Paeter and Colin talked a little about Ken Ham in their Fireside Chats interview. Ham was just on Unbelievable? debating an Old Earth Creationist who works for Reasons to Believe, Jeff Zweerink.
It's not the best debate, honestly. Ham 's whole argument is that if we don't take the Genesis account of creation literally, then we're not "taking God at his word" and thus casting the rest of the Bible in doubt. Zweerink's stance is that he's not a Hebrew scholar, so he has to fall back on others who know the language. Then Ham is like, "You don't have to be a Hebrew scholar to know about the other parts of the Bible you're sure about."
I like Reasons to Believe, but I think maybe they could've found someone better to debate Ham on this topic. But I like the idea of Ham debating fellow creationists instead of atheists on this topic.
I actually think I lean more towards Young Earth Creationism, but it's something I hold very loosely. The resurrection is the important thing.
