Isn’t Ken Ham the business partner of atheist charlatan Bill Nye?
They grift with their Mutt and Jeff routine, dog and pony show.
I never even heard of him until now, so I haven’t a clue.
Pot, meet Kettle...
Tempest in a teapot.
Couldn't possibly be that Ham misunderstands the Bible, of course.
Amen Ken Ham!
Ken is one of the brightest Christian led men of our time!
God could also create dragons, fairies, trolls, magic, etc... But I don’t believe He did that, either.
Like most creationism evangelists, Ken Ham preys on the gullible for the money. Between his website (and on-line store) and his “museum”, I’m sure that he is living quite comfortably.
I have to agree with Pat Robertson here: young earth creationism makes Christians look really bad. God actually did *not* lie to us by filling the physical universe with evidence of great age and planting evidence that life not only evolved in the past but continues to evolve. Since God is not a liar, it is clear: the Bible is a moral code, not a scientific document.
The falsehood is that it requires “billions and billions” of years to form fossils, sediment beds, and such like. Exploration of the area surrounding Mt. St. Helens just a few years after the eruption found conditions which had the appearance of great age.
I have great respect for the personage Pat Robertson USED TO BE. But he has come off with some dingbat statements in recent years which indicate to me that it’s time for ol’ Pat to retire to his farm and whisper to his horses.
Purveyors of creationism are as dishonest about Christianity as they are about science. I have yet to see any of their claims supported by scientific *or* Biblical evidence. They get rich by hoodwinking people.
Petrified fossils are millions of years old, not 6,000 and to assert the contrary accuses the Creator of lying through the fossil record
God being the deliberate Author of Time and all things we lack the Wisdom and Authority to accuse the Him of anything. Accept his Authority and Power or reject it.
God Almighty is the single Being who can truly say: “Are you going to believe Me or your lying eyes”.
Mankind hasn't been on Earth longer than 6-10 thousand years.
Pot, meet kettle.
Wonderful point... in essence almost everyone believes in something. For those who do not, should they live long enough and not become bitter, they too generally contemplate the boundaries of Death, and while they may have never really lived, conversion to a faith usually allows them Peace in passing.
How many days weeks or months are in a God-year?
Does everyone think the Creator had a watch and a 365 day/12 month calendar year before the universe(s) exploded and started to expand?
maybe one universe lifespan is one God-year.
Read anything she posts at FR informed by that simple fact, and you will understand the perspective of the simple mind that holds forth as she does on any topic.
FReegards!
Well....except for his belief that he continues to peddle the notion that “on the first day” etc. actually refers to a single day, when quite clearly the Bible later explains that to God a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day.
