Because it's disingenuous. The show is supposed to be a science show to convey and depict scientific discoveries in a visual, entertaining manner much like Planet Earth did a while back. At least, that's how I interpreted the advertisements.

I'm no bible thumper nor a creationist nor an intelligent design supporter. But I am against the brick throwing by both sides when it's obvious neither are going to give in. The show is not an avenue for winning the debate. It's not going to sway staunch creationists or even passive evolution-deniers.

The best path to educating an audience is to just teach and not engage in superfluous debate when it's been proven time and time against that the creationist-side is not going to budge at all. I mean, I live in Alabama. I have plenty of fundie-Facebook friends, and many of the watched the Ken Hall/Nye debate and lit up the news feed that night with plaudits for Hall's owning of Nye and the atheist demons that are trying to persecute Christians.

They're hopeless. Just present the facts in an interesting, entertaining way.
