Today at 2pm Eastern time I will be a guest on the Canadian radio program, the Drew Marshall Show<\/a>. Please do tune in to listen, whether on the radio if you are in Canada, or online. The topic will be the recent debate between Ken Ham and Bill Nye.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Joel Baden has a great piece in the\u00a0Huffington Post<\/em><\/a> about the selectivity with which young-earth creationists embrace what is in the Bible. Here\u2019s a sample:<\/p>\n

The Bible contains multiple accounts and ideas of creation. Anyone who claims otherwise is simply not reading the Bible. A creationism that is centered entirely on Genesis 1 is not \u201cbiblical,\u201d any more than a creationism that insists upon a primordial battle between God and a series of giant monsters from whose bodies the seas were created.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019d like to suggest that we stop referring to \u201cyoung-earth creationists\u201d and be more specific, calling people like Ken Ham instead \u201cyoung-earth Genesis 1 minus the dome no-primordial-conflict-with-a-dragon creationists\u201d or something like that.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another key point from the article: \u201cThe way to defeat creationism isn\u2019t to fight it with science, but with a weapon it will respect. Creationism is defeated with the Bible. It\u2019s one or the other \u2014 both can\u2019t be right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others<\/a> have also been blogging about the debate and its aftermath. Libby Anne expressed objections<\/a> to those who responded to straw man versions of creationists rather than the views creationists actually hold. And Ross McKenzie offered<\/a> some explanations with links on the topic of how we know how old the Earth is.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to tune in later<\/a> to hear me, together with Jonathan Ryan (of Geek Goes Rogue, the guy who came up with the #HamOnNye hashtag), on the Drew Marshall show<\/a>!<\/p>\n
