In their two debates, Bill Nye and Ken Ham agreed on many things. For example, they agreed that natural laws exist and have probably stayed the same over time. They agreed about the observations, and they agreed on the facts. They only disagreed on certain interpretations of the facts. So both Bill and Ken use the same scientific observations to come to their different conclusions. On the one hand, Ken said the following:

Creation is the only viable model of historical science confirmed by observational science in today’s modern scientific era.

Ken is saying observations point to the Creation event and the worldwide Flood event. On the other hand, Bill argued that observations point to a big bang, billions of years, and molecules turning into people without God. Since their conclusions conflict using the same observations, we conclude that something weird happens between observations and conclusions, and the debate was about this weird thing that happens.

Now we’ve discovered that this weird thing that happens is interpretation, and the two men came into conflict during the process of interpretation. They disagree about the conclusion since they disagree on how to interpret observations. They would agree with each other if they could agree about how to interpret observations. But Bill insists that assumptions are the key to interpreting observation, while Ken insists that revelation is the key to interpreting observation.

As part of his argument, Bill Nye claimed his assumptions “come out of experience.” However, Bill oversimplifies it. Assumptions don’t come directly out of experience. However, Bill is right to say that assumptions don’t come from nowhere since they come from worldviews, and we’ll explore this truth more fully in a coming trip of our journey, “The Problem of Worldviews.”

Keep in mind that God speaks to us through the Bible, and it’s by divine revelation that we know God speaks to us through the Bible. God supplies the truth by revealing it, and God supplies the discernment between His voice and all others. Our part is to listen, receive, submit, and obey.
