My observation of the Bill Nye/Ken Ham "debate." [View all]

First off, science does not work that way.
It may be a good song-and-dance program, but it's not science.

Second, I did watch about 5 minutes of the debate.
And Ken Ham is running with the Gish Gallop full blast.

Third, it's painfully obvious that Ken Ham has no intention of teaching or advocating for science.
He is an absolute FTB.
And he loves to sell to the rubes his bronze-age ignorance.

BTW, Bill Nye is trying.
And doing a decent job using actual science.
