Which means that anyone willing to attend will be paying a $25 attendance admission fee to the museum, which is owned by Ham. And is losing money. A shot in the arm financially for his museum, and a buttload of free publicity (even if you didn't watch "Bill Nye the Science Guy" as a kid, Nye was on a nationally aired, extremely popular television show this year, and a lot of people watch "Dancing With the Stars").
It's a pointless debate. One participant is concerned with answering the question "How was the universe created?" while the other is concerned with answering the question "Who created the universe?" If they can't even agree on a topic to debate, why bother having a debate at all?
It should be noted that Nye, I believe, has not confirmed that he will, in fact, be debating Ham. I hope he hasn't/doesn't. A good discussion of this can be found on Joe Hanson's tumblr, It's Okay To Be Smart (embedded links seem to be acting up. Here's a URL: http://tmblr.co/ZboZKy13IQ_u9).
