The president and CEO of Answers in Genesis says the biggest obstacle today
for his organization is not the issue of evolution vs. creation, but the
"old earth vs. young earth" debate.
"If you think about it, it's everywhere," says Ken Ham. "If you go to to
zoos, you will see 'millions of years.' If you turn on television, you'll
hear 'millions of years' much more than you hear evolution."
Ham says when secular media comes to the Creation Museum, they usually do
not ask him questions about evolution. Instead, they ask Ham to explain why
he believes in a young earth and why he says dinosaurs lived with people.
"The reason the age is such an important issue is, from a secular
perspective, if you don't have millions of years, you can't postulate
evolution,” Ham explains. “Think about it: if you believe in a young earth
as we do -- 6,000 years on the basis of adding up all the dates in the
Bible -- evolution is impossible. It can't happen."
While that may be the stance of secular media, Ham points out there are
people -- even in the church -- who have issues with the belief that earth
is only a few thousand years old.
"For Christians, there is such a pressure on them that if you don't believe
in millions of years, you're [considered] anti-science and all the rest of
it, and they don't want to look intellectually inferior," he shares. Ham
believes the problem began when older generations were confronted with the
issue, and many of them felt it did not matter and said the only thing that
mattered was Jesus. He says younger generations took that approach and the
mindset became consistent, resulting in the debate being experienced today.
Ham made his comments recently on American Family Radio's Nothing But Truth
program while attending the National Religious Broadcasters convention in
Nashville, Tennessee.

Wrong . YEC's base their age on modern science which the Bible
happens to recorded before science confirmed it.... as is the case
with many other scientific processes that the Bible recorded some
3-5,000 years ago that modern science finally confirmed as true.
There is irrefutable evidence for a young earth if you care to do a
google , go to www.answersingenesis.org , or a number of other fair
and non biased Sources. Are you willing ? Or, are you going to
listen to the brainwashing of millions and billions ....including a
206 bone human ultimately came from a pond protozoa from accident for
no reason .?
AIG fair and non biased? Surely you jest.

Does it hurt to be that stupid, Dave?
No, the biggest obstactle for his orginization is that no 'facts'
exists of creationism.
None.

Bullshit, Davie.
But then, with you, it's not a surprise.

The only way that YEC is correct is if atom bombs and nuclear power
plants and nuclear medicine don't work, since they're all based on the
same facts that prove that the earth is over 4 billion years old.
JD
Actually, no, it has not confirmed by science, just the opposite, science
confirms the 4.5 billion year age. You have been corrected on this before,
and thus you are lying, yet again. That website is also lying, as you well
know.
Damn. I'd buy tickets to that.

"Modern science" includes radiometric dating which has provided the
answers to the earth's age to around 4.5 billions years. Ignoring the
laws of physics won't make that fact go way.

If Ham reckons this to be the case, then this raises a big problem
regarding the number of animals on the ark.
Modern science doesn't support a young earth.

You could frame this vaguely as
Ken Hamm vs Hugh Ross.
Ross promotes himself well, travels widely
to promote his worldview, is interesting. Hamm
seems a little creepy to me, but I don't know
the guy. Ross over reaches and apparently
contradicts himself a bit (in his Bible
expertise). Creation magazine and Creation
Tech Journal are interesting, but Ross does
not really have a comparable, readable
magazine.
Evolutionism and their "long age dating"
has been shattered recently --the mtDNA
mutation rate study actually CONFIRMING
the Mosaic Account of Creation (dating).
And the grudging admissions by evolutionism
believers that..YES..there are red blood cell
products in some dino bones (which had
been claimed to be "65 mya"). Now, that
figure must collapse and telescope to...no
older than a few thousand years --again
confirming Mosaic Creation.
GOOD ONE.
Stick with God Jehovah.
Old Earth, young man.
6 days = 42,000-year creation before Adam

God is miracles not magic,
that's why Magi & magicians are not regarded as Christian.

Each time this happens, the Mohoravic Discontinuity layer a mile thick
between
crust and mantle melts down and creates a tsunami of magma lava under
the crust
that goes out under ocean and comes back under land.
It will happen again. Mountains will remain above the ocean during
that year.
Impact can only be guessed at, but if dates were possible, a good
guess is the
fact that the 365-day calendar of 2030bc was created to accept the
fact we have had years of 365 days
and leap days since the last impact (2370bc Julian Nov 20).
The calendar of 365 ;leap days in 1460 years arrives the 3rd time
around this year.
The dates of Noah are:
2370bc Julian Nov 20 =Gregorian Oct 31
a rain of 40 days over America starting this day and ending Dec 30.
Buut that 40 days reaching Noah in Surrupak 7 days later while he
packed 2370bc Julian Nov 27 = G.Nov 7
while lasting there 40 days to Jan 6 of 2369bc (Julian)
which is Gregorian 2370bc Dec 17.
The middle date used for astral purposes was Julian Dec 17=G.Nov 27.
These dates are the same 365-day calendar this year only.
and change after the 2012ad leap day.
Gregorian is a +13.
Meaning astral impact Julian Nov 20 is our G.Dec 3
and Noah's 40 days Nov 27 = G.Dec 10
and Jan 6 Venus epiphany = G.Jan 19 of 2012ad
THIS IS NOT A PREDICTION OF IMPACT ON DECEMBER 3
nor Dec 10
However, the death of the holy ones if they seek a date to die
will be followed by immediate 40-day rapture to appear only to
their chosen survivors which implies the asteroid hits when they leave
their
visit to Earth as Jesus left in 40 days. and as the angels who left
Sodom
be they two men sent by Shem Mekchizedek or two spirit beings
materialized.
***The earth was determined to be millions of years by examined of a
rock which does not belong to the earth.This fraud has been in
propaganda,a laughing stock to junk scientist eversince.It was
Patterson who said that after he examined a Meteorite,in the 50s.Since
you are so utterly mis-informed,surely you are no science students,and
all that you have written,are utter rubbish.
Science made discovery that the earth is young.
Thus carbon-14 is God Jehovah's word that 6-day (144-hour)
creationists are NOT his legal court attorneys and will be put to
death in CONTEMPT OF COURT. They do not go to heaven because Jesus
says they are virgins who cleaned up their literal fornication and
literal drunkeness, but they sleep wasting their oil lamps and fail to
get into the kingdom to be his wife in rqaising all humans back from
dead to life as the human chidlren of Jesus and his special bride.
The hour is here, the slaughter is here. The bride does not see she is
the Lamb to be slaughtered.
She does not see the churches will slaughter her again as they
slaughtered Jesus,
and that the government does it for them (the churches who FCK over
the govenrments).
The bride merely thinks the hour comes where the churches die by
government, and she
does not realize she creates the situation by court trial against her
as Jesus had.
I am the groomsman, I bring the bride to Jesus, the bride that Jehovah
has chosen for his Son.
If I am John, then my head being beheaded leads the way as it did for
Jesus.
Like Jonah, I fear this thought, I do run, have ran, tried many ways.
But even Jesus said if
your will be done another way, please let it be that way. I am not so
fortunate to get instant rapture resurrection
as she does, yet I like all humans require her as The Lamb, or no one
ever lives again. Humans become extinct.
Disgustingly, the wicked praise themselves for slaughtering those who
were the inventors.
Thomas Edison slaughtered Tesla.
So Edison didnt save you, Tesla did. Judas didnt save you, Jesus did.
Creationists do not save you when they kill the birde of Jesus, it is
the bride who saves you,
she gathers herself in trial to die, and she doesnt need to do this.
BUT LIKE JESUS she chooses to.

gee. i did that. didnt see a single piece of evidence for a young
earth. sorry
