Some serious scientists.

That's not science, it's marketing.

I'm amazed that Freeper creationists are abandoning the Discovery Institute and Intelligent Design and throwing their weight behind the geology and paleontology equivalent of alchemy instead of sticking to the Wedge Strategy.

Ham just sent a shot across the bow in the creationist movement, and the Discovery Institute ain't happy.

Here's David Klinghoffer, who runs the Discovery Institute, the main center of Intelligent Design:

Regarding that Creationism Debate Pitting Bill Nye Against Ken Ham, Here's My Guilty Admission

More seriously, I would like the world to get a good look at a genuine creationist: what he says, how he argues, what questions animate him. It's been among the more dishonest tactics of ID's critics to paint intelligent design as just another shade of "creationism." The more people watch Ham debate Nye, the better they will be able to appreciate the stark contrast between advocates of intelligent design and those of creationism.

So even the Intelligent Design advocates are worried, saying "No no! Don't lump us in with those crazy Young Earth creationists like Ham, please!"

Look I totally agree that while I know that the Bible is true,

to use real scientific evidence (which if the Biblical account is true should match up with the Biblical account; and does) is a MUST.

Ham might be a good evangelist, but is a poor scientist. I’ve been to his creation museum in KY, and got that it was basically an evangelism tool (which is important), but doesn’t have much hard science.
