Evolution vs Creationism debate tonight in 'murica

In the Blue corner, Bill Nye the science guy fighting for team evolution!
In the Red corner, Ken Ham the nut job, fighting for team creationism!

As much as I want to watch this tonight, I think I agree with the article and some scientists saying this lends credence to the creationism movement by even debating with them.

Creationism is not a scientific theory. It's not based on observations or experiments. If you want to teach it in a religion class, go right ahead. But it does not have any place in a science class.

Definitely a bad idea to even acknowledge that as something worth debating against. All i can see happening is the creationist guy attempting to drag Bill Nye down to his own level of spouting stuff.

I don't see the point in debating with an adult who thinks Fairy Tales are real, if they still believe in imaginary friends at that age then it's obvious it's not even worth talking to them, let alone giving them a window to preach their utter bullshit.

On another note:
Quote
And almost 33 percent Americans believe in this theory. According to a Pew Research Center analysis published in December last year, six in ten Americans (60 percent) said that “humans and other living things have evolved over time,” while a third (33 percent) rejected the idea of evolution, saying that “humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time.”
Are you for fucking real?

A whole fucking third of Americans are actually that dumb? As much as one can say that there's dumbfucks in every country... :|

Here is what is dumb. People who think Evolution and Creationism are mutually exclusive.

Even dumber, people who think Creationism means the Old Testament.

Thats the argument i hear in more sensible Creationists. That 7 days is just a metaphor and since time is meningless to an omnipotent being that could mean millions of years of evolution.

Pfft. Creationism doesn't mean the Torah, the Tawrat, or the Old Testament. That is just Abrahamic religions trying once again to claim the sole authority over the concept of a god.

Creationism simply means the universe was planned and made into reality by some being, whether of it or outside of it is irrelevant, and whether it would visit the most infinitesimal part of it like a planet is irrelevant. If it weren't for Christians trying to steal an entirely plausible idea to mean what is written in their Bible, there would be very little controversy over it all. I just wish they would shut the hell up about it. Even if there was a Creator, it has very little chance of being the sky fairy in their cracked fairy tales mixed with history.

I don't believe in evolution or creationism. I believe in the only trusted religion known to man. Scientology
