Fundies declare Jihad on Bill Nye

[marmar]

from HuffPost:


Like the vast majority of scientists, Bill Nye 'the Science Guy' believes in evolution.

Last week, Nye posted this video on YouTube, entitled "Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children."

According to CNN, creationists have now "hit back" at Nye after his video went viral.

....(snip)....

"Time is Nye for a Rebuttal," Ken Ham, CEO of Answers in Genesis, wrote on his website. "At AiG and the Creation Museum, we teach children and adults the truth concerning who they are in the Creator’s eyes -- and where they came from." ............(more)

1. Was waiting for this, seemed to go under the radar.

Bill Nye is the science guy! How can they ..............sighhhhhhhh.

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. Yeah, was surprised it took so long.

[a geek named Bob]

2. it sounds like

Mr. Ham is whinging about the MASSIVE amount of butt-hurt he just picked up from Nye.

[etherealtruth]

3. Well, this is proof

The stupid really does burn

[Berlum]

4. Ummm, Fundie reBUTT (R) sounds so entirely unappealing

Republican Fundiecators need to stop seeing how low they can go. You know what I mean?

[randome]

12. Have you ever seen an elephant pee?

Conservatives today sound like they just don't give a shit!

(Kind of a mixed metaphor, I suppose.)

[Angry Dragon]

5. 'we teach children and adults the truth'

If they say it is the truth then they should have no problem proving it ........... I am sick and tired of people claiming their belief is the truth ........

added word

[Salviati]

8. Here's Bill Nye's video - view it and give it a thumbs up!

[malaise]

9. Fuck the fucking anti-science morons

Go Bill Nye. Drag them into the sixteenth century please.

[a geek named Bob]

10. The twisted thing

is that most of these fundies are in areas that are naturally hostile...

Without the benefits of science, they be DEAD.

[malaise]

11. Maybe we should withdraw all scientific advances

)including running water and inside plumbing) and leave them to Darwin

[a geek named Bob]

13. Much as I'd LOVE to...

They're still Americans, and I'll always do what I can, to keep the faith.
I'm weird that way...

My wife says this might be one reason I get along with certain Armed Service personnel.

[malaise]

19. I couldn't do it either

but sometimes I wonder if they need to be dragged out of the dark ages by any means necessary.

[a geek named Bob]

20. I figure they are all on a mass freakout

as nobody is buying into their nonsense anymore...

It's all over, but the shouting.

[Tom Ripley]

24. Yes, a dying monster will thrash about and make lots of noise during its death throes

[a geek named Bob]

25. The key will be containment

Their core is a bunch of 55+ scared guys in Ill-health.

The folks that leave the heavily tea party areas aren't a problem.
I'm betting that the nutjob coalition doesn't have that many replacements on hand.

just a matter of time.

(Great! I get to be a post-modern Ben Franklin/MacGuyver/janitor, to clean up the messes these turkeys left...)

[joeybee12]

14. Fundies are phucking insane...knr

[CK_John]

15. Nye is not the real target, the public education system is their target.

[Zoeisright]

16. Those are the same loons who got angry at him

when he said the moon reflects light from the sun. They actually believe that the moon emits light, because "it says so in the bible". Those people are so ignorant rocks are smarter.

[Tom Ripley]

17. Unless you are doing it for amusement, it really is pointless to argue with idiots

These anti-science morons are also hypocrites; they love electricity, automobiles, medical care, etc... but somehow evolution threatens their fragile self-esteem.

[a geek named Bob]

18. I agrgue with idiots

to slow down their viral stupidity...

[Canuckistanian]

21. Sure, bring it on, you brain-dead antediluvians

I'm sure the results will be hilarious.

Although on a whole other level it's sad to see so many deluded human beings of a supposedly advanced mental maturity actually believing this codswallop

[arely staircase]

22. well he is a science guy

and we know how they feel about science - confused and angry.

[Alduin]

23. I'm so fucking sick of the anti-science idiots in this country.

Fuck them all.

I love Bill Nye. I hope he keeps making those videos.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

26. As a long time fan of Bill Nye these fundies can go fuck themselves

Move to Saudi Arabia if you guys want a theocracy.

[Chorophyll]

27. Geniuses, they are.

Bill Nye's the best. Hopefully this "controversy" will introduce him to a whole new generation.

[Ilsa]

28. Ken Ham, et al, are the first ones I want to see dragged out

Into the flooding streets when Global Warming finally reaches critical mass and disrupts everything in our lives, especially food production.

[Warren DeMontague]

29. Best thing about Ken Ham is how much he resembles Dr. Zaius from "Planet of the Apes"

Hello? Irony!

[Tom Ripley]

31. OMG...that's probably why he's so touchy about that whole evolution thing

Seriously, I have long thought that evolution challenges its detractors very fragile self esteem

[exboyfil]

30. Depressing statistic

According to a recent Gallup Poll, 46 percent of Americans believe in creationism, 32 percent believe in evolution guided by God, and 15 percent believe in atheistic evolution.

[Permanut]

32. Well, he does have a bachelor's degree in applied science...

and an honorary degree from Liberty "University" (I can't seem to type that name without the quote marks). Those credentials would qualify him to explain to us the origin of life, all right. What a maroon.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

33. And Bill Nye's science professor was Carl Sagan.

The church says the earth is flat, but I have seen the shadow on the Moon, and it is round, and I have more faith in a shadow on the Moon than in the church.

---Attributed to Ferdinand Magellan, 1480-1521, but probably written by Robert G. Ingersoll.

We are made of starstuff. Carl Sagan told us this more than 3 decades ago in Cosmos. Neil deGrasse Tyson has repeated it.

It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is, than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. ---Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World

I wish that every child was required to read and to understand THE DEMON-HAUNTED WORLD, a book by Carl Sagan.
