Re: This debate was Mind = Blown for me.
I'm so very very impressed with Ken Ham. I think Bill Nye is a nice guy too but as a Christian I am very proud of Ken Ham what ever that means.
​
Can you please tell me why the following argument impresses you?
​
"I don't care what the evidence shows. The Bible says certain stuff, and no evidence will budge me from that belief."
​
His points on the intentional switching of meanings of the word science and the word evolution (which is patently pernicious and intentionally misleading at worst. At best highly dogmatic in the most faith based religious way.)
​
Ken Ham was the one changing the meaning of science and evolution.

Ken Ham did not say this.
​
He most certainly did. When faced with evidence that contradicted his beliefs he retreated to the argument of blind faith in his interpretation of the Bible. Even his own website says as much:
​
"By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the scriptural record."
Statement of Faith | Answers in Genesis
​
I am really curious as to why you think this is an impressive argument?
