Christian, who said you get to decide what is un-christian behavior? Good day.

What uncomfortable truth? What is he right about?

You ever study college-level science? I have.

Yes I noticed that too. The argument from intimidation is the standard fare when you can’t refute an argument with reason. Of course faith gives them a metaphysical and epistemological blank check drawn on an unlimited account so why bother with reason?

I agree he is mostly right but there’s no need to be a |)¡©|{ about it

He also said the same thing about people who denied his religion of Global Warming.

I don’t know what kind of career on TV this guy ever expects to have now

Shannon’s theory of information trumps Darwin on evolution.

DNA aka living code does not write itself nor can it re-write itself for new and improved functions and life forms.

Mr. Nye chose to make an argument from authority. In so doing, he made his lack of authority a central issue.

I am unsure of what uncomfortable truth you are speaking.

Last I checked, evolution was a theory, and not one in very good evidentiary stead at the moment.

Adaptation is a fact, supported by a great deal of evidence. Evolution is something awaiting any proof whatsoever of any trans-species mutation. No fish ever became a bicycle, as it were. Apes never became men, as far as the scientific evidence would tell us.

Try as they might, they’ve also never created life out of electricity, earth atmosphere, and ‘primordial soup’.

In fact, the evolutionists have taken to claiming all life came from an infection placed here by some meteorite. That’s not a very long hop from claiming ‘ET came down and spawned us.’

Bill’s another Seattle whack-job who got lucky for a bit, and evolution is still a theory. Frankly, claiming God created all life on Earth and claiming a meteorite or ET did it is all the same - it requires belief, for the moment.

I tend to believe God did it. I’m pretty sure evolution is crap given the evidence I’ve seen. Way too much “And then a miracle happened” in the middle of what is supposedly science for me to buy it. Far less of a leap for me to just believe, “Yes, indeed, a miracle happened.”

There are theories, and there are truths. If you don't know the difference, you have no licence to characterize either Christianity, or the science-savvy millions, including Nobel Prize winners, who have a differing view of things.
