Probably early High School or Middle School.

So back on topic, is this Ken guy for or against creationism being taught in public schools?
I mean if he agrees that all the evidence for creationism comes from the Bible, then surely he would be against it being taught in public schools right? Or does he not believe in separation of church and state either?

I really don't remember exactly and curricula have probably changed since I was in school. It's one of those things that I just assume everyone knows about since Hitler is one of the most significant historical figures.
As I understand it, people like that believe the bible is a solid history book full of facts so there is no issue with using it for history or science classes.

Hmm, I thought the tradition of gift-giving is based off the three symbolic gifts baby Jesus received from the Three Wise Men on the night of his birth - gold, incense, and myrrh.

Wow, and yet for some reason I bet those same people would flip their shit if the Quran was being taught in the same way in public schools.

That's because the bible is true and the other religious books are not, duh.

Yep, and that seems to be the crux of this debate. They (creationists) interpret the Bible literally and believe it is infallible.
That's why I thought the whole debate was kind of silly for Bill Nye to accept. He is absolutely not going to change Ken's mind (his entire career and livelihood riding on this) and he is unlikely to change the minds of any other creationist believers (they may have built all their life's decisions around these religious beliefs).

Let this be a lesson to you. Don't try to think.

Generally speaking, the sum of all human knowledge is available on the internet.
I don't think you are making the point you intended.
Honestly though, until you refute anything that's being said, you're just a hindrance. Restating the positions presented to you and adding a question mark at the end isn't an argument.
