In Which Ken Ham Unsurprisingly Fails To Address James McGrath’s Key Points
(Note: This post took me a lot longer to write than I expected. In the interim, other posts have appeared that either directly supplement this one, or add background. NCSE commented on the video on their Facebook page, and also has a book excerpt up dealing with Ken Ham. Skippy has a cogent analysis of the matter as well.)
A couple of weeks ago, James McGrath posted an article on his blog, Exploring Our Matrix, containing this video:
This is part of a longer HBO documentary called Friends of God, which can be found here.
Anyway, in his post, James (who, I'll point out, is an associate professor of religion at Butler University) calling out people like Ken Ham (who, near as I can tell, isn't an associate professor of anything) for "false teaching". My take on James' post is that he feels that people like Ham are encouraging Christians to stand up for pseudoscience rather than relevant social issues.1
