Ken Ham, of Answers in Genesis, was on Fox&Friends recently and speaking about the new Creation Museum which is opening on 28 May. I've known about Answers in Genesis for years, and they have been a great encouragement to my faith. It was a huge eye-opener to me when I saw evidence that proved I could trust the Bible from the very first verse. Ken Ham was instrumental in this, and I have supported that ministry for a long time. I am so pleased that this museum - 100% privately funded, as Mr. Ham points out - is finally ready to open!
Mr. Ham presented himself well, which didn't surprise me. I've only ever listened to him before (he has a very good sense of humor!), and to see him was a treat. Of course, the Australian accent helps capture my attention, LOL. I must also add my appreciation for the Fox&Friends crew, who were interested and respectful, and allowed Mr. Ham to have his say.
Yes, I'll probably get flack for letting y'all know that I'm a creationist, and that's OK. Not my problem: it's God you want to argue with (Warning: arguing with God is a losing proposition!)
Anyway, here's the video (you will have to click on the link at Fox), and here's a list of some verrrrrry interesting books:
- Strobel, Lee, The Case for a Creator
- Ward, Peter and Donald Brownlee, Rare Earth
- Dembski, William, The Design Revolution
- Gonzalez, Guillermo and Jay Wesley Richards, The Privileged Planet
- Behe, Michael, Darwin's Black Box
- --, Science and Evidence for Design in the Universe
- Denton, Michael, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis
- Wilson, John, Uncommon Dissent
- Johnson, Philip, Darwin on Trial
If you're absolutely opposed to a Creator, I'm certainly not going to convince you. I can't change your mind, and that's all right: it's not my job to do so. But I do request that you don't go slinging mud on what *I* believe, because I have looked over quite a bit of evidence and quite a few of the arguments on both sides. I have been convinced that the whole universe is a special creation, crafted with intelligence and care, and that the Creator has revealed Himself through the Bible.
So, you're not going to change my mind, either.
Therefore, if we get into a discussion in the comments, let's agree to disagree with civility and grace, because I will delete any snide and derogatory remarks from either side.
Wow, someone else who recommends Evolution: A Theory in Crisis. I read it years ago, what a great book.
