    Part of me thinks that when Bill Nye debates Ham in public that all he's doing is legitimizing Ham's position, and anyway we're all in on the joke, but it's just not that funny anymore.

I suppose that there are some insulated youth that might stumble upon the debate and get something from it, but by and large, you are able to be swayed by scientifically gathered evidence or you are not. In some sense, each party is being disrespectful to the other.
