I'm a theist and a believer in an old Earth and evolution. I think Nye won the debate handily because Ham's point of view isn't supported by logic or evidence.
There are many Christian literalists but also many, many Christians who believe as I do. The Christian site I frequent (not the same one referred to above) may be dominated by old Earth believers. The posts I've read over there agree that Nye won the debate.
Nye is a heavyweight and Ham a lightweight, so not a fair fight. I'd love to see Nye debate Dr. Francis Collins on the existence of a deity and how the universe came about. That would be heavyweight vs. heavyweight.
