Did you see any of the debate? I saw the beginning 30 or 40 minutes. Here is my summary:
I watched the beginning and I guess my gut feeling was correct...Ham was not the right guy to debate an atheist scientist. He is no doubt highly intelligent, knows the scriptures, a scientist himself, but a poor debater. He let Nye get away with generalizations, laundry lists of “grievances against God and the Bible” and let Nye run the debate. Nye kept going off subject “looking smart” with knowledge which had no bearing on the immediate subject. I hope the last hour of the debate went better.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12)
Nye seemed to be fixated on diseased fish and sexual practices of fish. He was the assertion king of the debate offering scant evidence. He loaded all his responses with further assertions which had no bearing on the immediate subject. He basically delivered a laundry list of talking points.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12)
I have my own beliefs and would much rather discuss ideas that have an impact on my life. : ' ]
It has an impact on your life. The impact is central to your thinking and actions in almost everything you do every day all of your life.
The truth is important. Believing things to be science that aren't is foolish. And then when that false information from something that is not science hard wires you to wrong conclusions in all your life.
