About the author
Ken Ham
237 books362 followersDr. Ken Ham is the president of Answers in Genesis USA and is a well-known speaker and author on the subject of Young-Earth Creationism. He received a bachelor degree in applied science (emphasis on environmental biology) from the Queensland Institute of Technology, and a Diploma of Education from the University of Queensland. He has also received two honorary doctorates: a Doctor of Divinity from Temple Baptist College, and a Doctor of Literature from Baptist Liberty University.
He was a director of Creation Science Foundation (CSF) in Australia, an organization which he jointly founded with John Mackay. In 1987 he moved to the United States, still maintaining his links with CSF.
From 1987 to 1993, Ham worked for the Institute for Creation Research, and in 1994 set up what in 1995 became Answers in Genesis (AiG), a creation ministry dedicated to "upholding the authority of the Bible from the very first verse."
In 2008 Ham was described by well known atheist and evolutionary biologist PZ Myers as a "Wackaloon" for carrying out a prayer session with members of the Pentagon. Ham responded regarding the validity of that prayer breakfastand that PZ Myers and other critics were intolerant of his position.

This books great if you want to have the opinion: “Genesis is literal, evolutionists are stupid, and we’re letting the secularists win by allowing gay marriage” drilled in your head every chapter. Seriously, read one chapter and you will get the gist considering it’s the same point every time.
This guy clearly knows his stuff, and I appreciate the zeal in convincing the world of truth. I think I just had a hard time connecting because he’s very clearly a presuppositional apologist in all cases (don’t like that approach in general) and I felt like he was being overly dismissive of every good argument against him. Also he kept dragging bill nye the whole time.
It’s a good book for a lot of people and I’m grateful for how many people’s lives it’s changed, but I don’t trust apologists who’ve never understood the other side.
