Bill Nye vs. Ken Ham

I am hoping Bill says to the kids: "Hey kids! Wanna see a demonstration of electricity?"After which he pulls out a Tazer and zaps Ken Ham.

Indeed. And if he adheres to that logic, as Faith does, then they have to admit they cannot have any veracity to their own interpretations of what scripture has stated. If the 'you weren't there' argument was as sound as Faith or Ken Ham stipulate, then they should not have such a dogmatic adherence to what is indicated in the story of Genesis. Because they weren't there either. It's a moronic viewpoint and is tantamount to the 'I know you are but what am I' tactic that I remember from the 2nd grade.

That is usually the case. And for the most part, debates such as these yield little in the way of any real progress one way or the other. Debates are often 'won' by who is the best talker, not who necessarily produces the most sound arguments and evidence. That is how lawyers function.

Who precisely was the written witness to the story of Genesis?

And therein lies the ultimate rub. Who is being close-minded? The individual indicating that something can alter their view and opinion or the individual that says nothing will alter their view or opinion?What do most church folks say? The Truth.
What is the motto of the Science Channel? Question EVERYTHING.Makes me wonder which is dogmatic and which is open to new ideas....
