Bill Nye Science Guy—Really?




Recently Bill Nye the Science Guy made the comment that "Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children." He proposes that the next generation must be raised as evolutionists or they would be lost to science and thus culture would lose out. His comments may be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHbYJfwFgOU
 So here are a few question for Bill Nye the nice guy Science Guy.
Bill Nye
 Creationists are largely made up of those of Judeo-Christian faith.  That being so let us assume for the moment that you are right.  Let us consider all of the good that has been done by the secular evolutionist.
Was it the evolutionist that with deep conviction sought to abolish slavery?
Was it the evolutionist that started hospice which then lead to hospitals, hotels and motels, and yes, hospice today?
Was it the evolutionist that started humanitarian aid organizations like the American Red Cross, World Vision, St Vincent de Paul, and the Salvation Army?
Was it the evolutionist that began such academic institutions as Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Harvard, and many, many others?
Was it the evolutionist that gave to us a country built upon the ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
Was it the evolutionist that gave to us such science as the study of genetics?
Was it the evolutionist that gave to us such great music as Handel and Bach?
Was it the evolutionist that started and led the American Civil Rights Movement?
Was it the evolutionist that went to the Pacific islands and worked among the lepers?
Was it the evolutionist that gave us great literature such as Shakespeare?
Was it the evolutionist that gave us laws that protect the innocent and punish the guilty?
Now Bill, if you apply your scientific methods to these questions you will find that it was people of Judaism and Christianity that did these things.  There is not one objection you raise that cannot be answered by the Creationists.
For example, who is to say that God did not create the stars and as well the light radiating from those stars so that man might observe them though they are billions of light years away?
Was it the evolutionist that originated not a changing theory (which it is since it has to flex and change to be compatible when true science proves it wrong as it has) but an immutable law?  Such sound beliefs that they have not changed since Darwin wrote?  No, Darwin did not include billions and billions and billions of years in his theory.  That had to be added later when his basic ideas were found to be flawed and untenable!
Oh, let me ask you another question.  Were you there to observe evolution?  Have you seen it in action?  Of the 50,000 fossils or more that we have cataloged, where are the intermediary life forms?   
Here is another one.  What about man’s capacity to make informed choices, why have not other lower life forms evolved to do that?  Why is it that man alone has the capacity to make decisions with the outcomes in mind?
Then there is that matter of love which is not at all compatible with the notion of survival of the fittest.
Another question.  If all animals evolved as you say they did, then why are eye structures fundamentally the same in all species?
Oh, and is not all creation (nature to you) winding down to entropy (heat death)?  Now you want me to believe that evolution is the exception?  
But here is a much greater and more important questions for you Bill Nye.  What has been the effect of evolution?  What has been the effect of leaving God out of the equation?  What has been the effect of secularism—this notion that there is no higher power to which one is going to give an account?
When the 10 Commandments were posted and prayer offered in schools those things served to remind students that there is a God to whom one is accountable, how many school shootings were there?  How many drug deaths?  How many unwed high school moms did we have? 
Bill would you like another one?  Try this one.  The effect upon the world of the secular evolutionist.  How many of the following were people of faith in God?
Adolf Hitler and WWII – Somewhere between 50 and 70 million dead.  Six million Jews exterminated.
Mao Ze Dong – 49 to 78 million dead
Stalin – 6 million some estimates are 20 million dead
Pol Pot – 1.75 to 2 million dead
Kim II Sung – 1.6 million dead
These are but a few from the site http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/dictat.html
What about the creationist and the use of Biological and Chemical weapons?  Just was it the evolutionist or the creationist that made and employed those things?
You are concerned that Creationists cannot do good science.  Further, you are concerned that those coming up behind must be freed by evolution and its companion secularism or the next generation of scientists will be lost.
You should be more concerned with something else.  You see Bill Nye Science Guy, those kids will be the ones who live their lives unrestrained and unaccountable and will become the Adolf Hitlers, the Cyber terrorists, the Pol Pots, the school shooters, and the drug dealers etc.
Understand this one thing.  Without the God effect, 

There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death. (Proverbs 14:12)

The way of death is not just for the person for the death of one effects the many.
The genuine reality, the real deal truth is that Judeo-Christian faith has been in existence much longer, is much more durable, and has in greater measure benefited the world than anything the secular evolutionist can offer!
Bill Nye, Science guy, I am sure that you are a nice man but sorry, you are wrong!  The harsh truth is that any system to include man, left alone will not evolve but will devolve to chaos and eventually entropy.
