We all need to learn how to look at the world through this lens of objectivity and logic.

[@aaronstanley474]

@SteamingBurito I agree so let’s observe the US as a whole over the course of its history and examine the morality, crime of the nation. If you look back only 70 to 80 years you start to see a big shift in metrics that are detrimental to any culture, just about all of the issues are a direct result from our departure from the word of god. - divorce rates spike - crime goes up drastically - people are in need of more financial assistance - mental health issues spike So the written word of GOD is powerful, you can’t begin to fathom the power he has, you are looking at rocks trying to determine what ?? You have the written word that literally proves his existence just by the order it brings as well as the prosperity. That’s evidence

I think a pretty important moment in this debate was when both men were asked what it would take for them to change their minds and admit the other side is right. Bill Nye gave a few examples of what it would take to convince him of creation, and then Ken Ham said absolutely nothing will ever change his mind about creation and the word of god... Like, is that even ok in a debate?

[@Spudderr]

Exactly. I challenge every Christian to watch this debate and still have the same beliefs at the end. It is perfectly ok to believe that their may be "a higher power" but to follow this and other huge organized religions blindly is foolish. Almost all of the bigger religions have an agenda they are pushing in one way or another. Look at the ark encounter for example. 100 million dollars to build and it's around 50 bucks a pop for a ticket. If they really wanted to help others they could have donated that money elsewhere. And the sad part is that is only one scheme. Can you imagine what else is going on in the name of "god"?

[@forrestthewizard299]

Its called faith.

[@jonwojcik4494]

Ken Ham has "faith" when you have this faith in god this strong, it shows the truth in The Word.

[@Peteru69]

Scientific method is based on factual information that we currently have to predict or measure a viable theory or outcome that is in rational/logical coherent agreement with what we already know. Christianity has no information or fact except a book written thousands of years ago by multiple different people who weren't even there when the "events" unfolded. The bible is not a platform for any kind of evidence. The scientific method is based in real things, the bible is a bunch of compiled stories that has been edited, filtered through, rewritten, translated, passed down by word-to-mouth over multiple generations(oral communication) and on top of it all it speaks of magical events that has never occurred since and likely never will. And the only "evidence" we have is what Christians like to call "faith". In other words, there is no proof that a single word in the bible is true. There is nothing in there that points to the validity of the written information. The problem is they're indoctrinated to believe that even the mere act of questioning the written events is a sin. It's how the devil gets you, and then you burn in hell. Carrot and stick. Heaven for the good obedient sheep, and hell for anyone who thinks it sounds like a bunch of fictional nonsense. I was a Christian for no less than 20 years. I understand how difficult it is to wrap your head around, but as soon as you understand how utterly ridiculous any religion is, you'll start living your life free of fear and restriction from vague rules set in place by old conservative story writers in a culture that is almost identical to that of Islam. People were stoned, wars were fought. All in the name of a fictional deity. There is no proof that god exists, and there never will be. It's a system that deliberately keeps you from asking questions, because the mere act of asking questions will make people see how void of subjective truth the book really is. Faith is another construct of infallibility, created only to excuse the lack of any kind of useful information. It's a huge circle jerk of cult-like brainwashing designed to make gullible people not ask questions in fear of eternal damnation, or in some versions of Christianity simple for go the chance to get into "heaven". There are so many different religions, and many of them state they are the right one. Even within Christianity itself you have 30000-43000 denominations who all claim their way is the only true way to interpret the bible and if you don't follow them, you're going to hell. Silly? No. It's not silly, it's completely insane. Brainwashing is really difficult to undo, which is why we see so many Christians willing to (sometimes literally) kill for their "faith". There is no proof of gods existence. If you could show real infallible proof, the unbelievers would have to be the ones who so blatantly choose to ignore fact. But what's even worse is that even the very existence of a god, doesn't prove that the bible is "the word" of said entity. Organized religion is essentially organized brainwashing, and the world will never know peace until we are allowed to be skeptical about the information we're presented. Who wrote the bible? Even the first scripture is written at least 70 years after the very last events of the bible are said to have occurred. And the hebrew bible is said to be from 6th century B.C. The bible is not a historical scripture, nor is it any kind of reliable source of information which is why you need "faith" in the first place (religious indoctrination and brainwashing). You can't make a sensible argument to any religious person that will make them see the systematic cuckery of their belief, because it's made as a loop stopping them from thinking rationally about it's objective truth.

“Faith is the excuse people give when they don’t have evidence”

[@xer0c]

That's exactly why Bill took so much heat over doing this debate. It was pointless. Creationists will always use the go-to excuse of "You weren't there" or "Because the Bible says so." You cannot win a debate against creationists. They make up their own rules without having an understanding of the scientific process. Like Ken's response to Bill saying we don't know what was before the big bang and that we are working to find out. Ken's response was something along the lines of "There is a book that says what happened. It's called the Bible" and Ken wants to leave it at that. Nothing more, just God did it and that's it. In any other debate, Ken would be laughed off the stage for pulling that crap. Neil deGrasse Tyson has a good method of dealing with creationists: He doesn't.

This will explain why Bill Nye believes the way he does. Two of today's most popular scientists, Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson, each claim Sagan as their inspiration.  How would you like to have Carl Sagan as your astronomy professor? For Nye, this was reality. While Nye was studying at Cornell University in the late 70s, Sagan was his astronomy professor. Nye learned much about the universe from Sagan, saying that his lectures were like Cosmos episodes. At his 10-year class reunion in 1987, Nye told Sagan about his idea for a TV show that he wanted to gear towards children. Sagan advised him to “focus on pure science, kids resonate with pure science.” Bill Nye the Science Guy premiered in 1993, winning numerous accolades (including 19 Emmy awards) and inspiring a generation of future scientists. Nye later went on to be the CEO of The Planetary Society, an organization founded by Sagan. Now, Nye gets to continue part of Sagan’s legacy. If you grew up loving Bill Nye’s show, you owe much of that love to Carl Sagan.

Secondly, there are also documents of the Greek heroes who fought Cyclopes and gorgons, so by your logic this is proof of them also. Thirdly, evolution does not have 'documents' but it has actual evidence like fossil similarities and layers, similarities amongst living organisms, and DNA testing.

You cannot ask me for proof then think you'll change my mind without proof of your own. And before you say The Bible and I retort and you say I wasn't there, you weren't there when they wrote the Bible either, so with your upcoming argument I suppose you would see yourself in the right when we would be on the same, level playing field. You claim I'm the victim of groupthink, but you believe a book that can't even be backed up by experiment. My science textbooks can be backed up by experiment. Burn them and erase all scientific memory to present and we'll eventually reach the same equations and conclusions; burn all the Bibles erase memory of Christianity and you will see that other religious texts will arise. The fundamental difference between the Bible and our science is that we can back ours up with experiment and can recreate what came before, whereas the Bible simply cannot be proven. You say we can't prove our science, but we are getting a lot closer than you are to proving the Bible. Before you say that I blindly believe science, take a step back and realize that all of Christianity is based on believing a book that nobody alive today has witnessed being written. You can't say my argument is invalid because I wasn't there because I can say the exact same thing to you. Thing is, religion will come and go, but the laws of our universe won't change. Things will still feel attraction to each other, and take away our knowledge we will still come to the same conclusion. Take away the knowledge of a God and people will come up with other gods and not return back to the same idea of the previous one.

Naturally that evidence won’t exist in the strict sense because it proving a negative. How do you prove something to not exist outside of a priori conclusions? The married bachelor is an example, as it is conceptual. So proving God’s nonexistence, cannot be done conceptually unless it holds contradictory qualities (omnipotent, omnipresent, omnibenevolent, omniscient). Proof of God’s nonexistence instead comes from a posteriori aka empirical evidence. Cases where there should be evidence of a God/it’s actions, we should see them. If not, that acts as evidence to the contrary. But since atheism is just the rejection of a claim (theism), the proof lies with you and your own Gods proof. Any evidence that exists exists contradictory to an existing claim of Godly proof. So for instance, the fossil record, geology, radiometric dating, EMR spectrum and the principles of light, primatology, etc, all act as evidence countering the creationist narrative. If the affirmative case cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt a solid prima facie case for God that overcomes alternative theories, then the God hypothesis isn’t feasible

And despite the dodgy source material, Ken is adamant that the works must, on faith, be regarded as inerrant and that any evidence that contradicts them must be ignored. Whereas Ken "has a book," geologists have training and experience sufficient to recognize the different depositional environments in which the sediments that form the rocks of the Grand Canyon were deposited, as well as draw reasonable conclusions about the geologic and geomorphic processes which shaped the landscapes we behold today.

Related problems are 1) the absence of any plausible source for the extra water; and 2) no explanation for where all the water went as it drained off the continents at the end. Catastrophic plate tectonics is incompatible with everything we know about crustal geology and the temperature-dependent viscosity of the mantle, which is ultimately responsible for the rate of plate motion.

@@nicholaschristie-blick3139 Seems you don't know of the ice age. There was ice up to two miles thick covering parts of the continents (ice is water). After getting hit by a comet / meteorite around 12,600 years ago, ice dams were broken and there was a rapid meltdown. That caused massive floods and a 400 foot rise in oceans levels. Don't know what the hell plate tectonics has to do with anything. Antarctica is currently under a deep layer of ice (water) when at one time it was not and trees grew there.

[@nicholaschristie-blick3139]

@@Elhardt There was no global flood. That's a myth. And the global flood that never happened has nothing to do with ice ages (plural). The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was about 20,000 years ago. Deglaciation since that time has nothing to do with a comet or the destruction of ice dams. Plate tectonics enters the picture only in creationist lore, as a catastrophic event coeval with the imagined global flood. The well established mechanics of plate tectonics precludes that view. An ice sheet developed in East Antarctica 34 million years ago. The global climate was more equable prior to that time. [I am an academic scientist. This is my field of expertise.]

@@pewdfan7117 (sorry, this will be long) The Bible is not the place to go for facts. First off, the gospels are a great place to start when looking for contradictions. Look no further than the 2 different stories of Christ's birth. You can also find a clear historical innacuracy when a major census the bible claimed happened is nowhere in historical record. A census that required people to travel en masse to their place of birth, and took place across a then massive empire. Thats something that would have been well documented. As for the birth story, there are plenty of videos that talk about the contradictions therein. I think 43alley has one. AronRa does a great job at explaining issues with the creation story, adam and eve, the flood, etc. I was a Christian up until 2 years ago. I grew up with it, and continued believing into adulthood, until i started to look into some unanswered questions i had. Over the course of a year and a half, my faith slowly unwound. Don't be afraid to dig at any doubts you have. If God really exists, he would be an obvious conclusion to come to with plenty of scientific and hostorical evidence leading to that conclusion. The issue is...science and history point the other way. Its okay to doubt.

[@darthslobbius487]

The whole point should not be, “this side is right because A” or “You’re wrong because B,” as we love to do in this day and age, but rather the ethical and practical implications explored behind each possibility. The Bible, dare I say, is perhaps the most misunderstood piece of literature in the history of mankind, and that, just there, forms the epitome of our issue: If we cannot come to accept the truth that the same God depicted in the Bible, is in fact, the highest regard for pure love and other-centered sacrifice anywhere we could possibly look, we will always find ways to deny His existence; at the end of the day, no one knows what happened at the birth of the universe, nor when it came. It is completely unfair to show accusations to one another’s beliefs, as though they are inherently wrong and stupid, when no amount of presented evidence could ever surely convict. Instead, look at our alternatives. In the eyes of the atheist, life will carry on, mundane and pointless, until eventually, without hope for anything more, the last flame will die out. We are nothing but an pathetic speck in the vastness of indifference. The Bible, when studied carefully, and under the societal norms and cultural expressions of the times it was written, tells a much different story. We were created by a God who cares only for us, making us like Him, able to think of someone else, feeding off His love for spiritual sustenance and living in perfect harmony with the world of plentiful pleasures all around us. We were given purpose among our relationships, designed to let our relationships flourish with other beings, human and animal, along with that all-consuming love for God, for life itself. Not only that, but we are promised an eternal life at our fingertips! One of a restored humanity and world, the way it was meant to be, finally. No more pain, He says. No more suffering. No more tears, for the former things have passed away. Like a loving father to the orphan, husband to the widow, He will not abandon us. This is what He promises in the Bible. Now, take a step back, drop all predispositions and bias as much as possible, setting aside perceived evidence and prejudice. Let your heart guide you, and I guarantee that you will be drawn to God of your own accord. If you are not, then you are mistaken of His character. In fact, we all are. The devil reveals his strategy in scripture as the only way to get us to flee our creator: by sowing distrust and suspicion. Any way you slice it, without eye-witness accounts, we can never know what happened. But what we can control is what we believe, in faith no matter which road you take. So which road will you take? The one that claims with gusto to be nothing more than a dead end filled with meaninglessness and emotional agony? Or the one that promises eternal life, overflowing with joy and the deepest form of satisfaction, to scratch that itch you cannot seem to on your own? They’re both leaps of faith. You can bet I’m putting my eggs into the basket that is not hanging by a dwindling, dying thread. I’m not staying in a world whose sun is destined to burn itself out. I’m going with my Father, who has promised me and you good things only, if we choose it.

The fact that anything moral, uniform or intelligent exist is not the result of natural, accidental evolution over billions of years. Let’s take DNA for an example. As y’all evolutionist, do you even sit and think, where did that code come from? How can nature possibly think of something so incredibly complex and perfect? How can nature even think at all? Anything of code cannot come naturally. Only from a mind. An intelligent creator who loves us and created you and me. There is not doubt about that. The fact that people are teaching children about this, and keeping it in textbooks is unbelievable. Evolutionist have been trying to create even the most simple proteins to life we have,, (which are still extremely complex) and have still not succeeded. They try, try again and nothing works. But still, it is presented in a text book, or a scientific classroom as fact. That fact that we even have science at all cannot come from something natural. So therefore, an unscientific theory should not be thought in a scientific classroom. Where you there billions of years ago when the supposed Big Bang or evolution occurred? Where you there to witness monkeys and chimps become human like creatures? And although Christians might not have been there, we have historical documents that god inspired man to write about his creation. All you have is a few bone. Give me an example of a fossil that is a mix of supposed human ancestor and human. And since you couldn’t be there to witness it, neither have you witnessed it in modern human history since it takes millions of years, you have to have a blind faith and hope that you’re right even though you can’t prove that.

[@geniscon5002]

@@kevinOneil6742 and that’s where you lack faith. As a Christian I believe that the Biblical writers, even though they were already very holy, were divinely inspired when they wrote their respective books. So although they technically wrote the books, God ultimately told them exactly what to include in his holy book to make his one big story. Crazy thing is, most the books in the Bible weren’t even united until after Jesus even though they are all connected in so many ways. It goes to show that the men and women who wrote the books really didn’t have a clue why they wrote certain things, God just told them to include things that didn’t necessarily make sense.

[@geniscon5002]

@@kevinOneil6742 he absolutely is, but the Bible is the word of God leading up to Jesus and Gods commands on how to live our lives. There is nothing in the world that can’t be solved by looking to the Bible, because it is complete. It no longer needs more books because it’s finished. But God still talks to people all the time. There are thousands of prophets worldwide who continue to hear God and preach what he has told them. And the Bible, along with what I already have said, holds all the ancient prophecies that are all almost fulfilled. The last prophecies speak of the end of the world. And now the new prophecies lead to the returning of the messiah, so we can continue to use the Bible as a map through life until then.

@@autumn702 LOL I would suggest you look up the definition for faith and trust (I'll give you a hint when you look up faith most likely trust will be used to define it and when you look up trust faith will be used as a definer for it). (I have observed God answer prayers for me, I have seen things written in the bible come to fruition etc...) and I am not the only one.

[@autumn702]

@@aaronowen4425 Words can have more than one meaning. In this context, "faith" means: "Strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof." I find that definition to be very apropos. And when I look up "trust" here's what I get: "Firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something." "Reliability" is a keyword here, because that's how science works, it is based on the reliability of evidence and test results, the ability for it to support a theory. If the evidence supporting a theory or scientific belief is no longer reliable and no longer has the ability to support it, and there is new, more reliable, evidence that contradicts, then the theory goes. Science. (And in case you're wondering, yes there are scientific beliefs, better known as hypotheses or predictions inferred and extrapolated from current evidence and data.) The reverse is true with religious books. If new evidence disagrees or dares to disprove the infallible truth of your chosen deity / deities, then the evidence goes. You can "observe" your god answering prayers (what about the times when it doesn't?) just like I can observe fairies moving my keys, or the right thing happening at just the right time (coincidence). Have things written in your religious book come to fruition because of some spiritual prophecy and divine intervention? Or was it because the religion's followers made it happen? Or was it coincidence? Remember: correlation ≠ causation. Or maybe it's apophenia. There's another word for you look up.

[@autumn702]

@@aaronowen4425 You do realise that words can have more than one meaning, sometimes with slight difference, which is implied depending on context? But if you really want to split hairs and cherry pick information, which I know Creationists are so good at, here's another definition of "faith": "Strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof." I find this one to be more apropos here. And let me look up the word "trust": "Firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something." That's how science works, not with blind faith. If a scientific theory is supported by evidence that is no longer reliable, or the evidence no longer has the ability to support it, then the theory goes and is replaced with a better theory that is supported by more reliable evidence. Science. (And yes, there are scientific beliefs, in case you begin to wonder. Better known as hypotheses or predictions inferred by current evidence and our understanding of things.) The opposite is true with any religious book and belief. If you find evidence that dares suggest your belief, your identity, is wrong, and the mighty infallible writings of your chosen deity is wrong, then the evidence must go. Science starts with questions to find answers, religion starts with answers and never questions it. So much for freewill. You can "observe" your god answering your prayers just like I can observe mice with fairy wings moving my keys so I can't find them. What about all the times your god didn't "answer" your prayers? Was it saying "no" or was it because you are praying to nothing? Every week I can "pray" for it to rain on Thursday, and every Thursday it doesn't until one week it does. Remember, correlation ≠ causation. And are those things in the bible coming to fruition because of divine influence? Or is it coincidence? Maybe it's the religion's devout followers making it happen? I sometimes see my favourite number appear in the world but that does not mean it has some spiritual meaning or any other signifigance. Apophenia would be another very appropiate word for you here. Look that up.

The argument that everything came from nothing without a creator is pretty weak, especially when you look at the incredible degree of engineering involved. That takes more faith than I have.

@@adama739 science doesn’t believe we came from nothing. We just do not know what that something was. When there is no proof of anything potential it is most reasonable to say “we don’t know” instead of saying “some powerful being created us just because everything happened to fall into place.” Which is not true everything happened by chance. We are here by mistake. If you know the scientific understand of how the universe came to be you would realize that everything was just by chance and it does not matter wether we live or die

[@prototypep4]

@@adama739 why is that? Is it because you don't understand the sheer magnitude of time? Or is it just incompatible with you that you are literally the product of chance and are not special in any way, shape or form? Here's the logic step you're missing. If the universe is too complex to exist without a creator, then the creator is too complex to exist naturally and thus must also have had a creator. If you try to argue god is unfathomable and can exist without a creator then why can the universe also not simply exist the same way?
