Remember Bill Nye, who wants global warming skeptics prosecuted for the sake of his peace of mind?
Well now, Nye went to visit Ken Ham at Ark Encounter in rural Kentucky:
Ark Encounter features a full-size Noah’s Ark, built according to the dimensions given in the Bible. Spanning 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high, this modern engineering marvel amazes visitors young and old. Ark Encounter is situated in the beautiful Williamstown, Kentucky, halfway between Cincinnati and Lexington on I-75. From the moment you turn the corner and the towering Ark comes into view, to the friendly animals in the zoo, to the jaw-dropping exhibits inside the Ark, you’ll experience the pages of the Bible like never before.
Nye ‘The Science Guy’ told The Washington Post that his takeaway from the visit was that the kids were being ‘brainwashed’.
He added: ‘This could be just a charming piece of Americana, just something — I recently used an app called Roadtrippers that takes you to odd or unusual places…but this is much more serious than that.
‘This guy promotes so very strongly that climate change is not a serious problem, that humans are not causing it, that some deity will see to it that everything is ok.’
Everything is ok for Ham because he got $millions in free publicity for Ark Encounter out of this.
They’d be more ok for Nye if he just minded his own business.

Meanwhile,
Since its announcement in 2010, the ark project has rankled opponents who say the attraction should not have won state tax incentives.
A protest was held outside ark on Thursday and hundreds gathered with placards that read ‘A tax-payer funded flood of lies and hate. What a disaster!’ and ‘This fable won’t float’, while people chanted ‘One, two, three four, we don’t want your ark no more.’ More.
Ark Encounter is not tax-funded. The state incentive is favourable tax treatment for creating jobs in an area of high unemployment.
The protesters could, of course, get the same favourable tax treatment if they created jobs in a rural area.
Encounter requires employees to indicate their belief in young Earth creationism, which could be contentious. But then again, if We Don’t Want Your Ark No More! won tax incentives for creating jobs, they would doubtless expect to be allowed to hire people who agree with them.
Nye is certainly adapting well to his new career as a pill.

“Nye ‘The Science Guy’ told The Washington Post that his takeaway from the visit was that the kids were being ‘brainwashed’.”
You mean the empty jacket with the bow tie who robotically regurgitates global warming propaganda is worried about brainwashing?

So true!
Fulfillment of biblical prophecy as well:
This almost sounds like he is referring to Lyell’s uniformitarianism:
If so, it is clearly debunked here.
Nye claims, “You brainwash,” (To him it makes sense.)
For, all kids need schooled in his evo-mat tents.
He keeps himself relevant
Like the room with its elephant,
Losing his way in hyperbolic comments.
Schools herd the kids (with the best of intents?)
Into myopic views of the god called science,
But those kids at Ham’s ark
Didn’t get there by lark.
Familia Primum! (Kids taught by the ‘rents.)
Nye is just another depressed and unsatisfied hater of religion, especially Christianity. He will always have an audience of foaming-at-the-mouth atheists, but who cares about them anyway? I sure don’t.
Funny. It is like the deniers in Noahs day. I presume all ID folks agree with Noahs launch! Just kidding.
BRAINWASH. Is that the articulate word for someone expecting to reach the American public??
You could put it other ways. In fact he is just saying teaching Christian doctrines, for many, is brainwashing!!
Its not brainwashing. Its a articulation in spatial terms of a conclusion based on confidence in the historic ancient bible. Its a historic opinion and quite common still.
At least AIG can say a celebrity came. STAND where Bill Nye stood kids. Watch your brains.
Are not almost all fossils found in sedimentary rock?
The operative word here being “sedimentary”.
Yet, we also find dinosaur footprints in stone.
How can this be? Usually, when walking in mud, the next rain storm washes away any footprints. What caused these to bake into stone?

Yes fossils/life must be preserved in a heap of sediment. So what probably happened is the dino steps were imprinted and covered instantly. Not washed away. It shows how powrrful the sediment loads were deposited from sudden distances.
