Fair, yeah. I was just having this discussion with my roommate ... it's unclear to me what we can really do about creationists, or how much of an impact they're having. Also, you can't really change someone's mind just by telling them they're wrong. So I dunno.
Definitely agree. This debate was ridiculous and proved nothing. It shouldn't have happened. But now it's transcribed so you can see the ridiculousness.
Had time to view about half of it. The transcription was helpful. The ridiculous nature reminds me of helping some my 8th graders learn about math topics they just aren't ready to hear yet. Many of them make strides and put the facts together. Most every class will have kids that cannot see the Pythagorean Theorem at this point in their development, but given time some will make sense of it, or at least see the value in it.
