Creationist Ken Ham attacks Pat Robertson...

Cage match!

Ken Ham Claims Pat Robertson Promotes 'Pagan Ideas,' Effectively Attacked Jesus Christ

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 5/14/2014 4:30 pm

Ken Ham is ready to do battle once again with an unlikely foe, televangelist Pat Robertson, over their differing views on the age of the earth. Responding to Robertson’s recent remarks that “you have to be deaf, dumb and blind to think that this Earth that we live in only has 6,000 years of existence,” Ham fired back on his Facebook page yesterday. Ham, whose group Answers in Genesis runs the Creation Museum, said that Robertson’s comments were “beyond ignorant” and incorporated “pagan ideas,” arguing that his attack on “the authority of the Word” amounts to an attack on Jesus Christ.

Gotta go with Pat on this one. How nuts do you have to be to make Pat Robertson the voice of reason? (Nuts enough to believe the Earth is 6,000 years old, I guess.)

During question time I would try to get the two of them at each other's throats, or throwing chairs at each other. Or hopefully both.

Better yet, give "Dr. Dino" Kent Hovind temporary release from federal prison to join in on it and book it as a cage match. (One has to keep Hovind caged.)

That view, of course, would kill the goose that lays Ham's golden eggs

1. Actual science is difficult.
Creationism is easy. "Gawd dun it!"

2. Science is scary.
We can be rendered extinct, even our whole world simply erased.

3. Ham makes lots of $$$ from the gullible.
