Bill Nye and Ken Ham are debating evolution vs. creationism (actually, the debate was on Tuesday).
This isn't about evolution vs. creationism.
What this is about is Richard Dawkins & Bill Nye.
Dawkins (outspoken atheist) has made it his policy to never debate with creationists because he believes it lends them a scientific credibility that they otherwise wouldn't have.
On the other hand, if Nye can demonstrate that science has more evidence in favor of evolution than creationists have in favor of creationism, he may score some converts.
So the question is this:
Is it worth while to spend the time and energy in a public debate on evolution vs. creationism, or does it just add fuel to an already silly fire?
