Draw a circle as big as you can on a sheet of paper, that is all of the "true" knowledge in this world, in the universe!
inside that circle draw a small circle, about a quarter inch in diameter , that is what bill Nye knows,
now draw a smaller circle ,that is what Ken Ham knows!
Now tell me how either one knows anything or everything about exsistance in the universe, or even on the planet compared to all that is real and true?
Then explain why Albert Einstein believed, and if you think Bill Nye is smarter than him?
Then explain how any of it matters?
People believe what they want to believe , some for better, some not so much, I trust in the fact that whatever it is that is controlling my life, so far so good! I also believe that having faith in something bigger than your self cannot hurt you nearly as much as having faith in nothing at all,
All that said, I would bet that the earth is almost a hundred million years old , and that fact is relevant to my exsistance !
Einstein was a deist. Or an agnostic. Or a pantheist. Or a "religious non-beliver", all by his own admission.
His 'god' for lack of a better term, was strucutre in the universe. He believed in the "god of Spinoza", impersonal and non-interventionist, if it exists at all.
Some relevant quotes:
It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. (1954)
My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment. (1950)
I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being. (1949)
"I'm not an atheist, and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellation" (1949)
