A fascinating face-off between creation “apologist” and “the science guy.”

Almost half of the American population believe in creationism in some form or another.

I am not one of them.

But then, my religious beliefs are up in the air altogether. I was raised in Christian Science where (despite the “science” part of it) going to a doctor is frowned upon, but dentists and eye doctors are okay. Suffice it to say, while I consider myself spiritual, my upbringing made me question—yet intrigued by—all religions.

That’s why I wanted to watch this debate with best-selling Christian author Ken Ham and Bill Nye, the Emmy Award-winning science educator and CEO of the Planetary Society. It took place at the Creation Museum.
