Post-Debate Commentary of the Bill Nye-Ken Ham Creation-Evolution Debate
The responses on Twitter to last night’s debate on evolution between Bill Nye and Ken Ham seemed to heavily favor Bill Nye and his science-backed performance. While Twitter can not be said to reflect a true picture of everyone’s overall reaction, we thought we’d share a few of them just for fun. If you missed it, you can also watch the debate via YouTube below.

You can’t say “you weren’t there” & then say “our guy was & he told a guy who told a guy who told a guy who wrote it down.” #NyeHamDebate

Ken Ham is trying to ram his square peg beliefs into the round hole of science . Creationism is NOT science. Faith is not evidence. #NyeHam

I imagine if God was really watching over us, and if he was watched the #creationdebate , even he would be siding with Bill Nye.
