I ended up watching the whole thing purely because of the creationist guy. what a fool he is.
I was under the impression the debate was to help viewers decide on the school program in a few states, am I right?
if this was so, the science guy was, to me, a bit stupid.
he probably didn't pass half of his science facts or thoughts to the audience.
for someone who has a scientific culture and an appreciation for knowledge, hearing him say a couple of words should be enough to get the meaning of his idea. however, it seemed he was being watched by a bunch of rednecks that didn't understood shit.
The creationist connected much more, when he told those lame remarks "we got a book that explains all that" etc the audience was with him. pretty sad for the scientist.
I would have liked to ask the creationist where is all the water from the flood? he prob would have bypassed as usual
