Ken Ham, head of Kentucky's "creation museum" admits science and logic can't help him...

[Archae]

So he says only the Bible is right.
All scientists are wrong.

You cannot convince people that evolution is false with logic, according to the founder of the Creation Museum in Kentucky.

In a 60-second radio ad released Thursday, Answers in Genesis President Ken Ham admitted there was no scientific evidence that conclusively demonstrated that evolution was a lie.

But that didn’t mean there wasn’t solid evidence that evolution was a lie. The solid evidence just wasn’t scientific.

“We have solid proof in in our hands that evolution is a lie: the Bible,” Ham explained. “You see, we can’t depend solely on our reasoning ability to convince skeptics. We present the evidence and do the best we can to convince people the truth of God by always pointing them to the Bible.”

1. It's all faith.

Just believe. Don't think.

2. He needs to make sure he does not seek modern medical treatment

Evolution is the basis for all modern medical care, because evolution is the basis of all biological science.

so fundies who want to insist on their bible view of the world should put their lives where their mouths are and forgo medical treatment because it's not in the bible, either.

they can rely on faith healing.

3. Ken Ham's Lysenkoism for the 21st Century.

I am sure Ham would be interested and amuses in that particular chapter of history and the decades long setback that resulted, even today in the former Soviet Union. But I doubt he would get the irony.

In other words, Ken Ham is a fucking lunatic.

4. Ooooh! Maybe he'll come back again so Warren D can write another epic PPR message for him!

Mr. Ham, you are a manufacturer of misinformation, a peddler of falsitude, a veritable Iron Chef of unmitigated bullshit. You should be ashamed of yourself, sir. Not for being wrong- no, far better and brighter folks than you have been that- but for stubbornly and willfully plugging your ears to logic, critical thinking, and literally mountains of objective scientific evidence-- even as you use the products of science, reason and critical thought- like, oh, computers, electricity, and cheesy animatronic museum exhibits- to further misinform and de-educate. Im sorry that reality- actual, objective reality- is so in conflict with whatever 2 dimensional sunday school cartoon youve got playing on a loop in your head. The truth is, however, at the end of the day you are WRONG. Wrong on the facts. Heres a clue: Many good people are perfectly able to reconcile their theology with proven Scientific fact. If you cant, one of those things is logically wrong. And its not the science.

5. Ken's a lost cause for humanity

6. Van Tillian presuppositionalism...

...don't ask.

[defacto7]

7. We present the evidence and

do the best we can to convince people the truth of God by always pointing them to the Bible.


Why?

9. In Ham's case, I think it's pretty cut-and-dried.

$$$.

Ham is making a fortune off his Bible-thumping science-denying.

[defacto7]

10. You may be right,

But do you think he consciously is taking the public for a ride for the money? A lot of bible preachers do that but when I listen to him he doesn't sound that smart or manipulative. He sounds like he's brainwashed by his own religion by wrote and practice... and also makes bucks on it. I doubt he would retire to Denmark and write a book on religious mythology.

11. I put Ham in the same category I do Robertson.

He may actually believe his own drivel, but he loves all the ca$h that is rolling in.

8. Science and logic can't help him keep his "museum" open, either

12. Strange

Isn't it strange that these hypocritical conservative religious moralist nuts can so easily preach against divorce and then go and readily divorce themselves from reality?

13. I'm ashamed to say he's an Australian.

We're not all like that.

14. Let's do the best we can to convince people the truth of Sauron by always pointing them to LotR.

15. Obamacare should give people an option...

at age 30, you can decide to pay $5/month and have people pray for you when you get sick. It's irrevocable.

Or... you can pay a reasonable amount for modern, scientific care.

16. Mr. Ham himself (Hamself?) has been known to troll DU on occasion, in threads like this one.

Big fun, big fun.

Hi, Ken!

17. Belief gets in the way of thinking.

18. I can't believe I saw a billboard in Michigan advertising this creation museum...

19. That guy is so stupid on so many levels...
