In hindsight, the criticism Bill Nye got for this debate was unwarranted
In the decade since in the US, belief in creationism has dropped while for the first time ever over half embraced evolution
Not saying that's entirely due to Bill Nye. Just saying it's proof the debate wasn't such a mistake
A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?"
Bill Nye said "Evidence."
Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this."
I think about that a lot.
