Bill Nye, known as the famous Science Guy, recently engaged in a debate in an effort to settle a question that everybody has been asking; where did we come from?

The debate, which happened at the Creation Museum and attended by 800 people, was staged after creationist Ken Ham challenged Bill Nye into a debate about the controversial topic. The challenge was issued by Ham after Nye published a YouTube video bashing the theory of creationism a few years back. When Nye accepted Ham's challenge, the excitement for the showdown quickly ignited all over the country.

"I don't see it as a debate to win or lose," Ham said to Mercury News "I don't believe people should go away saying 'Bill Nye won' or 'Ken Ham won.' I want to passionately deal with what I believe, and I want Bill Nye to passionately speak on what he believes."

Ham and Nye were given 30 minutes each to prove their points. Nye's major topic was the Great Flood, claiming that if the flood did happen some 4,000 years ago, then we should have 170 winter-summer cycles each year, for studies reflect that the Arctic has 680 layers of snow. He also said that there trees which are 9,500 years old, disproving the theory that the Earth is only 4000 years old.

Ham, on the other hand, focused on the observational approaches in science, and he used Darwin's finches as an example. "It's not that the evidences are different," Ham said during the debate. "It's a battle of the same evidence in regard to the past. That's really the difference when it comes down to it."

After both sides have finished their presentations, Foreman started the question and answer portion. The questions were written on cue cards.

The audience, of course, had mixed reactions to the debate. Samuel Schmidt, who came as Nye's supporter, said to Mercury News, "There's been a lot of talk about how this debate shouldn't have happened. He put himself out there, so I attended so there's not a whole audience against him".

On the other hand, Richard Rosenberger from Cincinnati, who is on Ham's side, said, "Once you believe in God's view, you shouldn't stray from that," Rosenberger said to Mercury News. "It's not a matter of agree or disagree, it's a matter of different points of view. I understand Nye's point of view, but it's not the word or God."
