I believe in ID, but don’t necessarily buy into all that Ham says.
That being said, I think Ham DID make a good case for creation being a worthwhile model.
Nye also did a good job for his side.
I had to quit watching after a couple of the Q&A questions...had to go to bed. But I got the feeling it was a draw; most of the time I watch those thinking the ID proponent won.
Well, here’s a video of the entire debate if you missed some of it:

ID is NOT The same thing as Young Earth Creationism. My problem with the Young Earth Creationists is that they want to diminish God by forcing Him to comply with HUMAN time. The Bible says God created the world in seven days, but was that seven HUMAN days, or the unknown time GOD set for creating the universe, and all in it? And for those who believe the Creation story; which one applies to the Young Earth Creation idea?
God gave us brains to use, and to learn, and to lead us closer to Him. If our knowledge has led us to understand the world around us, and that means being able to estimate the age of the world around us, why would some persist in ignoring that knowledge in favor of a very narrow HUMAN interpretation of the creation of the world?
