1. I thought Nye did wonderfully!

Ham's arguments were terrible. But I did kind if wish Nye would have asked why Ham only used Genesis 1 rather than Gebesis 2. I think that would have been worthwhile to mention. And Ham's obsession with dogs and finches was hilarious.

And then he had the nerve to try to redefine "science."

On the flip side, I got pretty tipsy playing the debate drinking game. Every you-weren't-there argument by Ham just made me want to shake him and say, "you weren't there either and it seems your god got confused between Gen 1 and 2."

Okay, I digress.
