Probably posted somewhere here - I just love Bill Nye

 Ken Ham gets his ass handed to him.   I try to refrain from violence and straight insults however there were parts of this that had me wanting to slap the shit out of Ken Ham or at least shake him really hard.  I was totally screaming you damn idiot the whole time lol.  Bill Nye is just too cool.  He’s so collected and so much more patient and poised than I could have ever been while dealing with this moron. Want to know something totally disgusting?  They sell shirts at the Ark which say, Taking the Rainbow Back!  Implying they are taking it back from gay people.  How do I know this?  My Mom bought one on the trip she took there with her church!

One thing I like about Ken Ham is that he comes across as being honest and sincere, which I think he really is. He bones up on argument points to defend creationism but unfortunately for him, he is defending stupidity, the same as his profession.  He is not a good example of a person having knowledge of the natural sciences arguing for creationism because too many of the things he says are obviously wrong, misinterpreted, or seem to be delusional. Bill Nye, on the other hand, knows what he is talking about.

Bill Nye is pretty special.

Bill Nye is not an idiot as thIis video you linked to states.  Maybe read Numbers 5 in the “good book” and check out that abortion scene sanctioned and outlined by god.  You are a christian aren’t you?

Yeah I’m not so sure that Ham is honest or sincere.  For some reason he makes me nauseous.

Here in case you don’t look it up -

Seriously Christians should just drop the abortion issue already. God is directing that a woman who cheats on her husband should be made to abort her child (against her will).  This is NOT okay.  This is far worse than abortion as we know it today.  I believe it’s a personal decision.  It is definitely not something a person should be forced to do!!!!

 

 

Numbers 5:11-

 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,

13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;

14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:

15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.

16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord:

17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:

18 And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:

19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:

20 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:

21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;

22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:

24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.

25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the Lord, and offer it upon the altar:

26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.

27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;

30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.

31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

Yeah Mandy, Here is food-for-thought with a little humor thrown in for good measure. Let's say the true likelihood of Ham being honest is 70%, and that the true likelihood of him being sincere is also 70%, then the probability of him being both honest and sincere would be 49%, less than 50-50

As a Christian, I somehow managed to escape having any knowledge about the Ark encounter or Ken Ham. I saw this video and learned of the incredibly expensive replica of one of man's more ludicrous creations ark a couple of months ago.  When I saw the dinosaurs I actually thought it was a joke and I laughed so hard I was in tears. Those tears had a different meaning when I realized he is completely serious and that there are thousands of people who think, yeah, it all adds up to normal. 

 

But seriously, Bill Nye was a breath of fresh air in this video.
