If Bill Nye accepted this invitation, it gives the creationists far more exposure than they deserve.
Remember, if you wrestle a pig, you both get dirty, and the pig enjoys it.
Because only talking to the people that agree with you will win you converts............ This is the same bullshit attitude with politics today. "They don't agree with me, they are wrong, evil, stupid, crazy and I'm not going to talk to them."
You know how Christianity spread throughout the world? By Christians going out and talking to the people that didn't agree with them. Every time they were met with hostility, violence and torture but in the end, in most countries they brought people to their religion with compassion and patience. Not many atheists go to warlord controlled countries to delivery medical supplies while unarmed and unprotected. Christians do and that resonates with people.
All I ever see from the atheists like you is vile, hateful rhetoric aimed at shaming and hurting people. You know what that makes me want to do? Ignore you. But since I myself am a Christian I'm taking the time to post this out of compassion. I know you'll mock and ridicule me but I don't care. I'm still reaching out and engaging int he discussion, on your terms, in your arena. Can you say you do the same?
