Bill Nye: Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children

[Dr.3D]

I guess most people are too busy arguing to watch a one hour video?

Why can't evolution be thought of as being the tool God used to bring about what we now have as life on Earth? Creation could very well have happened in six twenty-four hour days.

Those who want to know how this could be, should watch this one hour video.

Skeptics beware, the author of this video, Dr. Gerald Schroeder, has degrees in the following.
B.Sc. Chemical engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.)
M.Sc. Earth and planetary sciences, M.I.T.
PhD Earth Sciences and Physics, M.I.T.

So you can't say he doesn't know anything about science.

If religious people would stop asserting that God was the creator of everything, I would say that is possible. But even then there is not nearly enough evidence to convince me.

Why don't you just summarize it for us?

Why not let them assert God is the creator? That video explains very well how it is possible, everything in the book of Genesis could very well be true. There is nothing is science that can prove God isn't the creator.

It's too hard to summarize.... you have to watch the entire video from start to finish to really understand it.

He also expressed the importance of considering the position of your elected and future elected representatives on science. Can't say that I disagree with him on that.

I listened to the whole thing (thanks for posting the link) and that was one of the parts he discusses I had the biggest issue with. I don't see how you would ever really judge your vote on a candidate because of his science knowledge and or skills. Like I said it has become a religion and like religion I would rather you just keep it to yourself. Without a economy those scientist would not be able to get those nice tax payer government funded paychecks for the research they do. I think we have a heck of a lot of more important issues than just dealing with theories.

Fact: The Universe (our metaphysical existence) was created by SOME force (what it is, I do not know).

Fact: Genetic lineages adapt and through small genetic permutations IMPROVE their capability of surviving and procreating.

Fact: Creationism and evolution are both very, very real. The existence of one in no way deters any argument for the other.

I'm not to busy to watch a one hour video but ignorance is bliss. BTW, does it prove the origin of life is from evolution?

No... science doesn't know the origin of life. The video is all about science.

It can prove God isn't the creator of everything in existence. It can't prove that some God didn't create us. Even then, there is still not much evidence that we were created by someone.

Oh. Never mind my last post. I'll watch the video.

Sorry, I really don't want to watch a one hour video unless I knew it had a chance to be worth my time. And it really doesn't take an hour to explain this topic.

 

[Travlyr]

I find this to be the most interesting concept. Nobody knows the origin of life. It is okay to believe whatever is the most comforting.

It can prove God isn't the creator of everything in existence.

Science can prove that? How?

It's really worth an hour of your time. I really, really is. It explains how everything we have been taught in science class fits right in with the events of creation in the book of Genesis.

Fact: the universe was never created.

I don't have any problem with Bill Nye thinking this. He never taught it on the show he had, which I still think is awesome for children. And that is all that is important to me.

 

[erowe1]

Are you sure? I don't know. I remember the show, and I remember liking it. But I know that this is enough of a bee in his bonnet that it wouldn't surprise me if it got worked into that show.

 

[tttppp]

Science can prove that? How?

I meant in theory it can if it can prove the universe is infinite. I have my own theory on this. If it was proofed by a scientist, that can prove there was no creator of the universe.
