For anyone interested. The debate starts about 12 minutes in so skip through.

I'll make time to watch this ~ I've been reading that some people are angry with Bill Nye for giving Ken Ham any credibility by simply agreeing to even debate the subject ~ but I love Bill Nye and his no-nonsense approach to all things "scientific" ~ thanks for posting this, pic ~

There is something to the argument that debating this give credibility where it is not deserved. As I asked elsewhere, would we debate whether the Earth is flat or round?

At the same time, I can't find fault with Nye. He is attempting to show people why the creationism line of thinking is false.

Maybe he succeeded. The following poll is from christiantoday.com:

I think Bill Nye was a good choice to go up against Ken Ham. He's friendly and non-threatening and delivers his message about science in terms understandable to the religionists in the audience, possibly planting a few seeds of rationality and curiosity to learn more.
