The Bill Nye debate has created some controversy between Ken Ham and himself. In light of the heavily debatable topic, SMBC comics (Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal) created this laughable comic strip indicating how the debate would have sounded if it applied to history.
For those of you who may not know what the debate was about, it was a debate between evolution and creationism. The debate focused on Bill Nye discussing the origins of the earth, animals and humans while Ken Ham's group runs the museum dedicated to creationism. Ham argued that every human being is descended from Adam and Eve and that God created man and everything that occupies it. It was a heated debate that got a lot of coverage for its opposite viewpoints.
The Bill Nye debate comic strip argues about revolution but still carries a lot of the same characteristics as the actual debate. It is a much more animated debate.
