For those of you who watched last night's debate, what did you think? Who do you feel "won" the debate?

Bill Nye should be more respectful of other people's beliefs, especially when said beliefs are related to the afterlife, which is a subject that affects people's feelings ...
It's been a while since I watched it, but I actually thought Bill Nye was pretty respectful of Ken Ham's arguments in the earlier part of the debate. The main thing I noticed was that it seemed that Ham had in fact answered many of Nye's questions later in the debate, but Nye pretty much ignored a lot of what didn't agree with his point of view. I felt that Nye easily won the first half of the debate, whereas Ham gained some footing for the second half of the debate, and especially during the Q&A section.

Overall I was a bit disappointed with the debate, however. I felt that Ham could have presented a lot more evidence in a scientific debate than he did, and was a bit more focused on an argument that was historically and theologically based than on something that was based on science. Creationism vs. evolution debates have been done much better than this.
hey quick relevant update, isn't there going to be another one soon?
That would be interesting to see.

Bill Nye definitely had the upper hand in my view the last time around.
agreed, I personally think bill nye is a great debater, especially since he used it as an opportunity to educate while the otherguy was dumbfounded and unable to really come up with a good response most of the time.
