Anyone else watch the debate? Here's my summary: Ham spent the entire time name dropping and claiming logic circles as proof, Nye spent the entire time making bad jokes and slightly missing the point of questions.
My beliefs are firmly at the Bill Nye end of the spectrum, but this debate always makes me think about the various science vs religion debates. In my eyes, the only time science and religion are mutually exclusive is if you take the bible (and other religious books) and being word-for-word literal truth. If you assume that the bible is mostly metaphor and moral example (that was written by man, translated by man, and interpreted by man, so there might be some error), then none of it disagrees with modern science.
