Krazy Ken Ham: Why I'm debating the 'Science Guy' about creationism

<snip>

I also look forward to the opportunity to help counter the general censorship against creationists' view of origins. While we are not in favor of mandating that creation be taught in public school science classes, we believe that, at the very least, instructors should have the academic freedom to bring up the problems with evolution.

Even though the two of us are not Ph.D. scientists, Mr. Nye and I clearly love science.

As a former science instructor, I have appreciated the useful television programs that he hosted and produced, especially when he practiced operational science in front of his audience.

Our young people — and adults — should be aware that considerable dissent exists in the scientific world regarding the validity of molecules-to-man evolution.

FUCK YEAH! And while we're at it lets be sure to teach the facts about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny too..

Hey and what of the "facts" about Harry Potter and his plan to turn us all into Satan Worshippers!

And what about the "fact" that Obama wasn't born in the U.S.

And the "fact" that there is no global climate change!

Dammit these poor Christians are so persecuted that they have to go on TV and debate a childrens science show host!!! The Horror!!

...in the eyes of his existing supporters. Anything short of Ken Ham grovelling on the floor at Bill Nye's feet, screaming "How could I have been so wrong!?" will be spun as a great victory.
