- Bill_Nye–Ken_Ham_debate abstract "The debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham on the question "Is Creation A Viable Model of Origins?" was held February 4, 2014 at the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky. Ham, founder and chief executive officer of the Christian apologetics ministry Answers in Genesis (AiG), challenged Nye, a science educator best known for hosting the 1990s television series Bill Nye the Science Guy, to the debate after taking exception to a YouTube video featuring Nye lamenting the refusal of a large segment of the U.S. population to accept the Theory of Evolution. Tickets to the event sold out within minutes, and an estimated 3 million people viewed the event live via video streams on the Internet. During the debate, Ham advocated the legitimacy of a Young Earth creationist model of the universe's origins, while Nye cited observations from a variety of scientific fields to defend the scientific consensus that the Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old.Most scientists were critical of Nye for accepting Ham's invitation, claiming his participation in the debate gave Ham's views undeserved legitimacy, but two humanist groups – the American Humanist Association and the Center for Inquiry – praised Nye's decision. Scientists generally agreed that Nye won the debate, although they debated how convincing the victory was. Most Christian writers opined that Ham won, but conceded it wasn't his best performance. Ham later announced that the publicity generated by the debate had spurred fundraising for AiG's planned Ark Encounter theme park, allowing the ministry to begin construction.".
