3rd qtr. 2nd post "Evolution / Creationism debate"

Great job on your posts last week.  I will be entering your participation grade every Friday in powerschool.

The last couple of weeks we have been discussing topics within our unit on evolution.  Tim U. sent me this link yesterday and I have made it the focus for this post.

Go to the link below and watch some of the recent debate of Bill Nye and Ken Ham on evolution vs. creationism.  It is quite long so feel free to dip in anywhere and view a segment.  What I would like you to do in the blog post is to identify one argument presented by either man that you find intriguing, agree with, disagree with, or you simply had not heard before.
