Bill Nye: Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children

[Natural Citizen]

This guy should stick to test tubes and stay away from philosophy or logic.

Can't say that I disagree with that. Perhaps not for the same reasons as you may but is a good meme in general. But it cannot be disregarded that change is taking place in a manner that divides two generations and at the same time in which they transist with one another relevant to dare I say an evolving infrastructure?

I mean, cripes. Kids are dabbling with the idea of transhumanism these days through a vast variety of platforms.

Kids find this stuff a little more fun to grasp-- A musical celebration of the wonders of biology including evolution, natural selection, DNA, and more. Featuring David Attenborough, Richard Dawkins and Bill Nye.

Look for these to have millions of hits in the coming months. Because they will. And it will be the youth who make it so. The same youth who fall alseep in Church or don't go at all are interested in this. Kids are on a different frequency than those who are products of a previous generation. Therein lies your battle.

"Your world just becomes fantastically complicated when you don't believe in evolution"

William "Bill" Nye

WIKI:

Nye announced his engagement during an appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and was married briefly to his fiancée of five months, author Blair Tindall, on February 3, 2006. The ceremony was performed by Rick Warren at The Entertainment Gathering at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Yo-Yo Ma provided the music.[47] Nye left the relationship seven weeks later when the marriage license was declared invalid. He filed a restraining order against Tindall after she entered their property to pour weed killer in his garden.[48][49] A few months later he acquired a six year injunction against her which required Tindall to stay 100 yards away from him. She violated the order in 2009 and Nye took her back to court to enforce it. The court ordered her to cover $57,000 in Nye's legal expenses. Nye took Tindall back to court when she failed to pay.[50]

Huh. Now that seems pretty complicated you prideful, smug, self-proclaimed dumb ass monkey.

Got any more words of wisdom that you think I should pass on to my children who you refer to as taxpayers?

Another lame little authoritarian monkey god telling people what to share with their children. Mind your own business.

Is that romper room?

EDIT: (I'm addressing Nye -to be clear)

Yeah, I don't know about Bill sometimes.

Has Science become a Religion?

Was just reading this paper and since you were the last person I remember asking something similar.... http://www.amitgoswami.org/science-religion-integrated/#more-172

He'll also be on the radio tomorrow night. Per the preview -- Theoretical physicist Amit Goswami is a pioneer of the new paradigm of science called "science within consciousness." He'll discuss his hypothesis that quantum physics holds the key to all the unsolved mysteries of biology --the nature and origin of life, fossil gaps of evolution, and why biological beings have feeling and consciousness.

Oght to be a hoot.

I don't know about the guy coming on before him though during the first hour. He'll suggest changes we could make to the school system. Amit Goswami will have the bulk of discussion at around three hours. So, two completely different discussions.

Your right about the analogy of the battle that wages in the child's mind and which will continue till the day they die.Where your completely misguided is which way of thinking is the best way to be.From what you wright .You appear to look at everything in a logical way,but too grasp what it is to be a true believer in God you need to broaden your mind to the possibility of it being reality,else you'll always only allow what you want to be the reality you've already accepted and you'll never take a unbiased look at the question.So you judge a believer for being a absolutist ,when you do the same with your denial of God.

My belief in God has nothing to do with creation,because i don't care on the details of how exactly life began,because that knowledge doesn't benefit me at all.To be truly logical i pursue to understand the things that may benefit me.This is where understanding of the purpose of life begins.The purpose that benefits the most is curing what ails all of mankind and that's human nature.

The freedom as a child too question life without the corrupted views of the world that society pressures the individual too adopt. The ability too see a situation from the outside and not be so self absorbed that you can't envision the point of view as others see it. The ability too see a thought of a desire in your mind that you know is not your own but entices and seduces your mind to follow its lust,then not being held captive by the feeling of hopelessness, of you being powerless against it. The ability to show genuine love towards others even when they've wronged you ,not allowing rage or bitterness to enslave your mind and consume your daily thoughts.

These are the things of knowledge which are worth pursuing that benefit the most.Understanding and conquering human nature can only come through faith in God's word.

If you have found God then great. I've always agreed that folks should return to things that are meaningful to them.

Others just continue to look is all.

I'm not sure. But my case would be more convincing than the OP's case that Darwinism has something to do with the future of technological advancements. Talk about a horrible argument. "We have to teach kids Darwinism because they won't understand architecture without it.". Wow. This guy should stick to test tubes and stay away from philosophy or logic.

If you think about it, engineering and biology are similar.
If you dont have a general understanding in the involved systems and the structure than how can you plan and build something?
Could you be a molecular bio engineer if you couldn't get by the fact that your job is watching bacteria evolve into a more useful version?

I think that is what he was getting at.


What I think is that we don't have enough information at this time to make a statement on the beginning of the universe, if it had one.

Far as the beginning of the earth and the solar system, we know how and when that happened. Science tells us.
We understand physics, we understand a type 2 supernova or better was needed to create the elements we see here now.
We understand that our sun is at least a second generation star because of this.

Genesis did not happen as written in any bible..

there are no brute facts.

I think you just stated one.
