We CANNOT Trust These Christian Leaders Anymore | Ken Ham 

This matters because the word of God matters. Blessings.

Thank you for standing for the true authority of Biblical Word of God!!!

My pastor put it very well. If you cannot believe Genisus, you cannot believe the rest of the Bible. If you doubt God's word in the beginning, you doubt it all.

The Creation Museum in KY (south of Cincinnati, Ohio) is a destination all Christians should visit. Fun & educational.

A lot of Christian music does this. They follow emotion and what feels good and are not scripturally sound.

God's Word is the most precious thing on earth.

Amen! Thank you for standing for the truth!

Ken, thank you for speaking bout on this issue. I appreciate all you share with us about Creation/Genesis...You are a true blessing.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.”

Thank you for exposing this.

I used to believe that millions of years is what was required until I asked, "How long does it take to make a great wine?" Then I considered how Yeshua did so in minutes.

Thank you Ken for always leading people back to the Bible for answers. God bless you Sir.

"The majority of scientists didn't survive the flood either." 😅😅.(if any did?!)That's funny. I do feel bad for them, but that IS funny. And as Joshua stated " And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24: 15

The churches have become largely apostate.

Thank you Ken Ham!

I't so simple even if you are not religious, I don't get it. Why impose a concept of time upon scripture. Even without faith one can reasonably argue Gods Time is different than humans. Why would a a Christian apologist fail to use this argument? Why give in to naturalism for this regard in particular?

I’m very suspicious of people who deny Biblical Cosmology.

You see "doctrines of demons" being taught for far too long now and people have not been diligent and vigilant to study the word. All so much as our Lord warned.

Amen We need to Stop Trying to Change the Bible so That We Can fit in With The Culture and We Need to Start Trust in the Infallible and Perfect Word of God Amen 🙏

This is all good and well. The concept of saying "taking God's word and not man's" sounds good and in theory is true, however, there are many well intentional Christians who believe they are Christians who are being led by the Holy Spirit as they read scripture but come to different conclusions. They are not trying to decieve, they are truly believing they are being faithful to the text, but come to different conclusions. So, really, at the end of the day, we are either trusting another man's view of scripture (maybe a pastor, church traditon, a book author) or/and our own ability to reason. It really is a lot more complex than most think or want to admit. Many Christians believe God is leading them, and speak of personal experiences, yet contradict each other. Sure some are easy to debunk and show their error, yet others are not so easy. And if we think somene who is very well intentional can be wrong then we must also at least entertain the real possibililty we could be wrong too, regardless how much we believe or "know" we are right.

thank you Dr Ham for being a defender of truth. You are a light in the darkness

Amen..Thank you for your clarity and simplicity in your descriptions. ❤

In the beginning, about 6000 years ago, God created the heaven and the earth!

I'm with you on this, Ken. William Lane Craig and others like him must believe that there was a beginning before the beginning. That is totally unsupported by the Genesis account. Blessings. SUBSCRIBED!

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Crist. I am not ashamed to take the Bible at its word as the foundation for worldview

I like these "Ken Ham Reacts" videos. It's a great way to connect with young people

Old Universe/ Old Earth Creation is not an abandonment of God's Word instead it syncs right up with it. Is God not Eternal, How Old is God? How old are the Angels? How old is Jesus? How old is Satan? How old is Heaven? How old is all of God's Creations? How old is the Universe? How old are the Stars? How old is all Matter? How old is the Earth? Even before the poem of Genesis 1 begins it states the Earth was Formless.. and God was hovering over the waters of the Earth.. So God made the Heavens and Earth before he made the "Earth" as we know it?.... His day is like a thousand years. But don't be so sure and put God in a Box that He can only create the world in 6 - 24 hour periods of time. God's time is not our time, nor is his day our day. The same lesson is for those who want to put a time on the end of the Earth, like dispensationalism. And there is plenty of proofs in the very Word of God. Young Earthism is becoming a religion and god of its own and that is not helpful to the Kingdom of God or the witness for Jesus.

Spot on with scripture Ken. Thank you for your non compromised words to the Genesis account!

The sad truth is that there's lots of evidence proving a young age for the universe, but these leaders love the praise of men more than the praise of God.

Orthodox Christian here. You’ve convinced me. Definitely feel the world is as old as the Bible says. It says it. It’s simple. Hadn’t really thought about the question much. I can’t say 14 billion with a a straight face 😅. God bless you.

Only a superstitious fool believes and considers as sacred the supernatural fairy tales and myths from a book just because the book claims itself to be the holy truth.

I grew up in a Christian school and was never taught evolution, only creation. It wasn’t until I was 35 that I realized I had some evolutionary ideas in my head that needed to be corrected. The earth being billions of years old, dinosaurs dying out millions of years before man, etc. These things don’t even make sense if you take God at His word. Thank you Answers in Genesis and Ken Ham for taking God seriously and showing how science backs up the Bible.

Thank God allmighty for people like Hugh Ross, William Craig and those who understand that science and faith actually work very well together! The Bible doesn't lie, and nature doesn't lie. Our understanding of the Bible and nature are certainly not perfect, but when we learn to understand how they both work, we get closer and closer to the truth of what God has revealed.

Only ignorant fools dismiss science. At no point on a human anatomy and physiology exam will any answer be. I don't know it must be god.

Thank you Ken Ham for sticking to the Truth..

Good on you Ken for speaking the truth. God bless you too.

Amen.... God-bless you for standing up and putting this out there.

Ken Ham needs to see a psychiatrist. He seems to be one crazy guy in my opinion. Evolution is undeniable.

I don't rightly know how old the earth and universe is. I studied archeology and geology as a kid. I loved rocks, still do. What I do know, is that scientists kept changing the age of the earth to make evolution work. I used to believe in a blend of evolution and creationism. Today, I know the idea of evolution is illogical and impossible. There are problems with both old earth and young earth ages. I figure I'll learn the truth when I get to heaven. By then, it really won't matter because we'll be with the creator, himself.

Nice view from your window.

William Lane Craig really disappointed me, I'm sure he'll be very at Davos along with wolves Francis Collins and Rick Warren

It's concerning to observe an increasing number of churches moving away from the Young Earth teachings found in the Bible.

Collins is a “convenience Christian”. As long as his beliefs don’t cause any discomfort with his secular associates he’s fine. He prefers man’s approval to that of God and I think it’s going to end badly for him and all who do this. Any time you add man’s “wisdom” to God’s word you dilute God’s word and it becomes ineffective, exactly what Satan wants. Keep up the great work you and your ministry are doing Mr. Ham.

So many “Christians” are going with the flow….instead of what God has said!!! Thank you, Ken Ham for speaking the truth!!

Thank you Bro. Ham, The truth will set you free.

How is it, True Christian leaders who study the bible know the rough timeline of the Earth is in the 6000 years age and these others go along with atheist millions and billions of years. Rhetorical question. Thank you for staying true Ken Ham.

Have you read what William Lane Craig has to say about this topic, or even his response directly to you and your accusations on this matter? I fear you don’t understand fully what you’re criticizing. For instance, your depiction of his methodology regarding interpretation of Scripture is incorrect; he himself explicitly warns against forcing science into the Bible while ascertaining its meaning. That’s not what he’s doing. You certainly need not agree with him, but at least accurately represent the man whom you’re disparaging. I find your efforts behind this video quite misguided and troubling, and what you have to say about William Lane Craig, here and elsewhere, very harmful. Ironically titled, sadly, this video only showed me that its your credibility that should be in question

Outstanding

Thank you Ken for speaking truth boldly and faithfully! I believe we are now living in a time where sound teaching is no longer tolerated! It’s not about the science, it’s about what’s culturally acceptable. In regard to Dr. Craig, his theology has been “man-centered”, so not surprising!

You are so right! We are to STUDY the WORD to show ourselves approved for the purpose of NOT being deceived..particularly during these last days. Jesus said deception would be rampant and if could, would deceive the very elect/chosen. Jesus is coming back very soon!

Brother Ken, thank you for standing firm for the truth of God's Word !!!

Thank you for your good work.

Thank you, Ken Ham and everyone at AIG!!!

We use things outside the Bible to better understand the Bible all the time.

William Lane Craig and N.T. Wright are awesome!

This is why we must read our Bible for ourselves and not rely on others.

I am 62 years old and I used to buy into the deep time mantra because it has been so vehemently crammed down our throats from school classes and books to historical markers on the side of the road and virtually everywhere in-between. I am so glad that I learned otherwise from the great teacher's of "is Genesis history". You guys have changed me forever.

AMEN I stand on the Word of God that will be forever.

Man I hate to be the only dissident in the comments section. But the concern here is sitting behind the desk in the office chair. We don’t know how old Earth is. Our timeline of scripture can be interpreted different ways. That being said, we are always called (in seminary and biblical studies) to ask a very simple question, “Does this have an impact on the identity or role of God?” So let’s ask, “If the world is 1000 years old, or if it is 1 million years old, does that have an impact on God’s identity or role?” Absolutely not! He was before we were and will be when the Earth is no more. To tell people to not listen to different ideas, which are not salvifically determinative, and to call into question a person’s role in the kingdom over it, is dangerous. That is the behavior of the Judaizers. This type of behavior is rejected throughout Pauline scripture. Sound teaching is crucial, but indicating people to be false teachers because of non- determinative ideas is out of line.

I stand on God's word. It's so sad that some who call themselves Christians are so desirous of people's approval, and would bend and compromise the truth just to have it. But, it doesn't surprise one in the least; the Bible foretold these times , and we will be seeing more of these things as the coming of the Lord draws nearer and nearer. We need to really intercede for those who are under the influence of such "Christian leaders."

Thank you, Ken!

It really is so bewildering how true Christians can neglect the straightforward truths of Genesis with the science and theology that defends the Creation account. In seminaries now students are taught the theory that Genesis chapters 1-15 are a "mythos" (comparable to pagan god origin stories) without any critical thinking theologically, historically, or scientifically and I've had conversations with sincere believers who are students that don't see the problem with it. It's astounding. Thank you Ken Ham for being a lighthouse of truth that led me back to Christ in my late teens while investigating apologetics. God used you mightily in my life. Bless you!

The age of the earth is not a litmus test for orthodoxy, it never has been, so no use getting worked up over the age of the earth. Apostolic teachings and the early church fathers never made a fuss over the age of the earth. If it was a big deal then it would have been addressed by Jesus, the apostles, and/or the early church. That being said, it really depends on which definition of the Hebrew word "yom" is used in Genesis. There are several different meanings to the word yom, one being a 24 hour period and another a large unquantified epoch of time. Since science dates the earth as billions of years old, then it makes sense that the proper definition for yom in Genesis would mean a large epoch of time and not a 24 hour period. Secular scientists can actually follow the scientific method and come to sound scientific conclusions on the age of the earth, you can't just disregard all secular science as pseudoscience, that's complete nonsense. So perhaps a little bit of humility is in order Ken Ham, that you're not always right. It's my understanding that modern young earth creationism grew mostly out of the 7th Day Adventists movement, which is a heretical sect of Christianity. So young earth creationism is a relatively new phenomena. As Christians we can agree to disagree on the age of the earth. There will always be disagreement on minor doctrinal issues among Christians. So what if William Lane Craig holds an old earth view, he's an orthodox follower of Jesus Christ and staunch defender of the Christian faith. But when you post a video titled, "we CANNOT trust these Christian leaders anymore", you are slandering William Lane Craig and dragging his name through the mud as if he's a heretic. Why do you Ken Ham hold William Lane Craig in contempt when not all orthodox Christians agree on the age of the earth? Is your own theology flawless on every single point of doctrine, and do you have a perfect understanding of the Bible? What matters most is a proper biblical understanding of the gospel and bringing the good news of Jesus Christ to the lost. William Lane Craig is a Disciple of Jesus Christ, doesn't that mean anything to you? Getting weighed down in peripheral matters like how old the earth is only hinders the fulfillment of the Great Comission and divides Christians, which is absolutely disgusting, but I'm sure the demons greatly enjoy it when this happens

Psalm 90:4 :But a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.

Bless Ken Ham! He has been steadfastly preaching the truth of God's word - to a fallen, perverse humanity - for so long now. To stand on the truth, to square off against compromise, is the only way to declare the God is true! and man is wrong; and it is man who must repent - this is the Spirit of Truth. Preach. Don't waver. Thank you Mr. Ham.

I think one of the main reasons if not the main reason why Naturalism has become the dominant philosophy of the scientific consensus is that there have been double standards when labeling certain disciplines as science. And some of the places where there have been double standards when labeling a discipline as scientific are the fundamental principles of certain scientific disciplines such as uniformitarianism and cosmology. The problem is that the principles of uniformitarianism and cosmology are completely unfalsifiable. If it isn't falsifiable, then it isn't science and instead, it is a pseudoscience that is based on confirmation bias. Also if you or someone else believe that distant starlight supports the claim that the Earth and the universe are billions of years old, my short explanation (since my comment keeps getting deleted) is that time has been empirically proven to be relative because of the Gravitational Dilation Effect (GTDE), Stellar Redshift and Hubble's law.

Amen brother! I'll go with the Word not the world. Ken Ham is one of my heroes ever since I saw him speak at a creation conference in Texas 30 years ago. Keep telling the Truth my friend.

It's not a matter of perdition if you believe the earth is older.....we need to worry about what really gets one condemned. It's what comes out of the heart.

Good word. I’m an engineering professor and I’ve been leading a creationism small group through my church over the past four years. A lot of Christians just aren’t interested in the truth.

I'm an atheist, but I agree with you on this from one angle. I can't (and couldn't while I was still one) understand Christians who can throw out 40-50% of scripture but still call themselves Christian.

I think you are wrong about the age of the earth. The Bible said God created the Heavens and the earth in the “beginning”. We don’t know when that “beginning” was. It then said: “Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.” We don’t know how long between the “beginning” and the creation of light there was. What we do know is that the counting started after the creation of light and the things mentioned on this first “day”. It goes on to say the “sun, moon and stars” will be for signs and season and days and years. So, time is then tied to the astronomical things in space, particularly the sun, moon and star. Therefore, it is safe to say the world is about 6K years (including the creation of the sun, moon, stars and the things created on the first to third day). As for the age of the earth, we don’t actually know. What we can say is that it is at least 6K years but we actually don’t know.

Thank you Brother Ham for the work that you do. Keep on preaching the Bible.

AMEN!

Ken, we all want you to debate Dr. Craig publicly on these subjects that you’ve raised with him. Please make this happen on your end, because I’m sure that you’re more than willing to have a public dialogue with him while being respectful.

Actually the old universe is correct and this is wrong. Here are several reasons that the young earth is NOT correct from both a scientific standpoint and a biblical one. First, there is the law in physics of the speed of light in a vacuum. It is 186,000 mph or ~300,000,000 meters / second. While that is fast, in the vastness of space that is slow. The milky way galaxy alone is around 100,000 light years wide. A light year is the distance light can travel in a year. If the earth and all the stars were created only 6,000 years ago, most of the stars in our own galaxy we would not see yet! Most of our skies would be devoid of stars because the light that came from them when created would not have reached us yet. But it HAS. If the YEC was true then stars would just suddenly appear each night as the distance to them elapsed for the light that was streaming from them to reach the earth. That is NOT what we see! Not only that but we can see the Andromeda Galaxy even with the naked eye. That is over 2 million light years from us! The light that is reaching us now left Andromeda over 2 million years ago! So how do we see it if it was only created 6,000 years ago??? Now scripturally the proper interpretation of Genesis 1 is called the Time Gap interpretation. Genesis 1:1 is the ancient past. It isn't until Genesis 1:2 that is the current dispensation. From Genesis 1:2 till now is the 6,000 years of THIS dispensation. The time gap between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 is going by science around 13.5 billion years! That is the creation period. THIS dispensation is the MADE period. The reason that God uses 3 words to define what He is doing in Genesis 1 is to separate what He did between creating something new from scratch and just refashioning or just maintaining something. There are three Hebrew words to define this. Bara - To create, Asah - very broad from making something from something existing to just maintaining it, and the verb "let". If you notice that Geneis only uses Bara 3 times! One in Genesis 1:1 (Original creation), Genesis 1:21 for the creation of the Tannyn / sea monster, and Genesis 1:27 for humans. That is IT. All the rest of the passages use the word Asah or just the verb let. While I do not want to take away from God that He is not actively doing things in each passage, for the most part this is NOT the original creation! Lets continue. In verse 2 the Hebrew words translated "without form and void" are the Hebrew words בּהו תּהו Tohoo Bohoo are NEVER used in a creative context! All ancient literature where this was used it represented the aftermath of a destructive event. NOT a creative one! Lets look at Jeremiah 4:23 where it was used again to see it in context. 23, I beheld the earth, and, see, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 24, I beheld the mountains, and, see, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25, I beheld, and, see, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26, I beheld, and, see, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. 27, For thus has the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. 28, For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it. The translation "without form and void" is OBVIOUSLY a poor translation to its meaning in this context and it is even my belief that this passage alludes what happened to the earth in Genesis 1:2. If you notice the earth is in EXACTLY the same condition as Genesis 1. The skies are black and covered in thick cloud cover. But also notice there are hills.. there are birds, they just fled! And what does it say about cities? They were flattened by God! So Tohoo Bohoo does not mean "without form and void". What it means is "an undistinguishable ruin". We can not tell what its original state is because it has been decimated! If you lived then and a three story house was flattened by a tornado and you described what you saw when you came back to a friend you would say it was "tohoo boohoo". All that was left was a rubble pile. The reason that lights are mentioned 2x times in Genesis 1, is not because there is a cosmic light on day 1 and then the creation of the sun, moon, and stars on day 4 but because the cloud cover is so thick you can't SEE the sun and moon UNTIL day 4. They were not created on day 4, they were created in Genesis 1:1 and it isn't until day 4 that the cloud cover has been reduced enough to see them! The allusion to them being MADE (and not created!) on day 4 is to only draw attention that they were originally created by God. What you are reading in Genesis 1 is NOT original creation but a RE-CREATION or a rebuilding of the earth after it was decimated. We are in the Halocene period of the earth. I have A LOT more evidence about this and wrote a book and did a podcast on it but this is not the place to redo all the evidence. The biggest objection that people like Ken had about this is because of the question of original sin and that if God destroyed the earth it had to be here before Adam. Mind you that objection is because the YEC places Genesis 2 and 3 after Genesis 1:2 in time. I do not agree. I think that Genesis 2 is actually LONG before Genesis 1:2 and I prove that in my podcast. Essentially you have to understand the wording of Genesis 2:2-4. There is the "created" period mentioned, and then there is the "made" period. Adam was created in the "created" period and was eating from the tree of life until his fall which brought us into the made period. Also the YEC ignore the fact that a) Adam was not the originator of sin, Satan was! John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the BEGINNING, and stayed not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the FATHER of it." b) Not everyone or everything even had the plan of redemption. The angels do NOT have a plan of redemption. Why? Because they didn't just sin, they rebelled! They walked with God and when you walk with God and then willfully disobey him, there is not plan of redemption. Anyhow, this is already too long so some people will just not read it but it absolutely refutes the YEC interpretation of Genesis. If you want more, look up my podcast or get my book on Amazon, BN, etc. I am not here to sell them so no links to them in here. The reason I would debate anyone on this topic is because it is time now for the truth be known. No more hiding under tradition on this subject.

The whole dinasaur thing cracks me up. Dinasaurs going extinct before man arrives on the scene means that death came before the fall, which of course didn't happen.

Ken you are an amazing leader in this day and age. Def want to bring my family to The Ark Encounter. God Bless.

Ken, once again you’re elevating non-essential doctrines to the level of essential doctrine, slandering fellow believers, and dividing the church. There are strong biblical arguments for both sides of the creation debate. Serious, educated Bible believing Christians pass over your teaching and your ministry because you can’t seem to get off this.

I think the reason Ken loses every argument is because he has zero proof or evidence. He just keeps quoting from the bible, you can't use the bible to prove the bible. It's like me quoting Harry Potter to prove Hogwarts is real. Every religion has their own bible and every religion thinks theirs is the only true one. May Lord Kamadeva, God of love and desire, pour his blessings upon you. Amen.

Well said Ken. I was a theistic evolutionist by default as a new Christian in my early 20's. But I went to a creation science talk at a meeting in Tauranga NZ in the early 1990's and was blown away, as it seemed to line science up with my understanding of the bible.

Wow - I never thought about the argument of death (being the result of sin) and dinosaurs supposedly dying BEFORE original sin… before man was even created! Simple reasoning.

The Genesis story of creation was never meant to be taken literally its metaphorical and the reading of it shows that. People leave Christianity when they are taught yec and find it to be false.

The Bible says, "In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth." There is no way to tell how long ago it was, and there is no reason it matters. The ONLY thing that matters is that we know and believe that God did it, and that by His own will, power, Word, and Breath He created. He made everything ex-nihilo. We do not know how long Adam was in the garden before He created Eve. It could not have been the same day, because the text states that Adam was busy discovering the world and naming the animals. The narrative from chapter two elaborates on the creation process from the first chapter. It is clear that day six was not a normal 24 hour day, since Adam was tending the garden and naming the animals prior to Eve's creation. Genesis is not only history, it iincludes prose, poetry, and figurative language to convey the account of creation. No Christian has the right or authority to dictate what adiaphora we must believe for salvation. The gospel is simple...Jesus came to die in our place, and rose again for our forgiveness, salvation, and faith in HIM ALONE restores our communion with God. If I believe the world is 10,000,000 years old, I am still saved. Can't you all see that? You can't add these extra things to the gospel. It is not right or good to do. God bless Ken Ham and all of you, but we stand forgiven by Christ, not on your particular interpretation of the length of the Genesis days. By the way...Christians used to believe the earth was flat and stationary too. I'm sure there was a Ken Ham then to tell us we that we must reject this revolving round earth nonsense too. Think folks, think.

Hi ken love your work. I still remember you visiting our church, Beenleigh Baptist church, in the 90s. You speak the truth. May God bless you & your ministry. 🙏💜🦘🇦🇺

I’m sorry, but as a Christian, I can’t support the way you’re putting down these men for believing in science and logic. Genesis was not written to tell us how old the world is, and the Hebrew word for “day” that was used in Genesis 1 can be used to both signify a period of time OR a 24-hour day. So how is the Bible supporting or disproving an old-earth or a new-earth perspective? It’s doing neither, and if science points to the Earth being billions of years old, why am I not inclined to believe in that? Scientific and logical evidence of the crucifixion and resurrection is the same reason I believe in Jesus and my Lord and Savior, so why can’t I use the same GOD-GIVEN reasoning to understand if the Earth is 6000 years old or billions of years old? You can have your opinion, but it’s just shameful to see you bash on others for using their God-given gifts.

Thank You Ken. At 70 years old I'm still learning and unlearning and you are a blessing.

A christian is defined as a born again believer in Christ our savior not bestest biblical cosmology. YEC is not the only valid interpretation of Genesis. There is plenty of good reason to believe geneologies are lists of significant patriarchs rather than every person in the lineage. The Scriptures do not teach the age of the Earth. God does give us the ability to uncover the details of creation. Dogmatism over irrelevancy that is almost certainly wrong is driving young people away from the church. What your preaching doesnt matter. Old Earth cosmologists do acknowledge the word in so far as it speaks on the subject of their study. It simply doesnt say very much.

I don't see how, based on this topic alone, we must wholesale distrust these men. They are not saying God did not create all things, they both recognize God as creator. They also recognize apparent evidence for the age of the Earth (though certainly this could be wrong). But both of them (to my knowledge) heartily, accurately and unabashedly present the Gospel to people around the world. Is being certain of the age of the universe a requirement for us to be saved? To my knowledge, there is but one requirement: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Measure what these men say about Christ, that is what matters.

Great video Ken!! Thank you for your persistent stand on upholding the authority of God's Word!!

Thank you Mr. Ham for this video!! It's so important. Everyone should share this video!

My brother in Christ, I believe you’re misguided and that you’re making a mockery of the church. God gave us his revelation through the prophets as well as the observation of his creation. We cannot dismiss one for the other. The books of the old covenant contain a plethora of poetry and symbolism of which a literal interpretation simply isn’t tenable with modern observational science. Genesis also speaks of the firmament, as though the sky was a great dome holding back the waters of the flood. Yet it’s uncontested that we’ve been to space and we’ve found that the heavens aren’t literally like the Bible has described. So why then must we take the meaning of “days” as a literal period of twenty four hours? There’s no reason for it besides contrarian cherry picking of what our eyes can observe. Also I have to point out that this is the issue with sola scriptura. The fact that we have such a fundamental difference of the very first book of Moses shows that scriptural clarity is a lie. We must rely on apostolic tradition to interpret the word and not one bishop or pontiff has declared intelligent design as heretical or contrary to the scriptures. By asserting your position so whole heartedly as to deride such defenders of the faith as WLC, you speak with an authority beyond your station.

As a Christian I struggle with a universe that's only 7000 years old. When viewing the sky with a telescope and looking at a galaxy that's 100,000 to a million light years away, if this object was created at the same time, we should not be able to see it because the light of that object is still on the way. We should be witnessing objects suddenly coming into view at the 6000-7000 year edge of light travel. My position is simple, God is the creator and I look at the evidence of His work.

God is the Ultimate Authority! Amen brother, God bless you and your ministry!

To portray Craig as simply "a Christian leader" is to misrepresent him and what he does. He argues on *behalf* of Christianity, targeting primarily non-Christians, and I see nothing wrong with admitting the possibility of a non-literalism in Genesis as one might do of other books in the bible. Also, I love how you just assume that because *you* haven't seen the sort of children's book Craig is claiming to have seen, that he must be either making it up, distorting what YECs believe, or trying to make your side of the issue look stupid. I'm sorry, but I find this critique to be in extremely bad faith (no pun intended).

I have a question. God created a man, not a boy, that's very clear in Genesis. The first man was created mature. He could have been the biological age of 30, but only on earth for a month. Why can't this logic apply to the rest of the world? If man was created mature, was the whole world created mature? Why can't the earth be both young and old, in a different sense? Why couldn't it be created millions of years old already, like Adam being created some number of biological years old, but chronologically only be 6-8000 years old? I want to know why it MUST be one or the other, when they can both be true in a sense without breaking the law of non-contradiction.

Ultimately concentrating on the age of the universe too much would be like worrying about the ritual of washing hands or whether you can save someone or pressing a button in an elevator on the Sabbath.

Thanks Ken for your ministry. "Six Days Of Creation" I have shared with many, many souls over the years...........Right to the point. Keep going...............

In the creation story in Genesis, Adam had the appearance of an older age than he was. He looked older than 1 day old. The same is true for the trees, plants and stars. God is so much bigger than the little box we try to stuff Him into. He made the whole universe by just speaking it! Believe His word. Yes, the majority of people are wrong. God's 'foolishness' is wiser than men. 1 Cor. 1:25. Thank you for preaching the truth brother Ken!!

My problem with a young earth being 6k years old is that יוֹם (pronounced Yom in ancient Hebrew) doesn't mean a 24 hour time period. When God called the light day and darkness night, how do you know it wasn't the 4th literal, 24 hour, "day?" So, is the concept of day solar reliant? No, Yom in ancient Hebrew meant many things. Like daytime, or an undisclosed amount of time. Such as "in the day of our Lord." by saying it means a 24 hour time period undermines the context of the scripture by imposing our modern definition of what "day" is supposed to mean. Yom, in the context of scripture, is almost always translated literally to mean "a period of time," or in more specific terms, "a plural measurement of time." aka, WE CAN'T KNOW! And to claim that we do is putting the English translations above the original scripture. Make no mistake, none of the Bible was written in English. You can't take the English words as infallible, as can be attested by multiple versions such as what Mormons use and LDS. That's why it's so important to have proper hermeneutics. More importantly, whether one or the other position on the age of the universe is believed has no impact on your salvation. However, by claiming things that no respectable scientist believes to be true, it CAN cause people who might have believed to turn away. That means taking such an unsupported (scriptually and scientifically) position can have eternal consequences, but gains nothing in terms of salvation. Logically, it is counter productive to the great commission to believe in a young earth despite its irrelivancy on a person's soul. William Craig has lead many people to Christ with his ministry. And scripture warns us not to act like you are in this video by saying things like "watch out for that guy!" or "don't listen to that Christian!" regarding something that isn't heretical. ‭‭‭‭1 Corinthians 1:10, 17 "[10] Now I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, that there be no divisions among you, and that you be united with the same understanding and the same conviction. [17] For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to evangelize - not with clever words, so that the cross of Christ will not be emptied of its effect."

Thank you.
