No Apologies

As co-founder of the apologetics ministry Answers in Genesis, Ken Ham often draws scorn from scientists for his views on creation.
After all, he unequivocally states that the earth was created thousands, not billions, of years ago. That dinosaurs and man existed harmoniously together. And that methods used to date the earth and fossils are flawed. Such statements don’t exactly endear him to scientists.
Ham’s goal is to challenge the church and the secular world.
“We challenge the church to stand on God’s word in Genesis and make a statement to the culture that God’s word is true,” Ham said. “And challenge the secular world that the history of the world according to the big-bang theory and evolution as taught in public schools is not true. The Bible’s account is true.”
Ham might be scoffed at by the science world, but he’s something of a superstar to creationists. He’s a high profile spokesman of sorts, proclaiming the inerrancy of the Genesis account of creation through Answers in Genesis and the ministry’s Creation Museum in Peteresburg, Ky.
Here’s a link to Ken Ham’s blog about the conference mentioned in the Arkansas newspaper.
