Yeah that answer just plays into Ham's spin.
Quite. He should've explained that if we only relied on seeing things happening to acquire knowledge, we wouldn't know any history and we wouldn't be able to solve any crimes. We aren't relying on things happening now and assuming that it has always happened. The general consensus of the early earth is quite different than what it is now. But to be fair it's always a lot easier to come up with better rebuttals after the confrontation.
