Ironically enough, while Ken Ham was speaking, I found myself thinking, “Oh, Jesus Christ”. I, myself, am a supporter of evolution; it is a much more logical explanation as to how we got here and there is scientific evidence supporting it. Frankly, I think that Ken Ham spent his thirty minute section talking in circles. At one point, he mentioned how every species can be traced back to an “original”. This was brought up when he mentioned Darwin’s finches. He said that he agreed that within the finches, different species arose from adaptations that each finch had made to survive in their environment. This itself sounds eerily similar to evolution. However, this theory that Ham proposes leaves the question of where the “original” species came from unanswered. If humans are to consider themselves truly intelligent, they should not be satisfied with being told that someone sort of just put them here. The one thing I found particularly annoying was when on multiple occasions, Ham said that we could not know certain information for sure because we weren’t there to observe it. I wasn’t there when Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence but I think we can all agree that happened.
