Dawkins, from what I understand, doesn't want Nye to debate because he isn't a biologist. He got his BA (or his BS I don't remember) in engineering. He says that first off there is nothing really to debate, and that if a peson debates something they are in a small way saying that the other side...

Well I have met people who think that alchemy is real, that it's possible for the Sun to revolve around the Earth, and that people deserve to be stoned &/or people get things like cancer to punish their parents. So I no longer assume that people are joking online when I see something like that.

Sorry, I just can't tell a person's tone from online.

@DaDad Sorry, I thought you had been refering to this "I remember seeing a documentary back in the late 90's about this scientist who owns an island and turned it in to a theme park filled with dinosaurs, they had a couple of glitches with it as I recall, probably something to do with windows...

You didn't really provide a source to follow. You just gave a short discription of a documentary.

Just wanted to tell everyone to keep posting! it's interesting to see other views on this. But I have to ask Are you being serious? You're basing your idea of dinosaurs and people living at the same time on a cartoon? Sorry I have a hard time telling if a person is kidding or not online...

@Iforrest Okay thanks for clarifying that saying. The book of Job is my least favorite book of the entire Bible. :(

I don't know where this is in the Bible, or if it's in the Bible actually. But, I would like to ask how this can be true, when for many that's not the case, such as the case of Baby Brianna. So, if anyone would care to explain I'd appreciate it :) Also, on previous threads I have created, I'm...

Not going to lie, I'm kind of sad not more people posted on this :( but I know these things take time. In light of the comment above, I went back to the the free dicitionary. com (with the section focusing on legal matters) and I found that in my haste I did leave a part off. So here is the...

Oh this is going fabulously! :wub: I love all these different views. However, I would just like to add Forgery: The creation of a false written document or alteration of a genuine one From what I've been able to read it seems that people are using the usual copyist mistakes in the Bible as...

I can't tell a person's tone online, are you being serious or sarcastic?

Science has taught people this.

I would never troll, but since you don't know me you wouldn't know that. I have just one example of the Bible being added to, because again I am still learning about this. John 7:53-8:11 The story of Jesus and the adulterous A large portion of Bible scholars agree that this has been added...

Extinct before humans existed.

Probably not. Bill Nye is too cool to back down. Plus, it would really help his cause to further science education, and to keep creationism out of science class rooms.

I've only begun to learn about this, so I am by no means an expert :P But I found this very interesting, and there are Bible scholars who have found that there is a chance that people have forged parts of the Bible. Also, there are parts of the Bible that were added later too! What do you...

I've met, not on this particular website, people who believe that dinosaurs and people coexisted.They didn't, dinosaurs had already been extinct.

Yeah, I sometimes interchange non-literal and poetic, so that's my bad. Just because he is now an agnostic does not mean he is not knowledgable on the topic.

Actually there are, have you ever heard of the historical critical method of reading the Bible? If you haven't check it out, it's pretty cool. There are scholars who believe more in this method, in not taking what is said literally and looking at the people who wrote, how the time period they...

@lukethreesix I looked at it from a literal standpoint yes. But I personally think the Bible should be read as non-literal. I think most of it was meant to be poetic when they wrote. I think you're explanation is best. That the creation story is more non-literal. God had to show us both good...
