Meh - I don't care who wins, and debates like this happen all the time and it's not like this is going to change anything now ...
I'll still watch it though because it's interesting.

The only thing it might change is how much$$$$$ Ham gets for his museum, ark project, and website.

I'm just now watching this thing. Christ, Ham really doesn't have anything other than "we don't understand things, but here's the bible," does he?
But then, I guess when ticket prices are the only motivating factor for the debate on his end, the actual content doesn't really matter.

His museum is falling on hard times. I read a story somewhere, they are losing money, because no repeat customers.

Why would they have repeat customers? They've already assumed they have all the answers, so there's no research being done, no discoveries being made, and no new exhibits coming in. There's no vitality in the creation museum, because the thing that fuels real museums, discovery, has been discarded in favor of self aggrandizing back patting.

Well, it is a business that requires money to keep the doors open.

Well considered; however, I can't help but think that the curator's position at this museum was given to the asshole that could envision a saddle on a triceratops.

Oh well, good thing we have youtube... now watching (ahem) listening to it...
Oh, welcome back Stat. How did that surgery go?
Didn't I once give you a proper paper detailing that deleterious genetic mutations are filtered out in some 20 generations, on average? I thought you had understood it.

I'm embarrassed to say I fell asleep when Ham started his rebuttal (I'm not even joking) I'll have to watch it again
