Bill Nye and creationist Ken Ham have
this debate about creationism and
obviously the facts were on
Bill Nye side so can hit Ken Ham I just
basically seem like
a crazy person in my eyes for anyone who
believes in logic
and reasoning he just anything that he
put out there
it was obviously part of his political
agenda now before we show the video I
let me just give you a quick summary but
I thought about the entire debate
I really got the sense that bill now I
was there to debate based on facts and I
got the sense that ham was there
to talk about his political agenda in
his opening statement
in in almost every other explanation
that he had he kept mentioning
political issues like gay marriage he
talked about abortion
bill I didn't mention any about he want
to talk up also when you want to talk
about things like the Doppler shift
arm so I thought that was really
interesting and I realize that the fear
of people
like am is that if we start accepting
evolution and we start to reject
the literal interpretation of the Bible
while the world her position on the
Bible be relevant and morality
that is dictated by their religious
doctrine will
either cease to exist /url become
irrelevant in the eyes of people
I'm so i think thats what is biggest
fear is now
he said that get ham says that he agrees
with
Bill Nye on a number of things right but
one thing that they disagree about
is it the origin love love life and
where we all came from
and ham says what what is it I mean I
believe in the Bible
and you think that the bottle is made up
right that there's no evidence backing
the Bible up
but then you believe in the Big Bang
Theory and there's really no evidence to
back that up either
and then Bill Nye came at him with an
excellent response
take a look how does creationism account
for the celestial bodies
planets stars moons moving further and
further apart
and what function does that serve in the
Grand Designs well
when it comes to looking at the
university course we believe that in the
beginning God created the heavens and
the earth
and I believe now creche missus gonna
say yeah you can observe
at the University spending why God is
doing in fact in the Bible even says he
stretches
out the heavens and seems to indicate
that there is
and expansion up the universe the Bible
says set to
God made the heavens for for his Korean
that's why he made
the stars we see at the and its to
is to tell us how great he is and have
big ears and alright so
let's go to the next video where Bill
Nye response to the
argument that the Big Bang Theory has
absolute no evidence backing it up
edwin hubble was sitting at Mount Wilson
which is
up from Pasadena Calif and Edwin Hubble
sat there and hit
this very big telescope night after
night studying the heavens
and he found that the stars are moving
apart
stars are moving apart and
he wasn't sure why but it was our it was
clear
that the stars are moving farther and
farther apart
all the time to another astronomer Fred
Hoyle just remarks
what was like there was a big bang there
was an explosion
this is to say since everything's moving
apart is very reasonable that one time
they were all together
and there's a place from whence are
rather whence these things
expand and it was a remarkable insight
they went out
are listening and there was this he s
the state's all the time that wouldn't
go away
they turned it this way the hiss was
still there they heard that way this is
still there
astronomers running the numbers doing
math
predicted that in the cosmos would be
left over this
echo $this- this energy from the Big
Bang that would be detectable
and they detected we built the cosmic
Observatory for background missions the
Colby
spacecraft and it matched exactly
exactly the astronomers predictions
you gotta respect that and I do respect
that but unfortunately people I can do
not respect it and as you saw from that
first video that we showed you
his explanation for galaxies receding
from the Earthwise
what the Bible says about what happened
so obvious that the Bible is right at
the Bell then senator
I mean at the house of the LORD God I
needed more room or something
why he didn't know ahead of time needed
more room I don't know he's a mysterious
being i suppose
can't look pretty depressed you're
watching the background a backflip
built by talking he was like god is
great
you so so one final thing that I want to
say about this
out toward the end of the debate of
course there was a question and answer
segment which I absolutely love because
I felt like a few people were trying to
hold
ham accountable for his stupidity and I
want to the questions had to do with you
know changing your mind about what your
beliefs are
take a look what if anything
would ever change your mind well the
answer that question is
I'm a Christian and
as a Christian I can't prove it to you
that God has
definitely show me very clearly
us through His Word and
shown himself in a person Jesus Christ
the Bible is the Word of God I admit
that that's where I start from
as far as the Word of God is concerned
no
and and no one's ever gonna convince me
that that the Word of God a
is not true time mister not
her we were just need one piece of
evidence we would need the fossil that's
why I am
from one where to another we would need
evidence that the universe is not
expanding
we would need evidence that the stars
appear to be far away but they're not
we would need a evidence that rock
layers can somehow forman
just four thousand years instead of the
extraordinary Matt Wiebe need evidence
that somehow you can reset
atomic clocks and keep neutrons from
becoming protons
you bring on any of those things and you
would to interview a change me
immediately me I think accountability
not the best people that we had a pretty
me absolutely I he was so respectful
throughout that entire debate and I feel
like I would have lost my patience and I
would have been
I mean I would've lost my credibility if
I reacted the way that I wanted to react
but like just pay attention to those two
responses you know one person saying
I will not change my mind because I
believe in the word of God regardless of
what kind of evidence is presented to me
and then you have someone talking about
rock formations and and
evidence and him you know being willing
to change his mind based on evidence
that's presented to him
yes so I respond to one thing that can
am said so he said
you know I can't explain it to you I'm a
Christian you're not an expert here
and so I think that from his point of
view it's sometimes difficult to
understand how
say I as an atheist look at his argument
how to line up
understand what he understands and and
alternatively he doesn't understand
how I don't believe it so I have a
solution for both those if you'd like to
understand
how can feel how I feel if your
Christian a way to go pick up
a book on Islam on Buddhism or any other
religion
and read and read about the history of
what they believe to be true and at the
end a bit I want you to say
are you convinced did their historical
facts they talk about convince you did
there
divine proclamations convince you I am
feeling they're not going to be
convincing
and yet there in many ways exactly the
same as what you believe should be so
convincing about the Bible
as a quick way to understand how it is
feel and it's fascinating to me that
even after that
even after that portion at the question
answer section
people still believe in what hamas
preaching there
that he just straight out said I am
willing to reject
all evidence because I believe in the
Word of God
that's it it's amazing to me I wish they
just get to that question occurred in a
very short debate
