He Is Waiting for Me to Die

He ended the blog stating: “That’s a problem with authoritarian cults. They are ruled for life by unpleasant, weird people who alienate everyone around them, and maybe instill in them the ambition to be in charge on their own. I hope I outlive Ken Ham, because I’d really like to see the chaos that will follow on his death.”

As we know, God’s Word states that,

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die. (Ecclesiastes 3:1–2)

So when any one of us dies is not up to what some atheist professor wants. God is in control of both Myers’ life and ours.

But this pagan university professor, who has continually blasphemed and mocked God and Christians, needs to wake up and take note of God’s warning:

And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment. (Hebrews 9:27 LSB)

And if Myers continues in his willing ignorance and rebellion against God, he will suffer a second death after the first death:

But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8 LSB)

I would ask us to all pray for P.Z. Myers as he is well on his way to a Christless eternity. He is 68 years old (younger than me), but God could end his earthly life at any second.

I thought I would start off with this today as I want to remind us all that we are in a spiritual war. And this war is raging about us even more aggressively now than we’ve experienced in the past here in the West.

Years ago, someone said to me, “If you stand on the devil’s toes, he reacts. You guys must be kicking him in the shins.”

As we move the battlefront forward, proclaiming God’s Word and the gospel, we expect the enemy to fight back.

Recently, I’ve seen a level of hate against us that seems to be growing. And really, we should expect this. As we see the enormous number of people saved through this ministry, including over 100,000 a year at the attractions alone, we know the devil will be active. Actually, I believe that because we are in a war, if we’re not getting opposition, we should ask ourselves what we are doing! As we move the battlefront forward, proclaiming God’s Word and the gospel, we expect the enemy to fight back.

Just to give you a sampling of the enemies of God lashing out at us (reminding us of this spiritual war we are in), I will include just a sampling of the 20,000+ comments on one of my Facebook posts. The post was short:

Now, there were over 20,000 comments on this post, the majority from enemies of God! Let me share some with you:

Okay, you get the idea! There were thousands like this, many of which I would not put in this letter because they are so perverse. But should we be shocked at such a response from the world? Actually, we shouldn’t. But this last one I’m including is extremely sad because it highlights the state of the majority of our Christian institutions:

So many young people from the church have gone to a compromising Bible college/university and come out believing no different than those who posted the comments I included above. A sad state of affairs but a situation that has greatly contributed to a lukewarm church that is, by and large, not impacting the church and culture as it should.

We really are in a raging war. That’s why Apostle Paul uses so much war terminology, reminding us to put on the whole armor of God so we can fight in this battle.

Now we also need to be reminded that this is a religious war.

Consider the atheists and other secularists (and even some people who identify as Christians) who went “ape” over my post. Over 90% of the comments were negative and most of them were highly emotional in attacking me and what Scripture teaches about origins—blaspheming God, attacking the Bible, many mocking me with the worst kind of profanity, and questioning my intelligence (the word idiot was used hundreds of times!). The emotions on display exposed thousands of evolutionists passionately defending their belief system. So many were so profane or blasphemous that we hid their comments. Obviously for them, origins is more than a science issue. Their worldview is challenged by the Bible.

The evolutionary worldview is a religion, one that’s practiced by those who attack Christianity. They have a nontheistic religion; in fact, evolution fits one of the Merriam-Webster dictionary definitions of religion: “a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith.” The dictionary definition of religion certainly describes the worldview of evolutionary naturalism. The beliefs of evolutionism purport to explain the entire world’s existence by means of evolutionary naturalism, and thus, it is an all-encompassing faith—a religious worldview.

Furthermore, the secularists who publicly argue against biblical Christianity (like the thousands on my Facebook post) have their own religious cause to promote as they zealously defend their belief in a naturalistic system of origins. What else would you call what they practice but a religion?

And following the definition above, because zealous evolutionists hold their beliefs with “ardor” and “faith,” they can be described as evangelists for their worldview—defending a belief system that informs how they wish to lead a life apart from God. So by this definition and what we saw from the zealous, angry evolutionists on my Facebook page, evolution is a religious faith. And thus, its avid proponents are religious.

As I say in my talks, in an ultimate sense, there are only two religions in the world—one based on God’s Word and the other based on man’s word.

At Answers in Genesis, we are extremely active in this religious war! Thank you for the prayers and financial resources you generously provide so that we can use all the “weaponry” we can to continue to push the battlefront forward in this religious war. Yes, we are zealots in this war as we are fighting for the King of kings.

And what is this “weaponry”? It’s AiG’s evangelistic and equipping content that’s proclaimed without compromise in its world-class attractions, dynamic resources, and creative media to equip believers, defend the Christian faith, and challenge nonbelievers with the truth of the Bible and its message of salvation!

Our just-released annual report for 2025 gives a great overview of the reach and impact of AiG’s ministry where you’ll see that tens of millions were directly impacted and over 100,000 responded to the gospel. It’s the core ministry of Answers in Genesis that develops and delivers the evangelistic content that the Lord has used to impact so many lives for Christ.

And I’m thrilled to share that, because of the impact, a supporter has offered a core ministry matching gift commitment for this spring. From now until the end of May, all gifts to the core ministry will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000,000. Wow!

I urge you to prayerfully consider a generous gift today to AiG’s core ministry that will be matched 100% through the end of May up to $1,000,000. You can make your gift at AnswersDonate.com.

I’m writing this while in Australia, right after speaking to 15,000 people in California on the way here. Down under, I’ve been speaking with E.Z. Zwayne from Living Waters (Ray Comfort’s ministry) to packed audiences, including so many young people hungry for answers on how to deal with the problems in our increasingly pagan culture in the West. And of course, I tell them God’s Word and the gospel have always been and always will be the solution. Yes, we established some new battlefronts in California and are now doing this in Australia. The war continues!

Please pray the Lord would continue to protect and increase the ministry he has given us. I’m so grateful for your prayers and financial support, and thank you for sending a gift today to help us take full advantage of the matching gift commitment that has been offered through the end of May. The more resources you are able to supply us with, the more “weaponry” we will use across America and around the world to reach people with the truth of God’s Word and the gospel.

Oh, and pray for all those who wrote the negative and often nasty responses! Pray God will use what they have heard to convict them and bring them to a knowledge of the truth and respond to the gospel. And pray earnestly for atheist P.Z. Myers!

In Christ,
Ken
