A Second “Debate” With Bill Nye, “the Science Guy”
by Ken Ham on July 12, 2016
Apparently Bill is the host of an upcoming science documentary and wanted to bring along a video crew as we walked through the Ark. It really turned into an almost two hour debate as we walked through all three decks of the Ark. We both agreed to video the entire discussion as we walked. Numerous children, teens, and adults swarmed around us as we passionately interacted as the audience grew. There were thousands of visitors at the Ark Encounter, and a large group of them had a unique opportunity I’m sure they will never forget.
Bill challenged me about the content of many of our exhibits, and I challenged him about what he claimed and what he believed. It was a clash of worldviews. At one point I asked Bill, “What would happen to you when you die?” He said when you die “you’re done.” I then asked him why he was concerned about what we were teaching at the Ark if when we die we’re “done.” Ultimately, why does it matter what anyone believes if, when we die, that’s it and we won’t remember we ever lived and eventually no one else will ever remember we lived either?
He also stated that it’s “not crazy to believe we descended from Martians.” I then asked Nye if it was “crazy to believe we descended from Adam and Eve?” We have his answer on video. Can you imagine two hours of interaction like this?
...
As we ended our walk through the first deck in front of life-size models depicting Noah and his family praying, I asked Bill if he would mind if I prayed and if I could I pray for him. He said I could do whatever I want since he couldn’t stop me. So with a large group of people gathered around, I publicly prayed for Bill. I asked him if we could be friends; he said we could be acquaintances with mutual respect, but not friends. We ended with a friendly handshake. Let’s all pray for Bill Nye.
