To an extent, I get that. I just happen to think he's wrong. If I debated someone about the validity of gay marriage (I'm for it) and they asked me what would change my mind, I'd probably say "nothing." I think most of us have those core values that we're not willing to leave. Doesn't mean that we shouldn't be willing to look at them and challenge them, but realizing that there likely isn't anything that would change it.
Oh, yeah, that's totally fair with respect to gay marriage and other questions of values/morality. It's not fair when arguing against the validity of science (the age of the Earth, the literal truth of The Flood, or what should be taught to kids in schools in this case).
Interestingly, Bill made the point a couple of times that there were millions of Christians in the world who believed in The Bible and who read it more allegorically, i.e. were not Young Earth Creationists.
