The difference is, Nye, being an actual scientist, is going to be limited to actual truthful statements, while his opponent will be free to bullshit
Nye: "I base my ideas about the universe on the things I actually see in it."
Other: "Do you know exactly what caused everything to exist?"
Nye: "Of course not. This is a very difficult subject, and we need much more information before we will be able to answer this question."
Other: "Oh then you cannot absolutely disprove the Bible's accounts. . ."
Nye: "The Biblical account seems very unlikely for reasons 1, 2 and 3."
Other: "Were you there?"
Nye: "No, of course not. I'm not 14 billion years old."
Other: "Well, then. . . ahrrrmm. . . it sounds like you're just making stuff up."
Nye: *gurgling in rage* "Arrrghh. . . are you freaking kidding me?" *Goes full nerd rage, discrediting himself in the eyes of "rational" Christians *
