KEN HAM VERSUS E.T.

7/25/2014

Ken Ham, the young-earth creationist who recently debated Bill Nye (and the principal figure behind the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky.), is now arguing that the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence is misguided and a big waste of money. The reason? Because only earthlings can be saved, of course! “God’s Son,” Ham pointed out, “stepped into history to be… the ‘Godman’”… not “the ‘GodKlingon’ or the ‘GodMartian’!” Thus, it is highly unlikely that there is intelligent life out there.

The search for ET’s, Ham thinks, is a misguided attempt by secularists to find answers to “the deepest questions of life.” We secularists are apparently “desperate to find life in outer space” in order to “supposedly prove evolution!” The whole thing is of course “driven by man’s rebellion against God…” (Only this time, God can’t simply confound our language in order to spoil our plans – for we now have translators!)

It’s hard to imagine a parody about creationists more outlandish than this. But then again, we are talking about a man whose views are so backward that even Pat Robertson thinks he’s ridiculous.

Ham’s blog post can be found here.

Pat Robertson’s criticism of Ham (regarding the debate with Nye) is here.

And the best reply to Ham I've heard so far is here.
