Okay, I'll be honest, I'm deleting this because it offends me, but at the same time, think about it: this is not a website for radical atheists to bash religion and/or the Bible.

* ''Crushing'' Ken Ham in a debate on evolution. It's so clearly in Nye's favor that even other creationists called it the debate equivalent of a CurbStompBattle for Bill. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6kgvhG3AkI It has to be seen to be believed.]] Along with that, Nye gets a whole load of bonus points:
** ''Crushing'' Ham in his own "museum" (which teaches that which is demonstrably false as it if it were factual)
** And also ''capsizing'' the myth that the story of Noah's Ark in the Bible actually happened.
** And making sure Ham's attempt to gain publicity for creationism backfired.
** To put this in perspective, scientists have refused to debate creationists for years for a few reasons. First, it lends legitimacy to the idea that there even is a debate. Second, creationists often use dishonest debate tactics that can frustrate people who are unprepared for them while seeming legitimate to people who don't know better. Some people worried Nye would be tripped up by common creationist debate tactics designed to be repeated rapid-fire so an opponent doesn't have time to counter them all (commonly called the "Gish Gallop" after creationist Duane Gish, who specialized in the technique). The well-known script gave Nye plenty to study and work around.
** The incident left Ham's ego so badly bruised that, over a year later, he was ''still'' trying to counter Nye's arguments, leaving him a laughingstock in the creationist community. Bill Nye ''demolished'' Ken Ham.

-> '''''Bill:''''' Here, I-I’ve got an experiment for you. Safety glasses on. By the end of this century, if emissions keep rising, the average temperature on Earth could go up another 4 to 8 degrees. What I’m saying is, ''the planet’s on fucking fire!'' ''[lights globe up with a blowtorch]'' There are a lot of things we could do to put it out. ''[motions towards a towel, a bucket of sand, and a fire extinguisher]'' Are any of them free? ''NO, OF COURSE NOT!'' Nothing’s free, you idiots! Grow the fuck up! You’re not children anymore. I didn’t mind explaining photosynthesis to you when you were 12, but you’re ''ADULTS'' now, and this is an ''ACTUAL CRISIS, GOT IT?'' Safety glasses off, motherfuckers!
