All you need to know about the debate summed up in one picture.

I was trying to think of a way to sum this thing up, but that smurfing nails it. xD
I changed it to a clearer picture. Sadly... that was his face most the time so you can take near any of the screens haha
The way he shook his head and scrambled for his pen when Ham started talking about ice just appearing.
Summary of Nye's argument: We can observe these things, and infer based on them that this is how things happened.
Summary of Ham's argument: You didn't see it, so for some reason all scientific observation is invalid.

Literally that face the whole Q&A time. Ahahaha
For those lamenting Bill even doing this, he brought it back to the importance of science education and fostering STEM interests in our youth at every possible opportunity. He wasn't there to change fundie minds; his agenda was to reach any non-fundie and show them what kind of trout we're up against.
Bill was the best person for this kind of debate. Mainly because he doesn't get flustered and angry. Even with the most ridiculous claims, he stays calm and even cracks jokes.
Bill Nye's face is priceless.
I watched the entire thing... and oh god it basically went in circles. I'm glad I watched it because it was awesome at first... but by god was it dragging in the end. I swear, kens entire strategy was based around directly answering as few questions as possible.
This kind of debate almost ends up going nowhere anyway... so I can't say I was really surprised.
I'm at 2:27 where Nye busts Ham for saying that there are parts of the Bible he views as literal and parts he views as poetry. I'm glad even nutbag Ham couldn't get behind stoning people for touching pig skin. That was just poetry, apparently.
The Q&A is the best part. Cause Nye gets to refute him fairly quickly. He rambles a bit sometimes though.
Don't forget the sky being made out of water and the earth being created in six days.Quote:

I met a man who says that the Earth was covered in ice or something. Like the whole planet was just surrounded by... ice... or something like that.
I kind of tuned most of it out.
Man, even the host of the 700 Club acknowledges the planet is billions of years old just from looking at dinosaur bones.
Unfortunately I don't have the time/energy to watch this whole thing during the week, but I'm going to try this weekend. Bill Nye is great, and Ken Ham is a loon.
