* HilariousInHindsight: Four years after this episode first aired, Ken Ham, a fundamentalist Christian former science teacher who founded Answers in Genesis ([=AiG=]), a Christian apologetics ministry devoted to young-earth creationism, challenged Creator/BillNye to a debate on evolution versus creationism after the latter lamented the large proportion of the American population that continued to believe in creationism. The debate was hosted at Ham's Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, and was live-streamed on [=YouTube=]. The debate largely left the question of creation versus evolution unsettled in the minds of the American public, and though Nye is generally seen as having "won" the debate, he was criticized for giving credibility to [=AiG=] by accepting the debate to begin with. For his part, Ham claimed that the increase in donations to [=AiG=] helped fund a life-sized replica of Noah's Ark for the Creation Museum.
