Ken Ham/Bill Nye debate

For evidence to be proven it requires an interpretation of data. It is within this interpretation that a thumbs up or thumbs down is introduced. All information involving humans is at some level subjective. When enough people support a certain interpretation then it is accepted as being so (thumbs up), normally the stronger or more organized group having the final say. It doesn't take much science to prove fire can burn, just put your hand over a flame and that's pretty solid evidence. It's much more difficult when the same principle is applied to more sophisticated inquires.

No argument here, but that still is not evidence for a supreme being in the place of scientific discovery. With man's growth comes expanded knowledge, and sometimes that knowledge challenges past ideas. Remember however, that Copernicus was charged with heresy, not with advancing the knowledge of man beyond past observations.

As for the "big bang" I look at it more as a door to which we have no key than "the beginning of everything". The beginning of this iteration of this universe is not necessarily the beginning of everything. In fact, there is some evidence that time existed before the big bang. So there was possibly something. If you want to say that God is behind that door, who am I to argue. But if you want to say that the earth was created before the stars, woman from man's rib ,or that this universe was created in six days some 6000 years ago, I have plenty of evidence to the contrary.

Can someone give me a two or three sentence explanation on what the argument is about?

Waski, I'm surprised that you don't believe creationists can be scientists - science encompasses so much more than just when and how our world began.

Actually, I said that creationism is not science. I am well aware that there are scientists who are creationists.
