Man. I was so hoping that Nye would bring up that "because all those babies died before we knew about germs, does that mean we can't know they died of germs, despite now knowing about them?" Or any number of inconsistencies relating to "these things that were written down by science that only a few people saw are still universally, testably true." Despite Marie Curie dying, we still know Radium will kill you. Because she wrote that shit DOWN. And we've proven it again since, many times.

Can I ask you a serious question? Why do you want so bad for the Bible to be wrong?

I picked this up on bluray, 25 th anniversary edition or somesuch, for $10. Can't wait to sit down with my daughter this weekend and introduce her to this movie! PUMPED!

Oh, and who's saying what? C'mon, spill!

Not the bible, but the people who pick and choose from it what to believe and the disregard all common sense in the process.
I hope I'm not offending you.

There was a debate tonight about mitsubishi evolutions.

It isn't that the Bible is wrong, my own religious text can be summed up as "HOLY SHIT THOSE DUDES SMOKED ALL THE FUCKING OPIUM ON EARTH WHEN WRITING IT" but its the doctrine that follows the fundamentalist reading of the Bible as if it were fact.

Not fact as a belief. But fact as in, this has been vetted and true fact.

Half my country thinks a monkey god is real. Who the hell am I to judge what Christians do or don't do with their own piece of paper?

Yes!
What started as a "Helpfull Hints Guide on How to be a Better Person," turned into wizards are real! Fuck logic!

Da fuck you on about? Wizards are real.

Totally smoked one up with Gandalf.

I died once when I did that.
I'm glad I regenerated.

You're not offending me. It sounds like I'm the opposite of the people you hate. I temper my Faith with logic and science. It makes everybody hate me (both sides) but everything makes sense, and I still have something I believe in.

After all, God is a scientist.

I'm perfectly cool with people like you.

Are you on some kind of opioids while writing that comment?

That is racist.

How dare you.

Just wait till I tell my lemur about this.

I think the reason why Nye didn't go that route is because he thought it was too easy to defeat. In my opinion, Ham hung himself on his own words. The moment you really think about anything he said with respect to not being able to see into the past, the argument falls apart. We see into the past all the time.

I think there's something to the point he was trying to make, but maybe he didn't communicate it as well as he could have. We can't assume that the way we observe things today is the same as the way we would've observed them several millenia ago. But really I thought they spent way too much time arguing over the age of the earth...a debate that was doomed to go nowhere. I'm a creationist myself, but I don't see the fixation on the 6000 year mark - the question they were debating was supposed to be the scientific credibility of the creationist model, not the feasibility of a 'young earth' in particular.

God does not adhere to the scientific method, nor does he possess accreditation from an institute of research. Plus, the platypus is a thing that exists. If God exists, he isn't a scientist. The better analogy is one guy who walked past a lab and thought "How hard can it be?"..........Wait a second.

Kinja'd!!!

Yes, that seems like an accurate description. No scientist would ever look at a hedgehog and go "You know what this needs? A longer nose and some eggs" and make the echidna. In fact, let's just hoist up Australia as proof that if we were made by a creator God, he would be Jezza.

Well it was about mitsubishi evolutions vs. Hyundai Genesis.

What did they agree on?

Yeah, I mean the debate didn't even need to occur, in my mind, but the fact that it did is a serious issue to me.

I've always considered Australia's flora and fauna was created first. Kind of a proof of concept/beta test... that he forgot to delete afterwards.

Australia is in a constant state of Open Beta
