In a way, I can understand Ken Ham's problem. Craig's god sure doesn't seem like much of a deity. He thinks 'God' just mutated a species of animal and stuck a "soul" into it,... then let the whole species struggle on, for generation after generation, bloodily evolving into people? Craig is just _so close_ to getting it right. Yeah, mutations and evolution (biological _and_ cultural) made us who we are. But he just doesn't want to give up on his god. Craig is smarter than Ham, and better informed, but he's no more willing to accept reality.

No one in the final analysis really fails to become a Christian because of lack of arguments; he fails to become a Christian because he loves darkness rather than light and wants nothing to do with God."

Being charitable, you could assume he's actually learned something about people in the 27 years since he wrote that book. But the "you've been given enough evidence to condemn you if you don't accept Jesus" is a popular talking point among apologists/preachers of all stripes.

Can I point out the irony of the statement that at around 3:05 Craig pointing how pride is this terrible sin, despite the God of the bible won't stop flaunting Himself, or his powers, or talking about how great he is (aka pride) and these two individuals are always proclaiming how great they are in their particular field of studies (aka pride).

Omg Ham just said we should judge others. He wants a literal interpretation of biblical phrasing, but stands in direct conflict with the sole judge of the universe.

[@AustinRoss1420]

I love how Ken Ham is more theologically correct than William Lane Craig. The gospel accounts have lineages that trace back to Adam himself, and Jesus himself seemed to take Genesis literally. The only intellectually honest way to be a christian is to believe in a young earth creation story. Anything else is compromising on doctrine to avoid uncomfortable truth.

[@weirdwilliam8500]

Gee, if only we had some reliable tool to determine whose scriptural interpretation was the most accurate. What’s that, you say? It just depends on our feelings? There’s no way whatsoever to verify an interpretation? There are thousands of different sects and denominations of Christianity?

[@natew.7951]

[@JamesRichardWiley]

[@silverlightsinaugust2756]

I’d say Ken Ham would be right about the theology if he weren’t declaring he had perfect knowledge of the interpretation of god’s word as being literal in every case, and then follow it up by referring to “hearts knit together in love” and recognizing that as metaphor. The very idea that Ken Ham’s interpretation is correct because it’s literal is one of false idolatry and pomposity. Ken Ham props up Genesis as necessarily literal for no other reason than that it’s the beginning of the book, except of course the firmament, which Craig points out and Ham has no retort for. Such silliness.

[@kamilgregor]

"Origen and Augustine already argued for taking the creation story as a figurative text." Yes, because by that time, educated people already considered talking snakes and a god gardening laughable. Augustine himself says he had thought the Bible is ridiculous until his teacher Ambrose told him to just interpret everything as a metaphor for Platonic philosophy.

[@PWN4G3FTW]

Glorious! More of this.

[@NDHFilms]

This is one area where I feel Ken Ham has some fair points: 1. If there wasn't a literal Adam, why was Jesus necessary to atone for anything? 2. If you accept evolution, that appears to turn God into a kind of wasteful tinkerer. How much pain and suffering on a geological timescale, how much starvation, predation, and disease, to get to Homo Sapien? Did God watch the rise and fall of the dinosaurs with arms folded? The laryngeal nerve is not the work of a master craftsman, not are the tail and full coat of hair that the fetus grows and loses during gestation.

The problem with Ham's almost child-like reading of Genesis is that if you have to believe the Bible literally you are, effectively committing intellectual suicide, as Craig said. Surely if there were to be a deity who gave us a brain, so we could get to the level we are at now he'd look at Ken Ham and say, "are you deranged? the Bible was intended for bronze age man, I'd have thought you would have "evolved" a little intelligence since then, you've wasted the gift I gave you Ham".

[@BluePhoenix_]

The stricter and more extreme and restricitve your religion is, the more often is is "attacked" meaning it gets harder and harder to defend your beliefs without realizing, that you even could be wrong. The moment a creationist admits, that their beliefs could be wrong it gets dangerous for their believe system. For most other christians (the ones who are less extreme) it isn't really a problem. It could just be a misunderstanding on their side, without needing to alter "gods word".
