Their reasoning on the T-Rex issue is kind of confusing: "If this dinosaur was designed to eat meat from the very beginning, what would he have to do before Eve ate the apple? Fast and pray for the Fall! Does that seem very likely?" Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that begging the question? Of course, Nightline's arguments aren't flawless either. When the young creationists talk about people living for eight or nine hundred years, and then they say that there were seven generations of these people, Nightline shows a chalkboard graphic with "800 years X 7 generations = 5,600 years." What moron came up with this calculation? A generation these days is considered to be roughly twenty years or so, but this doesn't mean that people live to the age of twenty and die. Even if people did live to be eight hundred years old, it is very unlikely that they would be having children for all eight hundred of those years (or for even most of that time). Even if you extended the child-bearing age to one hundred years old, you could still easily fit seven generations in a thousand years. I'm not necessarily trying to argue this point, I'm just saying that the simple error here kind of makes Nightline look stupid. I'm sure not a few scientists cringed when they saw that.
