When I was in 8th grade, my family moved to Cedarville, OH. I attended public school, and I was aware that my science teacher believed in Evolution. I found a T-Shirt and bought it on my own that said, "I believe in the big bang. God spoke and bang it was." One day during vocabulary review, my teacher called out, "You, you Christian." I started to read the answer at the exact same time that another boy in the class, Nathan Christian, began to read the answer. Whoops! I didn't know his last name at the time, but I was quickly told by those around me who heard me start to answer. I was willing to take a stand for Creationism and God. Today, Ken Ham is being called to do take a very public stand on February 4, 2014.
Bill Nye is going to debate Ken Ham at the Creation Museum in Kentucky. The topic is, "Is Creation A Viable Model of Origins In Today's Modern Scientific Era."
Having been to the museum twice myself, I can attest to the fact Ken Ham focuses on how important verifying the book of Genesis is. Without holding to a literal seven day creation doctrine, one is cracking the very foundation of the Bible. It's tantamount to blowing holes in the bottom of the Ark and expecting it to float.
With that being said, Ken has done extensive research regarding kids who are raised in the church and are also taught evolution without any valid scientific support for creation. The result is many end up leaving the church. His book, Already Gone, details those findings.
In order to help children see how much scientific evidence is available that supports a Creationism Worldview, the Creation Museum is allowing children free admission into the Creation Museum with a paying adult for the entire 2014 year.
Here's what Ken Ham has to say about the upcoming debate on his website.
“This year, our AiG theme is ‘Standing Our Ground, Rescuing Our Kids.’ Having the opportunity to hold a cordial but spirited debate with such a well-known personality who is admired by so many young people will help bring the creation/evolution issue to the attention of many more people, including youngsters.”
Ham added, “I hope to show Mr. Nye and our debate audience that observational science confirms the scientific accuracy of the Genesis account of origins, not evolution.”

Here's an article I did in response to Bill Nye last year:
"In another couple centuries I'm sure that worldview won't even exist. There's no evidence for it. "
