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.
