Ham and his ilk are so delusional, they don't understand what constitutes evidence, let alone scientific evidence.
It's an amazing display of Cargo Cult behavior.
Military airmen building landing strips in jungle areas observed natives fashioning air traffic towers, landing wands, and helmets, and performing rituals to coax down the same Sky Beasts the airmen did. It's not unlike what's happening here:
Ham and co. believe they can dress up in lab coats, use words like "theory" and "scientific," and their imitative theatrics are equal to empirical scientific enquiry, when they don't understand the mechanics behind what they're imitating.
You mean all the convincing evidence he rejects out of hand because it doesn't line up with his irrationally literal interpretation of the Bible?
I assert the sky is purple, and reject any evidence that contradicts my claim. Provide me convincing evidence the sky is not purple.
