Pat Robertson begs Ken Ham to shut up

[DonViejo]

Yes, even the radical televangelist thinks young-earth creationist Ken Ham is ridiculous

ELIAS ISQUITH

Creationist Ken Ham is having his 15 minutes, following a live debate on evolution held between himself and Bill Nye “The Science Guy” on Tuesday.

And while you’d expect most folks to deem Nye the winner (which they have), Ham is receiving criticism from a source you might not expect: televangelist Pat Robertson.

On the Wednesday edition of his TV show, “The 700 Club,” Robertson indirectly implored Ham to put a sock in it, criticizing Ham’s view that the Earth is only 6,000 years old.

“Let’s face it, there was a bishop [James Ussher] … who added up the dates listed in Genesis and he came up with the world had been around for 6,000 years,” Robertson began. “There ain’t no way that’s possible … To say that it all came about in 6,000 years is just nonsense and I think it’s time we come off of that stuff and say this isn’t possible.”

The dead NEVER come back to life. Face it Pat, you're just like Ham, but with a better suit.

4. He must feel like somebody watching an uncle get drunk in public.

5. Somebody let Ken Ham know that a heretic is

in charge of the 700 club.

6. Demonstrating a stopped clock is right twice a day.

That's all there is to this phenomena.

Nothing more to add.

7. Ken Ham says he knows all this

through revealed truth. I have been told here that that is a different kind of knowledge from the verifiable knowledge we get from science.
So why is Ken Ham's revealed truth wrong and others correct? Any supernatural reference in the Bible runs counter to what we know through science, so why accept any of it? How do you know what to accept and what to reject? If it's through revealed truth, why is your revealed truth better than Ham's?

8. Pat believes in geology because it's needed to locate and mine gold.

Plus, he was probably unhappy to see some other kook getting attention.

9. Hmmm. Maybe if this doesn't win him enough attention, he'll renounce some of the other ideas

he's helped to promote in the past. Let's see if he stops claiming that earthquakes are caused by fornicators eating homosexual shellfish dressed in blazers made from linen and wool
