What I don't understand is when Ken ask Bill what does it all mean if when we die there's nothing, Bill continuously states that it's for the people in the future that we hope to pass down information or find a new energy source for them. And when Ken ask Bill when those people are dead, why does it all matters, he still just speaks of passing down information to people the future. It seems to me that if you have two brain cells you can figure out that Ken is speaking of when every and all humans are dead. Yet bill keeps responding with the same answer of people of the future and handing down information to them. I don't know if he's doing this on purpose, or if he really doesn't grasp what Ken is trying to ask him. As a scientist, bill should be really interested in the evidence of the Bible

That's all. From amoebas to zebras. Pass along your DNA. Bill's point is that, as one of the species on this little speck of cosmic dust, if we don't get our act together, we, as one of the zillions of beings on this planet, will become extinct, leaving a world conducive to bacteria and cockroaches. As a practicing Christian and a fervent environmentalist, I preach that God created a world for ALL life. We, as humans were given stewardship over His creation.

You shouldn’t live to die you should be grateful that you’re here and take advantage that you can experience life

[@wayvire6126]

The point is that nothing matters. You can do anything without lasting consequence. Morals in a society mean nothing because the society wont exist long anyway. What is the point of living a happy life, or a sad life. What is the point of learning or going to school, or even watching this debate? It's like playing a video game for a hundred hours and then deleting the save file. What was the point of even doing it in the first place. What morals do we have against slavery or murder or causing anyone else pain, they wont ever remember it when they are dead. There are vast impacts in the ideology of nothing after we die.

@@wayvire6126 you see now you’re going into personal reasoning, it’s not up to me to define to you why you should live your life. If you decide to live your life because you find comfort in that there’s something after for you that’s great, however I don’t necessarily find it healthy to live and do things for the soul reason just to die. I could switch the question right back to you. What’s the point of you doing anything here if there’s something waiting for you. I understand following a moral code but why waste time doing anything else because when you go you’re life will be better. Do you see why having this argument is pointless? Again I’m not knocking your beliefs. If believing in a god makes you do the right things for you that’s fantastic. But please don’t downplay or belittle me because I choose not to believe what you do by posing a question that you yourself can’t even answer.

[@wayvire6126]

@@k1ngf3lon92 Sorry, I am not trying to belittle you or your way of life. I'm fine with you living your life your way (lawfully of course). It just doesn't make sense to me. To me, your perspective is "living just to die." To live in the moment because tomorrow will never come, the whole "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die." The fact that I have eternity ahead of me makes me think more about how i live in the present. I am not living to die, because our bodies will be resurrected again. I am living for the future. Every action has a consequence in my life. Every good deed will benefit others not just until they die. And every bad deed will make it harder for me to achieve lasting happiness. We will all be judged at the end by our actions and intentions. and then we will be sorted accordingly, the good with the good and the bad with the bad. and then life will continue. Every piece of knowledge I gain now I know will benefit me forever. If life after death didn't exist, I have no vested interest in gaining knowledge. Besides, the teachings of Christ are desirable for any thriving civilization. Regardless of whether you believe in God, the lessons that Jesus taught can only do good for society.

Science is a universal tool that all religions/people can use to find answers. Bibles have no answers because the people who made the Bible are people like you and me. It’s believed that multiple people built the Old Testament/Bible because of the different times while making the Bible with different writers. It all goes back on you can’t believe something that you know is true. The whole Adam and Eve sin stuff now that’s dumb. Your all powerful god decided that one of the two people he created messed up so now creatures eat each other wack. They eat each other because they are hungry. Why can we drink alcohol? Because back in the day we would eat the fruit that fell from trees that sat for a long time. How do you make wine. Just sayin religious is all belief wars get started constantly because of it. Nothing good comes from religion. All it is is a way to try and live a life. Walk a path and try to be like Jesus but it’s just live the best life you can and be the best person you can be. Which the only people that follows those views are the followers. I’m not saying that living that way is bad but I can write a motivational book and you follow they ways I write and the path you’ll live a good life same to you you write the book. There is nothing that has come from religions that are proof in what they say. Energy and life from the universe is possible we see it every day. A soul is your energy your essence. All it is is life force and energy. You see these things all around. We all come from the universe we are made up of cells 13+ billion years old. We are made from things that before the beginning of this universe. We are all earthlings are body’s are built in a way to live on this planet coming from microbes on asteroids or different planets. We didn’t come from some crazy being that decided oh you lived a bad life now you live all eternity in hell. Like let’s say you live to be 100 years old. 100 out of a million is so small that it doesn’t even make a dent. So average human life span is 30-70 years and within that time you believe that the wrongs you’ve made in this such small amount of time should last you an eternity of pain. I’ve never seen Jesus pull up and save us from ours sins you see what’s going on in todays time. The amount of times a savior was needed and did not show. The amount of time people prayed for help and was not heard. Your god is all and mighty and made the earth in 6-7 days and decided to nothing after that? What he move away decided he failed off rip so start up new somewhere else. To me it sounds like your gods a quitter who doesn’t care for his people. People born with disabilities what that just a bad joke from god that that person had to live with that for the rest of their life cuz they live bad in the past or sum. We are all the same we are all alive. Religion separates brings no one together. Only people in that group/religion become closer not the outside. But when let go of all the insanity and realize we are atoms and molecules living together simultaneously is great. You have a whole ecosystem in your body living and thriving. You are your own planet. You give life to more life. If anyone was god it would be everything alive and dead. If everything is formed from the same thing that can only mean we are one we are the universe time is relative to you and your own gravitational pull. All god would be is a loop. Like going out far enough and coming back to the place you start. Life making life countless of other universes outside of the one. If you only believe in one universe because that’s all you can see even though we know it’s expanding and becoming bigger and stretching from a center point means there’s a start. If we started why couldn’t another start. In the whole scale of things in this universe that’s tragically sad we believe in a fairy tale over actual evidence and hypothesis. A book made sooo long ago we might never know the actual authors. I can make a book too shoot in todays time you could have an AI make a Bible then go around speaking this is the truth and once you have followers you have a religion. You can believe the things that are true and revolve around proof or follow an idea someone wrote down that can never be proven until Jesus or god or anyone comes down and shows us proof. If you have to base your whole thing on faith and belief with no evidence supporting your claim is outrageous. Fun fact look at where the Bible is made and you find out they take ideas from the country above and below and put them together. He say she say stuff that’s all I hear. Only people that follow the Bible are people who need a higher power to believe in. It’s like king and queen and civilians are less even though they are the exact same as you and me and want to keep the power. Sorry but religion is a scam. It only works if you believe same as Santa. It’s all fairy tail Mumbo jumbo like anyone can make it up. We see it all the time and people getting used example don’t drink the kool aid. These people cult leader killed his own people.

We have observed many things that disprove evolution and climate change. I have watched Bill Nye the engineer/actor for decades. He is an idiot. When you refuse to look at all sides of an issue, then you become brain washed We know historically that macro evolution was never based on science, but on racism and eugenics. We know that Darwins book,"On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life", was a best seller, because it justified racism and slavery, not because it was scientific. Heckle was called out for faking drawings. They proved in that neanderthals were fully human, they have found blood vessels that are still soft on dinosaurs bones and the dating methods that are based on circular reasoning and theory sometimes will date the same animal millions of years apart.

Just as God brings you comfort, a lack of God may bring others comfort. What a lot of atheists believe is that they should leave the world a better place than they found it, not for themselves or to reward themselves, but for future generations. They don’t believe the whole point of life is evolution. Everyone has a different interpretation of what they think the meaning of life is, whether it’s to find your own meaning, find someone else to love, have children, etc., don’t put a single definition on such a large amount of people. Like I said I am not atheist but it’d really be in people’s best interests to try to understand each other instead of projecting their own feelings.

Summers are always 1 year apart so this gives you a very simple method of counting years in ice(This works up until a certain point) Alternatively, you can measure how much of a particular radioactive isotope is left in ice at a particular point. Since radioactive isotopes decay at a fixed rate, you can use math to figure out when these radioactive particles were deposited into the ice by fresh snow. There are many other methods too and they can all be corroborated by the presence of specific features in the ice. Black ash layers in an ice core from known volcanic eruptions, or the presence of Tritium from nuclear weapons testing, among several other things, are markers with known dates that allow scientists to check the accuracy and effectiveness of their dating methods.

Bit of a flawed argument tbh. From both sides of the pond. I AM a Christian, but for the sake of argument if I’m wrong there’s no consequence to it.

If the testimonies of people being brought back from death aren’t enough of a reason to at least consider the option then idk what is. But I think a vast majority of people are pretty open to the idea of there being an afterlife so this seems like a moot point on my end anyways. Christianity doesent need to scare people into the faith lol. And if that’s indeed what Ken was trying to do it’s definitely the wrong way to go about it.

If there truly was an afterlife, would that not be something Lazarus would be telling everyone about as soon as he was resurrected? Would that not be something you’d write down in the Bible to talk about? And it’s interesting to look at the Jewish beliefs especially at the time, which posited that there was no afterlife. But where an afterlife is such a big staple of Christianity and supposedly Jesus teachings, shouldn’t that be a huge part of the story of Lazarus? Why are peoples stories today of what they saw after dying and being resuscitated taken as better claims than of what is recorded in the Bible?

[@wowitsfrostygames155]

@@markvickery5894 the answer to all of those is not necessarily. Fact is we don’t know what those who were revived saw. Their death could have been nothing more than a sleep prior to Jesus reviving them. Or maybe they DID go to an afterlife but, similar to a dream, didn’t remember. Or perhaps they DID speak on the things they saw eventually to those around them. But it’s not important. You have to understand what the gospels are: eye witness testimony. You can’t give eye witness testimony on something you didn’t see or hear. And even amongst the writers of the gospels they didn’t write down every single possible thing. Each gospel writer focused on different aspects of Jesus’s ministry. One focused on him being Lord, one focused on him being a servant, one focused on his divinity, etc. each gospel writer wanted their gospel to capture specific parts of Jesus. And ultimately the gospels, and the Bible really, is about Jesus. Also, the Jewish belief of no afterlife was not something all Jews believed, it was a specific denomination of Jew. Similar to how there are different denominations of Christian. The sadducees I believe were the Jews that held this belief. And if you read the Bible you’ll see Jesus debate them on this. They ask Jesus a question on marriage and the afterlife. In the debate, like any good debater should do, the sadducees were trying to get Jesus in a corner. They asked him ‘if a woman marries, and her husband dies, and she remarried, and this repeats up to six times, in the afterlife, who’s she married to? If she is married to all of them, she commits adultery by way of polygamy. If she is married to the first one, she committed adultery against him with the other six.’ Their line of reasoning was, there can’t be an afterlife because if there was this problem of marriage would go against Gods divine law. It was a trick question because how can the afterlife be a place where Gods law is broken? No matter how you slice it, this woman would be committing adultery one way or another. Jesus responds by saying ‘there will be no marriage in heaven.’ And then asks them a counter questions. ‘Have you not read what was spoken to you by God? “I AM the God of Moses, Isaac, and Jacob.” He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” Moses, Isaac, and Jacob have been “dead” for many many years by this point, but Jesus’s point was how can God be the god of these people if their conscience stops existing after death? (Which was the view of the sadducees). He’s calling them out on their lack of understanding the scripture. So yes the afterlife was very much a part of Jesus’s teachings, but it was not a focus of his ministry. His ministry was spreading the word to Jews and gentiles that the kingdom of God was at hand, and that they needed to be saved not from the Roman oppressors, but from sin itself, and that they must repent. There were a lot of things the ancient Jews believed that were wrong.

To the people saying bill avoided answering questions and didn’t support his statements with evidence you need to understand that what he is talking about is much more complex and hard to comprehend than he can explain in a situation like this. He tried to explain how they date one layer of ice but it’s complex and to fully explain it he would need much more time with less distractions and there’s other aspects of science you would need to understand to be able to fully understand why they claim that a layer is equal to a year. On top of that it’s important to remember that in science we cannot prove anything to be 100% true we can only prove things to be false. For example you cannot say with 100% certainty that all swans are white because being able to find and observe all swans on the planet is nearly impossible. Even if you think you’ve seen all swans on the planet there is always a possibility you missed one. A true scientist understands this and therefore things we know as facts are only proven by proving other things wrong. However, because we can only ever prove things are false and not that things are 100% true all of the time, scientists cannot say “this is definitely true across all situations all the time” and still be a good scientist. This is why Bill doesn’t make strong assertions about evidence. 1. Because most of the evidence requires time and other understandings of science than he was able to provide at the time and 2.

Modern science is no less dogmatic than religion. Possibly more so. No one dare even question the dogmas of evolution or global warming, for example, lest they lose their job. Most people simply believe what the mainstream scientific narrative tells them to, absent any real critical analysis. Also, true Christianity sets you free and fosters critical reasoning. Many Christians are more knowledgeable in the secular sciences than those that attack religion. I would also note throughout history, Christianity has promoted and fostered science and in fact enabled it to prosper. Lastly, there are countless reasons to believe the Holy Bible as being true and accurate. It's not just because you're told to believe it. It's arrogance to think you know more than believers. Or that you somehow have knowledge of the origin of existence that you can rule out the theory of an intelligent designer. You prove that modern science is itself a religion.

Ken’s tactic is fighting a war of attrition- he knows how to bring out his follower’s emotions and undermine Bill’s moral trustworthiness, and lets Bill talk because it’s a very difficult crowd to keep focused especially because Bill keeps returning to very particular scientific imagery that doesn’t sound convincing if you’re not already kind of a believer in science. The hope is that people will be open enough that Bill’s confidence, love, and intelligence permeates.

[@michael-r4k]

Bill has none of those traits, and you just called science a belief. Truly bottomed out on intelligence, this take. As for Bill, his moral trustworthiness was gone the moment he claimed life coming from martian rocks is plausible, while refusing to acknowledge that God making everything is just as plausible an explanation with just as much evidence. That crosses into dishonesty rather than simply a poor conception of the believability of different scenarios.

No, she is trying to trip him up. He cant go through the entire science of why these things work the way they do because you need to get heavily into very difficult subjects like quantum mechanics. We can infer things based on research done by multiple people that make these things verifiably true. A good example is there is enough verifiable evidence and research done by scientist with peer reviewed research to verifiably prove the earth it round. I do not need to do my own experiment to prove it. I can reliably trust the past research that states it as so. You can do the same with many of these are more advanced concepts.

Ken's biggest argument is "You weren't there to see it" and "Do you agree that you could be wrong?". Our great grandparents could have been the creators of all literature and historical writings including the bible because we weren't there to see it being written. And seeing as how creationist believe that our ways of dating and figuring out the age of something today doesn't work for the past we have no way to prove anything is older than our great grandparents.

[@millaman2603]

Good job you’re finally realizing nobody knows anything for sure

[@V8ER88]

What he is trying to say (at least I think) is that in order to prove something from the past to be true you need clear eye witness or first hand accounts, such as the Bible for example. It is illogical to believe these “discoveries” from modern scientists when their discoveries have the chance to be proven false as Bill himself stated.

[@Icebearishungry]

​​@@V8ER88who knows that they are speaking absolute truth? Then what about other religions?

Were you there to see them? Were you there when they were preaching? If today I write a fictional story and gather 500 people to take part with me then will I be god after 1000 years? How do you know that my friends can not write stuff about me? All we got to do is to make a story and live it like visiting places mentioned in story and do somethings can"t those 1000 year old people just gather together when they are doing nothing and write this up? Were you there? I mean jesus is claimed to be a real person, but have you ever thought that people who lived before jesus like alexandar the great was very much more likely a real person than this jesus, this is literally sad to see, it hurts me so bad, that this ken is teaching lies, I have no problem with whatever people believe but he is straight up manipulating young people,spreading false information about climate change and age of earth just to satisfy his ego and preach his world view. It's sad to see this happening

[@V8ER88]

@@Icebearishungry Well the reason I believe Christianity over other religions is for many reasons. To start, Christianity is the most unique of all religions. Other religions state that good works and works righteousness are what get you into heaven while the Bible states that accepting God and living with him will get you into heaven. Furthermore, Christianity is the only religion that offers a personal relationship with God which is in the form of Jesus. Another thing, the events of the Bible are rooted in history. Almost all historians agree that Jesus was a real person and preached the gospel. This all happened during the tyranny of the Romans. The Romans persecuted and murdered people for even being associated with Jesus. They also would punish people for just writing or talking about the gospel. Why would the apostles go through all of the trouble and danger of writing the Bible to just lie? What benefit does that serve them.

So the changes over time come from a reducing genetic pool and not from an increasing genetic pool. Adaptations are not evolution nor are they proof of evolution. They are literally proof of the opposite... Mutation. Mutations occur when a gene is inherited with missing DNA.. Not extra. Believe what you will. I probably won't convince you.
