Bill Nye vs. Ken Ham

Ergo creationists are not dealing in science, but apologetics. But you just admitted this, see bolded portion above. Here we have a bit of projection. Just because this is how YECs think and reason doesn't mean that is how science functions. So many in fact that they couldn't all be alive on the planet at the same time. And so many occupying the same environmental niches that they couldn't compete/survive alongside one another, like the hawk and the pterodactyl. And some like the giant dragonflies of the Carboniferous that require higher levels of oxygen in the atmosphere.
The strata is an evidence against the flood BTW. But you can't reason correctly because of the bolded part above.
If you were capable of accepting true constraints you would have to let go of your written witness.Here is a written witness that also must constrain our theorizing about the past shape of the continents.Real world constraints disprove your false written witness in this manner.
If evidence is found that contradicts a model then out goes the model. What possibilities are we left with? That is how objectively looking at the evidence works. There is no preconceived notion to which the evidence is shoe horned to fit as you claim in science, but that is exactly the methodological approach you take as shown above in bold.

Who was it that God was angry with again? Oh yes mankind. Perhaps you would enlighten us on the location of the hoards of human fossils that resulted from Noah's flood? Thank you.

The oceans don't lay down sand on beaches.

where does beach sand come from?

​

In a most basic sense, the sand on our beaches comes from the erosion of the land. In our area the beaches rely on sand transported from the mountains by the rivers and from eroding cliffs near the shoreline.

​

The addition of new sand to the beaches is seasonal, occurring during rainy periods when the rivers flow and sediments are washed into the ocean. The Santa Clara river is capable of depositing huge quantities of sand during floods, but very little during dry years. For example, 52.4 million tons of sediment were discharged during the 1969 floods; floods that ended 30 years of relative drought when very little new sand was added to the beaches.

​

Today the supply of new sand to our beaches has been greatly reduced by human activity. Over the past 50 years river sand has been restricted by dams in the watershed areas and mining of floodplain gravels by private industry. About 42 percent of the Ventura River watershed is blocked by dams (at Matilija, 1948, and Casitas, 1959) and 37 percent of the Santa Clara River watershed is dammed (Bouquet, 1934; Piru, 1955; Pyramid,1971; Castaic, 1972). These dams trap river sediments and starve the beaches of their natural supply of sand. In addition, the erosion of coastal bluffs along the Rincon coast has been eliminated by the construction of seawalls for Highway 101, removing the other primary source of beach sand for our area.

​

Presently our beaches are eroding because of the of the reduction in the sand reaching the coast. However, Matilija Dam is no longer useful as a water supply because it is completely full of sediments; sediments that should be in the Ventura River and on our beaches. If obsolete dams like Matilija were removed our beaches would receive a much needed renewal of their rightful supply of sand.

http://matilija-coalition.org/point/growing/sand.htmlSo now where does beach sand come from in your model? Are you sure 4,000 years of erosion is enough to account for the amount of sand on the shores?

The most common natural process of sand formation is called weathering. Majority of sand comes from chemical and mechanical breakdown (weathering) of bedrocks. Such process can take hundreds or even millions of years depending on other mechanical processes such as temperature changes, wedging by plant roots or salt crystals, and ice gouging underneath glaciers. A waterfall continuously pounding on a huge rock would cause little bits and pieces of the rock to be detached.

How Sand is Formed - Tech-FAQYour flood didn't lay down the sand, it laid down the geologic column according to your model. Nice flat layers everywhere.
Here's another problem for your model. The sand found in the geologic column had to form prior to the flood. But you only have less than 2,000 years of time to create that sand.

But maybe when the scriptures say that animals reproduce after their kind it really means transformers change after their kind. Or perhaps it was a typo and it stated animals reproduce after they're kind, a subtle reference to the sexual act.

In contradistinction to a God who created races and favors one race over other races. That concept certainly lays claim to the moral high ground.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could divide our country in two, those who side with Ham/marc and those who side with Nye. Let each side prosper and make progress in accord with their talents and abilities. This debate would finally come to an end along with the retarding religious influence that currently gets a free pass in the US.
