Generally I agree with you. But if objective science is going to offer lamebrains like mechanical engineer turned stand-up comic turned "science guy" such as Bill Nye to defend evolution, then evidence and reason have got no chance.

Bill Nye is simply a scientific illiterate. His success as some iconic communicator of science is a horrifying tribute to how awful science education is in this country. Some of his "scientific" claims are real howlers; he has almost no understanding of physics or the current state of biochemistry/microbiology at all.

I can see Bill Nye losing big to a skinny bald guy in a red half-toga who claims the universe is an elephant on the backs of four turtles. Maybe even losing badly.

"Bill Nye is simply a scientific illiterate."

You can always tell when a debate is lost by those who believe in leftists science when they rip apart their own guy after he lost.

I'm still paused in the middle of the debate, and I agree Nye is a dweeb, who uses the same pop-culture non-scientific prop techniques to push global warming.

But Nye is really irrelevant here. Most people don't understand what the Wedge Strategy is, or that it's a front for literal Young Earth Creationism and flood geology. This is going to open a lot of eyes.

How does Ham beat the toga guy's argument?
