I had heard Ken Ham give a presentation in Phoenix years ago and I have kept up with both
Answers In Genesis and the Creation Research Institute. This past year, I cruised with Mr. Ham
and his group on the inside passage to Alaska . A number of presentations were made by him and
his people during that cruise. If one could erase the “decision theology” from their background, I
would feel quite comfortable with them.
The presentation:
“The main issue is not about creation/evolution. It is also not about the age of the earth. The main
issue is upholding the authority of the Word of God and confronting the forces of the secular
humanism that are taking over the culture.”
A Biblical world-view. Necessary- The 7 C’s of history. These are foundations to our faith.
C—Creation- The calling out of nothing by God making all things in those 6 normal days.
C—Corruption- the fall into sin and the beginning of death along with the promised Savior
C—Catastrophe- The world-wide flood adjusting the topography of the earth and burying all that
had the breath of life – except Noah and his family.
C—Confusion- The tower of Babel caused the spreading of the nations around the world.
C—Christ- the fulfillment of all the Old Testament promises. The loving work of God
C—Cross- Complete in the death and resurrection of Jesus
C—Consummation- The final return of Christ to gather His people to Himself for an eternity of
happiness and send those who have rejected him into eternal fire.
If any of these is taken away and replaced with millions of years of death and accidental changes,
our whole picture of eternal life in Jesus is undermined.
How are we to respond? Go to the Word regularly and read how God, through His spokesmen,
described the happenings of history. Be confident that He is telling it like it is.
The creation took six days- “the evening and the morning” limits. (The Jews reckoned their day
from Sundown to sundown- hence “the evening and the morning were the first day- etc)
The world-wide flood- not some little local happening.
There is only one race. All are descendents from Adam and Eve- from Noah and his family. There
may be difference of color, but we are the same people- of one blood. Different types, but the
same blood.
Where did all this start? The originator of this is the one who thought he could become god. When
he found out he had failed, he went after God’s creatures. “Did God really say?” Through out the
years he has been pulling the same trick.
This has since permeated our public education system. John Dewey. “There is no god and there
is no soul. Hence, there are no needs for the groups of traditional religion. With God and creed
excluded, the immutable truth is also dead and buried. There is no room for fixed, natural laws or
moral absolutes. “
In an article on “Public Education Against America” Marlin Maddoux says: “The Christian is
permitted to hold to some vestiges of his Christian beliefs as long as he is willing to concede that
Christianity does not have the whole truth. Once consensus is reached on this issue, he will be
welcomed into the group. But, such a concession is all that is needed to virtually neutralize the
Christian.” LSI
