But so far, the most important aspect of Nye v. Ham has been overlooked &#8211; which misconceptions our Arbiters of Real Science feel compelled to champion, and which ones they\u2019re content to let stand.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>At CNN, Nye <a href=\"http:\/\/religion.blogs.cnn.com\/2014\/02\/04\/why-im-debating-creationist-ken-ham\/\">explained<\/a> that he agreed to this debate because to \u201callow our students to come of age without the knowledge gained through the extraordinary scientific insights and diligence of our ancestors would deprive them of understanding of nature and our place in the cosmos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time the Science Guy\u2019s weighed in on scientific controversies. In October 2012 he <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2012\/10\/07\/bill-nye-paul-broun-science-space-technology_n_1947125.html\">deemed<\/a> Rep. Paul Broun as \u201cby any measure, unqualified\u201d to sit on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology because of the Georgia Republican\u2019s (admittedly ridiculous) comments about evolution, embryology, and the Big Bang theory. And he\u2019s also gone on TV to <a href=\"http:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2011\/08\/30\/bill-nye-is-the-anti-science-guy-when-it-comes-to-global-warming-and-hurricanes\/\">affirm<\/a> man-made global warming.<\/p>\n<p>But, oddly enough, it seems he has nothing to say about a particularly egregious fallacy, which is far more widespread and does far greater harm than any misconceptions about our planet\u2019s age or climate. The modern study of embryology has reached an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abort73.com\/abortion\/medical_testimony\/\">abundantly clear consensus<\/a> that the individual life of a distinct and whole human being begins at fertilization. As Dr. Maureen L. Condic, who teaches neurobiology, anatomy, and developmental neuroscience at the University of Utah, <a href=\"http:\/\/online.liebertpub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/scd.2013.0364\">recently wrote<\/a> for the peer-reviewed journal <em>Stem Cells and Development<\/em> (hat tip to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/human-exceptionalism\/371009\/exposing-baloney-stem-cell-sophists-wesley-j-smith\">Wesley Smith<\/a>), \u201cembryos are clearly organisms\u201d because:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Embryos develop in a predictable manner toward a species-specific adult form (human embryos do not mature into mice, monkeys, or tumors). Embryos repair injury. They adapt to changing environmental conditions. Most importantly, they show coordinated interactions between parts (molecules, cells, tissues, structures, and organs) that promote the survival, health, and continued development of the organism as a whole; that is, interactions that are characteristic of \u2018\u2018an individual constituted to carry on the activities of life by means of organs separate in function but mutually dependent: a living being,\u2019\u2019 (www.merriam-webster.com\/medlineplus\/organism; accessed 6\/23\/2013) [\u2026] ethical consideration is given to human embryos based on the status they already possess; that is, their unique and fully operative ability to function as a human organism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But, at the cost of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalrighttolifenews.org\/news\/2014\/01\/abortions-top-56-million-since-roe-v-wade\/#.Uv_UfF7Pblv\">over fifty million needless deaths<\/a>, one side in America\u2019s culture war remains committed to denying the scientific reality. American abortion law is based in large part on the <a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/blog\/the-case-against-roe-v-wade-and-planned-parenthood-v-casey\/\">woefully unfounded judicial determination<\/a> that \u201cthe difficult question of when life begins\u201d was not answerable through the \u201cdisciplin[e] of medicine\u201d &#8211; and one of our two major political parties operates from that premise to this day.<\/p>\n<p>While seeking to be elected as the most powerful man in the free world, Barack Obama <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.lifenews.com\/nat3855.html\">said<\/a> it was \u201cvery hard to know what that means, when life begins,\u201d so he hadn&#8217;t \u201ccome to a firm resolution on\u201d the question. His science advisor, John Holdren, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2009\/07\/29\/nat-5296\/\">wrote<\/a> that a fetus doesn&#8217;t \u201cultimately develop into a human being\u201d until well <em>after<\/em> birth, when he or she has had \u201cearly socializing experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ex-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shakesville.com\/2008\/08\/speaker-pelosi-on-when-life-begins.html\">denies<\/a> that \u201canybody can tell you when life begins.\u201d The leader of their party\u2019s political arm, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, <a href=\"http:\/\/cnsnews.com\/news\/article\/debbie-wasserman-schultz-saying-life-begins-conception-extreme-and-radical\">calls<\/a> it \u201cextreme and radical\u201d for legislatures to confirm that life begins at conception. In Connecticut\u2019s 2012 Senate race, both parties nominated people who <a href=\"\/news\/ct-senate-candidates-say-life-begins-at-birth-dont-expect-the-science-police-to-call-them-out\/\">believed<\/a> that life didn&#8217;t begin until birth. Sen. Barbara Boxer <a href=\"\/news\/powerful-video-reminds-us-only-one-definition-exists-for-when-life-begins\/\">thinks<\/a> life doesn&#8217;t begin until \u201cyou bring your baby home\u201d or \u201cwhen your baby is born.\u201d Sen. Dianne Feinstein <a href=\"http:\/\/www.feinstein.senate.gov\/public\/index.cfm\/press-releases?ID=7929e31f-7e9c-9af9-7110-e57e6ec4f98f\">based<\/a> her opposition to Judge Samuel Alito\u2019s Supreme Court confirmation in part on Alito having \u201ca different interpretation of when life begins\u201d from<em> Roe v. Wade\u2019s<\/em> false one.<\/p>\n<p>The special-interest group they\u2019re all pandering to, the abortion industry, does all it can to reinforce these notions. Planned Parenthood\u2019s health expert, Dr. Vanessa Cullins, <a href=\"\/news\/are-women-considering-abortion-informed-not-if-planned-parenthood-can-help-it\/\">claims<\/a> that because scientists \u201chold very different views about when life begins,\u201d so there\u2019s no way to be objectively sure whether it starts \u201cwhen the egg is fertilized,\u201d \u201cwith birth,\u201d or \u201csomewhere in between.\u201d And Live Action\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/rosaacuna\/\">Rosa Acuna<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/inhuman\/\">Inhuman<\/a> investigations have documented abortionists and abortion-clinic staff misrepresenting numerous aspects of fetal development to their customers. Planned Parenthood college outreach members have even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/blog\/shocking-video-planned-parenthood-reps-tell-students-to-ignore-science-abou\/\">told students<\/a> to ignore science when considering abortion, far more explicitly than anything Ken Ham may advocate.<\/p>\n<p>These fallacies run rampant in the media, from pro-abortion activist Katie Klabusich <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/witw\/articles\/2014\/02\/11\/the-view-from-the-barricades.html\">telling<\/a> the <em>Daily Beast<\/em> that \u201clife begins at conception\u201d is a belief of \u201cbiblical fundamentalists\u201d to MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry <a href=\"\/news\/abortion-backer-melissa-harris-perry-life-begins-whenever-you-feel-like-it-does\/\">claiming<\/a> that the question \u201cwhen does life begin\u201d depends on \u201cthe feeling of the parents [\u2026] but not science.\u201d Atheist biologist Richard Dawkins <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianpost.com\/news\/richard-dawkins-claims-unborn-children-are-less-human-than-pigs-stirs-firestorm-91911\/\">goes so far<\/a> as to say \u201cany fetus is less human than an adult pig.\u201d Atheist biologist PZ Myers flatly <a href=\"http:\/\/scienceblogs.com\/pharyngula\/2009\/03\/17\/the-fertilized-egg-is-not-a-hu\/\">argues<\/a> that &#8220;the fertilized egg is not a human life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After the debate, Bill Nye went on Bill Maher&#8217;s show to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/bill-nye-maher-rail-against-creationism-we-can%E2%80%99t-have-%E2%80%98scientifically-illiterate%E2%80%99-kids\/\">bemoan<\/a> the dangers of raising \u201ca generation of students who are scientifically illiterate,\u201d which he said deeply concerned him &#8220;as a patriot.&#8221; Sadly, he apparently considers the manifestation of scientific illiteracy most in need of a Science Guy &#8211; because its danger is the most immediate, ongoing, and literal, and because it permeates the highest levels of American government and is prevalent in our media and public schools &#8211; unworthy of his attention as an educator, and the rights of abortion&#8217;s victims irrelevant to his self-professed patriotic duties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m not sure if it was the novelty of a childhood icon wading into contentious waters or genuine passion for the subject matter, but the creation\/evolution debate between Bill Nye the Science Guy and Creation Museum head Ken Ham has captured a surprisingly large amount of the nation\u2019s attention.
