No, FAITH does not need "FACTS" for support. THAT is the whole point! FAITH is not based on facts. FAITH is based on tradition or Holy writings, no more, no less.
However, "science" really should be based on FACTS, or at least definitive theories. So, the "scientist" is severely restricted in what he can claim.
Simple, isn't it...
You must be spending a lot of time at Faith Chapel.
You're right- it really isn't a debate. The main thing for me is that Bill Nye easily showed that Young Earth Creationism has nothing to do with science or reality.
If someone wants to believe in the nonsense of a 6000 year old earth, let them. But don't try to teach kids that it's science.
Bill Nye was quite respectful of religious beliefs - he even used it as an argument that billions of people have religious beliefs but don't believe in a 6000 year old earth.
Were does the Bible say the Earth is 6K years old?
Were in the Bible is a day (yom) limited to 24 hours?
I think the question goes a bit beyond the scope of the discussion of the foundation of creationism. We know about the existence of the earth and we believe it came from a higher power. If you don't believe that basic foundation, then it won't matter how I answer that question. It would be a waste of our time.
don't try to reason with weltschmerz... it's mission impossible
