This is Ken Ham, head of the ministry that built a full-size Noah’s ark near Cincinnati.
I’ve been speaking on creation and evolution for over forty years now. And the most common misconception about this issue that I hear from Christians is that we’re making the age of the earth a salvation issue—as if someone can’t be saved if they don’t believe in a young earth. But we’ve never said that. Not once!
But what we have said many, many times is that this is a biblical authority issue. You see, God’s Word in Genesis is clear—God created in six literal twenty-four-hour days and just a few thousand years ago. When we add millions of years into the Bible, we’re making man not God the authority—and that’s dangerous!
God’s Word is the authority.
Ken Ham is the Founder CEO of Answers in Genesis–US, the highly acclaimed Creation Museum, and the world-renowned Ark Encounter. Ken Ham is one of the most in-demand Christian speakers in North America.
