[@jonmancill6824]

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

[@4dojo]

@@jonmancill6824 I don't feel like the meaning of life and evidence are the same thing. Atheism doesn't provide any meaning to life, but that isn't inherently evidence against it. Science and morality are two separate concepts.

[@fauxpaws]

@@jonmancill6824 With respect, I didn't see the "Why does it all matters?" as obfuscation from Nye. He answers the question, EVERY time, as to what every living being is here to do: reproduce. 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. Our task...our mission, is to NOT F...FOWL it up.

And the worst part about pictures from space of the earth is that it discredits all those flat earthers who've spent their whole lives in their studies. Just because you've put a lot of effort into it doesn't mean that you're infallible. Ken Ham's stance is that nothing that Bill or any man can provide in the way of evidence can irrefutably prove or disprove the age of the earth. Sure, we believe in the Bible and God, but we're up front about the fact that we're unreasonable about it. Nothing in the natural world can prove an unnatural God. What Bill is claiming is that DNA can sprout from unliving matter, matter can sprout from absolutely nothing, and there can be life without God, while providing no evidence for it.

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

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.

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?

@@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.

I'm still waiting for Bill nye to make any point. Bill believes aliens created people and DNA, but Ken believes that a creature outside our demention and our science, created people and DNA. I have read Walt Browns book. He actually shows the science, behind the hydroplate theory that is far more scientific that anything Bill nye says. My father was an environmental science and a chemist. He explained to me that man made climate change isn't based on science, but on grant renewal syndrome. That means scientists find what they are payed to find, because if they don't they don't get the next grant. There is the bases for climate change and evolution. Science is repeatable and observable. 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. Not to mention all the faked fossils and incomplete fossils and fossils that are several different creatures slapped together to make a whole other creature.

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.

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.

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.

All the while the religious people are only accepting god as an answer rather than admitting, even if slightly, that they are wrong. Whether or not god exists doesnt change the fact that Bill is indisputably correct about the scientific findings we have made. I understand that these findings completely contradict many religious beliefs but what religious people need to do in this case is either find new evidence that supports their claims OR stop using the same unproven claims theyve been using and losing battles with for many years. If religion, whether right or wrong, can not continue to present supportive evidence, then relgious claims simply can not continue to argue against science. You HAVE to have supportive evidence or be dismissed. Period.
