The second unscheduled "debate" with Bill Nye "the Science Guy" occurred today in front of hundreds of people at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky. The first one occurred at the Creation Museum in 2014. A few weeks ago, I publicly invited Bill Nye to tour the life-size Ark that opened July 7, and I offered to personally show him through. Nye accepted. 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 2 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 again today 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 world views. 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." 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 2 hours of interaction like this? Young people also came up and spoke with Bill and asked him questions--and challenged him. When I mentioned AiG's PhD scientists, Bill said they were all incompetent--so I encouraged him to speak with them. I had opportunity to share the gospel with Bill a number of times as we strolled through the Ark. As we ended our walk through the 1st deck in front of life-size models of Noah and his family who were depicted 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 as he couldn't stop me. So while a large group of people were gathered around, I publicly prayed for Bill. I did ask him if we could be friends, but he said we could be acquaintances with mutual respect, but not friends. I never expected it would turn into a 2 hour debate--but sometimes those spontaneous happenings can be very fruitful and exciting. I'm sure you will be seeing video of the time we had together. Let's all pray for Bill Nye. I've included some photographs of Bill as we walked through the Ark--and of me (and others) praying for him as we stood in front of the praying family of Noah on the 1st deck (see photos). To me, it was so fitting that with the opening of the Ark Encounter, this massive ship is being used to witness to such a well known personality. We ended with a friendly handshake.
