Ken Ham’s Unwavering Belief That Science Bows to the Authority of Scripture

Ken Ham, the man behind the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter, is also the person media loves to hold up as an example of why people shouldn’t believe the Bible. Specifically, what’s targeted is his belief in a young earth, one that is a few thousand years old as opposed to more than 4.5 billion years old. Yet Ham never wavers from his belief in what the Bible says about creation, the age of the earth, evolution, and the like.

On this episode of the
Lighthouse Faith podcast, Ham doubles down on his conviction in the
authority of the Bible in all things, and yes, even science. For instance,
Ham says that regardless of what science has discovered about light may
not be the complete picture of its inimitable qualities. The Bible says
God created light, “And God said, ‘Let there be light.'” But what God
didn’t tell us in Genesis is of light’s wave/particle duality, or that the
speed of light is 671 million miles per hour. Ham is a scientist; one who
looks at the exact same data as any other trained expert. The difference is
that, because of his belief in the authority of the Bible, Ham’s conclusions
diverge from conventional scientific thought.
