Bill Nye, Creationism is Highly Appropriate for our Children



If you are teaching kids that God created the world, you're destroying our future, according to popular children's personality Bill Nye.

Nye's entertaining persona as "The Science Guy" captivated a generation of young people, and continues to generate a love of science through tapes and syndication.  I use him, as do many other educators, and thank God for such persons who can teach complex ideas in engaging ways.

Perhaps, though, I should thank blind chance instead. After all, a worldview that posits God as the universe's cause "is completely inconsistent with everything we have seen in the universe" and "there's no evidence for it,"  as Nye explained in the above YouTube rant.  Apparently, belief in science precludes belief in a Creator God.

Please keep in mind that situations like this do not come down to the ignorance of Bill Nye to the indisputable evidences for design in creation.  It is not a matter of presenting Nye or other clergy of the naturalist faith with sound logic.  What we have here is a human being who is like the rest of us before Christ - confused, doubting, and reluctant to come to the truth while trying to convince himself that he already has the truth. Converting an evolutionist to some form of deism is not the goal; the goal is to see the lost soul converted to life.

With that in mind, Answers in Genesis published a response to his charges on the web.  They also prepared the following video response:


P.S. - You'll notice that ratings and comments are disabled on YouTube for this latter video.  Seeing their tentative grasp on a false reality slipping, insecure people attack, creating a bottleneck in fruitful discussion (if there is such a thing as "fruitful discussion" in the YouTube comments section).  Ken Ham reports the following concerning this:
Here is what is sad. Many secularists descended on Dr. Purdom's Facebook page with vile comments--probably one of the worst attacks on one of our Facebook pages ever. It just goes to illustrate once again how intolerant these people are. Remember that when you hear they were banned from our Facebook pages. Also, it is a reminder of how insecure they are. They don't have evidence to support their view so they often attack in a most vicious manner.

RE: "Pastor Dayna Muldoon EXPOSED"

It enough to make your heart ache.  "Pastor" Dayna Muldoon  has been pitching her tent in Florida, and like Todd Bentley before , false claims to miracles, healing, and prophecies litter her campsites. This video of a Calvary Chapel pastor exposing her as a false prophet has been appearing in various places, and its been uploaded to YouTube multiple times.  Even Todd Friel got animated about this , and nothing gets him hyper. Here's the deal: Muldoon set up her tent-meetings right down the road from Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg , peeking the interests of many attending the church.  When they listened to the message she presented, however, they found it not to be the Gospel, but instead the typical narcissistic message of health and blessings from God. This is coming from a Calvary Chapel crew, folks that are typically non-cessationists themselves.  Many churches, including this particular Calvary Chapel , host after-glow services where one expects similar claims

Was Rebekah a child when she married Isaac?

Did Isaac marry a three-year-old?  If you've never pondered this question, it's because nothing in the straightforward reading of the text would suggest that Rebekah was a toddler or that their marriage was arranged. Even so, a couple of verses out of context could be used by skeptics to prove anything.  While perusing the web for a related topic, however, I found a thread stating that the Bible isn't against the raping of children .  The cited evidence was this issue, the claim being that Isaac engaged in pedophilia. The question comes from the fact that Genesis 22:23 announces the birth of Rebekah after the binding of Isaac.  Tradition states that Isaac was then thirty-seven, and Scripture says that the two wed when Isaac was forty (Gn 25:20).  Hence, Isaac robbed the cradle. The whole theory is fraught with assumptions, the primary being that Scripture never records a age marker for Rebekah.  Further complicating the matter, however, is Jewish tradition, which spe

The five points of calvinism are Total depravity (total inability), Unconditional election, Limited atonement (Also called particular redemption or definite atonement), Irresistible grace (also called efficacious grace), and Perseverance of the saints. Full sermon http://www.gty.org/resources/sermons/90-427 Romans 8:28, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren. And these whom He predestined, He also called. And these whom He called, He also justified. And these whom He justified, He also glorified."
