Most high school students know exactly who Bill Nye is. He’s a science-loving, bow tie-wearing, somewhat goofy guy who occasionally was brought into the classroom for a nice mix up to the science curriculum. On February 4, Bill Nye and Ken Ham, a well known Young Earth Creationist, had a debate on Creationism hosted at Ham’s Creationism museum. Ham stated that he truly believes that the world was made only 6,000 years ago and that all the animals that are alive today are the result of Noah’s ark rescuing them. Nye, while not discrediting Ham’s beliefs altogether, explained how evolution works and how carbon dating can tell us that the earth is over 4.5 billion years old. Although Ham did have the home field advantage, most people believe that Nye took home a win.
