Musket,

Ham is on national radio in this country making his claims several times a day. This debate and the publicity from it has done a lot more for Nye than for Ham. People who might have heard Ham on the radio got to hear and hear about how his "theories" compare to science.


A lot of Americans grew up watching and trusting Bill Nye when it comes to science. Nye got to defend science and repeatedly make his case for science funding in the schools.


It would be nice to live in the idealized country where esteemed personages such as yourself can banish unwanted perspectives simply by saying "bollocks!" Here in America, especially in the Bible belt, things are not that simple.
