*let's look at the Bible, let's look in the book of Job*
turn to chapter 40 and verse 15 were
told of a mighty creature that Job must
have known in the jungle of the region
Ferns behemoth made his home
is a dinosaur a dinosaur is he
the eateth grass has an OPS his tails
like a cedar
he's chief in the ways of God
hey everybody
welcome back to my channel I'm Jen and
this is Fundie fridays and on my channel
I talk about fundamentalism well they do
my makeup just want to start off this
video by saying hello and thank you to
all my new subscribers I really don't
know how I'm going to live up to the
masterpiece that was Jill Rodriguez
Halloween special it's been really
amazing to read everybody's comments and
I appreciate all the support I have
something really cool today I have this
spongebob palette 100% not sponsored I
just really like spongebob oh that's
gonna be fun today I'm going to talk
about Ken ham he is the founder and
creator of creation Museum and the Ark
Encounter both in Kentucky these museums
promote young Earth Creationism
which is the belief that Genesis is to
be taken literally and the earth is only
6,000 years old if you were wondering
what the actual age of the earth is it
is estimated to be about 4.5 billion
years old and interestingly enough when
I googled that ken hams website Answers
in Genesis what's the third hit which if
you didn't know already you can actually
pay money to have your website featured
in the top Google search results so do
what you want with that information in
ham was born October 20th 1951 in
Queensland Australia he actually has a
degree in Applied Science so he's not
completely making this shit up oh he is
making this shit up but he's attempting
to do it with a scientific perspective
to be fair not all Christians believe in
creationism or that every Bible story
should be taken as a literal fact but
Ken's mission is to convince people that
the earth was created in six days and
that man and dinosaurs coexisted he
insists that evolution is not real and
not factual him took a job teaching
science at a public school and he
resigned in 1979 after quote being
appalled by the fact that some of his
students assumed their textbooks that
taught evolutionary science successfully
proved the Bible to be untrue here's how
I personally imagined his classes went
dinner's ready
where's grandpa
that's your grain haven't you heard
our ancestors are monkeys
we can't it's against the law to teach
creationism at that idea in mind Ken and
his wife formed creation science
supplies and creation science
educational media services this business
provided creation materials to be
distributed to Queensland public schools
a year later Hamm and his buddy John
Mackay also a young earth creationist
merged the businesses with Karl Wyland's
creation Science Association and their
new organization together would be
called the creation Science Foundation
January of 1987 ham moved his family to
the United States who spread his message
he joined forces with the institution
for Creation Research and began giving
lectures across America entitled back to
Genesis in his lectures he spoke about
the true age of the earth as told by
Genesis that teaching evolution caused
cultural decay and how Christians should
engage in a culture war against atheism
and humanism in the 1990s ham left his
other foundations behind and formed his
current organization Answers in Genesis
which is listed as a non-profit and if
you decide to work for this awful
company you must sign a statement of
faith that you believe in young Earth
Creationism the Great Flood was a
historic event and that marriage should
be between a man and a woman only you
know standard paperwork that you have to
sign it a new job now on to the real
shit show the Creation Museum it is
located in Petersburg Kentucky cost
twenty seven million dollars to make and
spans over 75,000 square feet the
location of the museum was chosen
because it is near 69% of America's
population pun not intended the
Creation Museum has drawn lots of
attention and even atheists like Bill
Maher have attended and of course
America's favorite quiver the Duggars
stopped by for a visit
high school teacher in science I saw
that the teaching of evolution millions
years was a real stumbling block to
people who've been listening to the
message of the Bible and just a real
burden to build a Creation Museum to at
least challenge people with another
point of view concerning origin and
because evolution is is taught as fact
in the public school system and students
in America aren't even allowed to hear
about creation we want to make sure we
had a place where people could have the
freedom to bring their kids and hear
information that I think is being
censored from the community only here to
teach our children about the creation
and to show them all of these great
exhibits of how the world was created
and also to reinforce to them that the
fallacies of evolution and how it was
impossible for this world just to all
happen by chance
I think the world is definitely as the
Bible says 6,000 years old it's pretty
obvious once you start looking into it
but what really would be more you know
factual it's actually more
scientifically proven than billions of
years old God had everything planned
whenever he created the world in 6 days
the Bible clearly displays all that some
things that they say in
make sense but then if you read in the
Bible you can it lined up - it's not
it's not correct it's it's totally
different the creation museum has a zoo
aids applying planetarium where you can
get answers to life's greatest questions
such as does life exist on other planets
did your neighbor really see a UFO other
answers in the Bible the creation
museum's most famous exhibit of course
is the Garden of Eden where you can see
creepy wax figures of humans frolicking
with dinosaurs dinosaurs and humans I
don't know that's pretty scary good
thing the Creation Museum employs armed
guards and drug dogs in 2016 can open to
the Ark Encounter which is 45 miles away
from the Creation Museum and that's just
shitty planning if you want to see both
attractions in one day you're gonna
spend a lot of time traveling the Ark is
510 feet long and 51 feet high it is
supposed to be a perfect scale replica
of Noah's Ark in the Bible I hate to
break it to you Ken but that's already
been done and more successfully with
blockbuster hit Evan Almighty starring
Steve Carell including yet another
inhumane petting zoo and a walkthrough
graphic novel that covers key events of
the Bible the Ark Encounter makes the
most sense of any of the museum's that
Ken has created Noah's Ark is a well
known Bible story and even secular
people know about it and who doesn't
love a good tourist trap I know I do in
December of 2016 the Ark was lit up
rainbow colors because Answers in
Genesis wanted to take the rainbow back
from gay people so out of protest I
guess the display is still going on I
don't know Ken that seems pretty gay to
me and in the most brilliant stroke of
irony the Ark Encounter and the land it
was built on suffered damage from heavy
rain in 2017 and 2018 the rain caused a
landslide on the Ark's access road and
none of the Ark's five insurance
companies agreed to pay for the damage
which totaled over a million dollars so
AIG did what any good Christian business
would do and sued them and I think it's
safe to say that the insurance companies
won't pay for the damage after all that
much rain just has to be an act of God
in 2014 Ken hosted a debate with Bill
Nye the Science Guy and of course Bill
Nye isn't a kids show host anymore his
main goal is to educate people about
manmade climate change in hopes that we
can reverse it or lessen the impact the
two debated and I really mean bill
debated Ken..sucked for over three hours
here are some highlights we're talking
about the past when we weren't they we
didn't see those tree rings actually
forming we didn't see those ladies being
laid down it's like the dating methods
you're assuming things in regard to the
past that aren't necessarily true
the fundamental thing we disagree on
mister ham is this nature of what you
can prove to yourself when people make
assumptions they're making assumptions
based on previous experience they're not
coming out of whole cloth I encourage
you to explain to us why why we should
accept your word for it that natural law
changed just four thousand years ago
completely and there's no record of it
natural law hasn't changed as I talked
about you know we I say we have the laws
of logic the uniformity of nature and
that only makes sense within a biblical
worldview anyway of a Creator God who
set up those laws and that's why we can
do good experimental science because we
assume those laws are true and there
will be they'll be true tomorrow we
build models based upon the Bible and
those models are always subject to
change the fact of Noah's Flood is not
subject to change the the model of how
the flood occurred is subject to change
because we observe in the current world
and and we're able to come up with maybe
different ways this could have happened
or that could have happened and and
that's part of that scientific discovery
you cannot ever prove using you know the
scientific method in the present you
can't prove the age of the earth so you
can never prove it's old so there is no
hypothetical a very real consensus is
that bill won the debate
however the publicity from the event
actually helped the Ark Encounter raise
money for more projects to add to the
museum in 2017 ken invited bill to tour
the art Hill pointed out scientific
inaccuracies and Ken nitpicked
everything he had to say and tried to
catch him in a technicality
when bill said something was
scientifically inaccurate ken would say
well that's your assumption well
actually his claims are assumptions but
Bill's have been proven through the
scientific method and they are backed up by
more than just the Bible the video of
the whole tour is over two hours but I
picked it especially infuriating clip
for you those who believed in
evolution actually I'm sorry so your
claim is that there was an ice age four
thousand years ago I was back 25 what do
you base that on
oh you base that on well as you know
here we have evidence for this yeah
what's the evidence for what I know we
don't have evidence for that that's an
interpretation you can't find ice that
has labels on it yes you can labels
absolutely to say I'm 300 yes
oh wait sir you're a science educator
I've never seen one of those well you
see count neutrons and oxygen atoms wait
that's how it's done yeah but since no
one has a label we've already talked but
it doesn't say I'm 300,000 years old in
English no you have to interpret it on
the basis of certain assumptions right
you have assumption of summaries no
assumptions I mean what's going with
discoveries no you can't have back in
time we live in the present in your
world youth as soon as you produce a
miracle then you're not doing science
it's not producing there's no such thing
what do you mean by science so this is
this is the most troubling thing you do
mr. Ham climate change is the most
serious problem facing humankind and so
by in trying to convince young people
that this climate change is not real is
very serious because they're gonna have
to grow up and deal actually
we're saying Climate change is real
it was a local
phenomena bill we're saying climate
change is real so is it serious climate
change what you have to do then is say
what what why is climates what have they
changed and keep in mind the video that
I pulled this clip from has comments
disabled so otherwise we would get great
one-liners like this 2015 an ex-employee
of the Creation Museum came forward
alleging that employees at the Museum or
overworked underpaid treated like crap
faced sexist microaggressions and were
forced to work holidays and weekends
come on can even chick-fil-a is closed
on Sundays nothing came of this
statement except for giving us another
reason to hate this douche bag my humble
opinion there's nothing wrong in
believing in creation every culture and
religion has an origin story you can
believe in God and evolution at the same
time fact Charles Darwin said evolution
is a chief argument for the existence of
God
and Carl Sagan said science is not only
compatible with spirituality it is a
profound source of spirituality and
while I personally don't believe in God
that shouldn't discourage other people
from doing what gives them hope and
makes them happy Bible was written by
human beings they just didn't have the
scientific accuracy that we have today
that doesn't mean that they were stupid
or lying to people it's just something
you have to consider when you're dealing
with a book that is over 3,000 years old
and has been translated into over 600
languages what I don't like however is
people like Ken Ham speaking on behalf
of an entire religious community and
claiming what he's speaking about are
facts because they're not their
religious teachings and if I was a
believer I would think that he would be
an embarrassment to the Christian
community making them seem ignorant and
there's also the secondary problem of
the Creation Museum in the Ark Encounter
giving free tickets for school trips
both attractions receive tax breaks from
the state of Kentucky to draw tourism
which is a huge violation of church and
state but will say that's a box for
another episode if this video is
something that interests you I have some
more resources in the infobox below
remember to consensually smash that like
and subscribe button follow me on tumblr
on Instagram and have a nice day that is
insanely big very well oh it stinks of shit
let's take a picture the power of
you got it you're gonna play cool here
though it's very least sloths kind I'm a
marathon to flow around the world where
you get them from?
what the fuck are these?
