So I have no problem with evolution, but I think if I did this video would do little to convince
me I was wrong. It sounds more like he's in love with his own worldview more than he's got
reasons definitely proving his opposition is wrong. Granted, he's only got so much time in this
short video, but I'm not sure if it's designed for creationists who hate evolution or fans of
evolution so they have something to help them feel more right than they already do.

Bill Nye has done a disservice to the Evolution V. Creationism debate. He's gone from being
fairly well liked to simply attentionwhoring for the cameras and if people bitch about it, he
namedrops Carl Sagan and disregards all criticism.

Well to be fair to bill Nye who I actually had the awesome privilege to meet when I was like 6
hes a mechanical engineer evolution and biology is not his specialty. If I recall he did a debate
against creationist anyone got the link.

You can't convince someone who believes in creationism that evolution is the correct theory. Nye
is pointing out that if you indoctrinate kids with creationism at an early age you stunt their
mental development.

Which is entirely true. People are taught at their best in early childhood, and most knowledge
will become ingrained into their minds.
If you tell a kid every day that the clouds are made of the souls of the damned that then ran
down their tears of sorrow, they will probably think it true for a good portion of their life.
Depending on their own personal intellect.
The way I see religious people is just people whom don't have the intellect to look past what
they believe in, and see it for what it truly is.

Can you entirely blame that on intellect alone? Some people simply lack the courage or self
confidence to stand up against old beliefs. Don't forget how in older times people would be
ostracized or excommunicated because of debates like these.

True. But then again, would you rather live amongst people you know are wrong, or seek to show
them they are wrong so they may take the right path?
I suppose it isn't about intellect, rather the individual's own moral.
If they truly don't care, they will not speak out. Only those with a passion for what they
believe will, which is why there is a debate on this subject in the first place.
In the end, it matters not who is wrong or right in these situations, but rather whom has the
most passion and understanding in what -they- think is right.

Or who gets murdered for speaking out against the orthodoxy. You do know that happened for most
of history, right?

That's not actually what's being argued about, but sure, whatever floats your boat. You can be a
Christian and still know that evolution is true. Unless you're a fundamentalist christian that
believes everything in your translated-to-English-and-written-by-committee Bible is true, in
which case you have bigger problems.

Garbage. Religion, by it's definition is based on belief without proof. That's why they call if
faith. The Christians have the parable of Doubting Thomas. He who doubts is less in the eyes of
God. All religions have something similar.
Science is about belief only after objective, repeatable experiments. In other words, fact.
Or as a politician once put it: "Your are entitled to your own opinion (religion) , you are not
entitled to your own facts"

I was speaking for modern day debates where it is much harder to do that.
Of course in the past you would be killed, which is why this day and age is wonderful.
I thank the people of the past who did speak out against those who held power above them in the
seek of knowledge. Truly they not only had a burning passion for what they did, but also the mind
to preserve or hide it.

Tell them that Thunder is Satan claiming the souls for his Domain. It will make thunderstorms
400% more scary for them.
>They think it is raining sorrow of souls
>They will think that the wind is the cry and agony of these damned souls themselves
>They will think that Satan himself is among them as lightning strikes and supposedly claims the
souls to the ground of his domain

Muricans, how does it feel to be one of the countries that are submerge in the obscurantism of
our era?
Your average burger citizen doesn't know the mean of science of theory and immediately start

As long as they aren't burning information we can't get back it will be fine.
This is what Nye here is trying to say. These adults who you say are you 'average burger citizen'
will die, but their children and THEIR children will yet live. While the mind of the current may
be tainted, if you allow the mind of the new to learn, knowledge will progress. (More so then a
bloody rampage)

Actually I feel your first attempt was just terrible, still feel the effects of the cold war? I
thought the Russians were dumb for being faked out by the US and had their economy destroyed
because of it? Either way - if ur not a troll - I like PUTIN but fuck Russia in general their
citizens are idiots in a whole new ballpark compares to Mericuh, go throw some empty vodka
bottles around in your backyard and stick to youtube 4chan is too high brow for u. If u are
trolling then wow - ur just plain dumb.
