The evidence is that man of all cultures has had a religious bent since records have been kept. Imo, that is idicative that there is a spiritual dimension in the universe and that venues of observing alternatives to secularism are good for study and observation of what exists.
This argument is usually phrased as "Thirst is evidence of water". However one could as easily say:
The evidence is that man of all cultures has had a *musical* bent since records have been kept. Imo, that is indicative that there is a *musical* dimension in the universe
Probably not. Musical ability and appreciation is purely a human trait, as is the desire to "worship" a god being. The more primitive impulses anthromorphize this god being and the worship includes some form of sacrifice.

alternatives to secularism
Alternatives to "secularism" is superstition and ignorance. Study primitive cultures or the workings of theocracies, if you want to understand the full negative aspects of the opposite of "secularism" - religionism.

Likely there is some things in Ham's place that will allow for folks to observe where Ham's kind come from and why they interpret the evidence differently than secularists.
"Creation Science" does provide good working examples of logical fallacies. Further "Creation Science" is an interesting study on just how stubborn and how far people can purposefully misinterpret readily observable data, in order to support preconceived belief systems.
