That's why he keeps hiding behind the skankily repellant child-mind-rapist Ken Ham - a self-aggrandised authority touting the god squad party line.
I looked Ken Ham up and discovered that he's a Bachelor of Applied Science, with an emphasis in Environmental Biology. I was very interested to see who is criticizing him.
Ken Ham Reception
Quote:Other Christians, old Earth creationists, and the scientific community at large have criticized Ham's statements and tactics. Answers in Creation, an old Earth creationist website, has called Ham willfully ignorant of evidence for an old Earth, and said that he "deliberately misleads" his audiences on matters of both science and theology.[39] Astronomer Hugh Ross, a progressive creationist, has debated Ham and other Answers In Genesis staff[40] regarding the compatibility of an old Earth with the Bible.[41] BioLogos has also responded to Ken Ham's criticisms of its viewpoint.[42]
I haven't checked the qualifications of people who believe in Old Earth Creation, or Progressive Creation so I only know about Hugh Ross from the wikipedia article. The BioLogos Foundation was started by Francis Collins who led the Human Genome Project - he believes that evolution is the way God did it.
Seeing as highly educated people can wear blinkers in order to hang onto their religious convictions I've come to accept that nothing is going to change Revelation777's mind. I am, however, curious as to why he's opted for Young Earth creation instead of Old Earth creation or Progressive Creation.
Where are the snake and mushroom smilies?
