So I suppose this is kind of different than if a prominent biologist were to debate Ken Ham. ![]() Now Bill Nye isn’t a scientist, he’s a mechanical engineer, and an entertainer/science popularizer(he was on “Dancing with the Stars” not too long ago). The way I see it, it is no different from a geologist debating a flat-earther. Creationism is not science, it is not an “alternative” scientific theory. It makes creationism look more legitimate than it really is, when in reality there is nothing to debate. Generally speaking, I do not believe that scientists should debate creationists. As the pro-evolution Sensuous Curmudgeon graphically put it “Bill Nye will be bringing a slide rule to a knife fight.” ![]() I originally thought it was going to be a disaster for Nye who isn’t known to be a skilled debater. I have little to add here that hasn’t already been said, except to say that I think Bill Nye did a superb job of defending science and evolution. As I am sure many of you know, Bill Nye “the Science Guy” debated creationist Ken Ham on the topic of evolution a few days ago.
