Logical fallacy and rhetorical argumentation and theistic insanity, oh my!

Oh my godddddd. I'm watching the recent Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate, and this Ken Ham guy is just a... he's been talking for 15 minutes but HE HASN'T *SAID ANYTHING* YET! Stop quoting Bible verses, dummy! A point cannot be rationally supported by simply citing its precipitating assumptions over and over! "Biblical creation makes sense because of so-and-so reasons laid out in the Bible," REALLY!? Ya think!? Ambiguous fallacy here, presumptive fallacy there, circuitous rhetoric everywhere... I'm going to openly court irony here and just say JESUS CHRIST, Ken! This thing was over before it even began - though, of course, that's a rather moot point, given that theism and science inevitably intersect at mutual-exclusion anyway. Still... funny to watch, if only to be reminded that some elements of human intellect are truly so far gone that they can only ever hope to save themselves.
