No one is slandering Ham, if you disagree with the Ark + Jurassic Park + Christianity equals Hammonism, you are welcome to debate it.

Saying he started something called 'Hammonism' is most definitely slander since no such named movement exists.

Have you heard any teaching from dr. Georgia Purdom. She’s a molecular scientist, Part of the ‘hammer’ team :)
No I haven't. I looked her up and she sounds like an intelligent person who writes about creationism and intelligent design for creationists.

Hammonism is simply descriptive of what Ham is doing. My guess is that he would not take offense and would likely be flattered. Perhaps you can ask him. BTW there are several videos in the series. I haven't had time to view all of them but I look forward to it.

Ham used some uniquely American legal devices to manipulate his way into a tax dodge that is protected under American law.

In the US we are entitled to pay the LEAST amount to the IRS that we LEGALLY owe. If the "American legal devices" Ham used benefited him, good! No "dodge" occurred. Only the opinion of the IRS counts in such cases.

Did he? It's not a ship either. Maybe part of a ship.

True. A ship need a means of steering and propulsion. Ham's has neither, nor did the ark. It is however designed like a ship, not an ark.

There's no way the Ark can be built today without God's help.

First of all, what kind of wood would you use?

By the time scientists came to a consensus what "gopher" means, they'd all be dead of old age.

Second of all, what was meant by "pitch"?

Is it from the pitch pines of New Jersey (my favorite assumption)? or just what?

Again, they would die of old age: peer reviewing themselves nuts until their telomeres quit working.

Thirdly, that's all you could use: gopher wood and pitch pine.

That means that the Ark would collapse under its own weight before it ever began to resemble something.

It would be like playing a giant version of Jenga (except you would be coating the inside and outside with pitch).

Finally, you would have to open portals into the fourth dimension to make the inside of the Ark bigger than its outside, so you could house all those animals.

No ... the Ark was a true four-dimensional science-defying miracle.

And as the Bible says:

Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it:

That's weird. My wife and I just bought the Jenga game a few days ago. I did not even know that this game existed until a few days ago (But my wife and her family are familiar with it).

Anyways, good morning, and God bless you today AV1611VET.

Side Note:

Oh, and by the way, I like your username.
Did I ever tell you about my one thread that defends the King James Bible?
If not, here it is (if you are interested).

30 reasons why the KJB is the Divine and Pure Word of God for today

If you have not seen it, I would also recommend checking out Mr. Gipp's videos on the KJB. You can watch the first dramatized episode by clicking on the following spoiler button, and if you are interested further, you can check out the rest of the episodes by clicking on the following link.

Here is Sam Gipp's 1st episode on YouTube in defense of the KJB.

so she's a professional liar. got it
She subscribes to the Creation Research Organisation 'Statement of Belief'. For obvious reasons, it's impossible both to subscribe to that and to have scientific integrity in fields where that statement is relevant...

  1. The Bible is the written Word of God, and because it is inspired throughout, all its assertions are historically and scientifically true in the original autographs. To the student of nature this means that the account of origins in Genesis is a factual presentation of simple historical truths.
  2. All basic types of living things, including man, were made by direct creative acts of God during the Creation Week described in Genesis. Whatever biological changes have occurred since Creation Week have accomplished only changes within the original created kinds.
  3. The great flood described in Genesis, commonly referred to as the Noachian Flood, was an historic event worldwide in its extent and effect.
  4. We are an organization of Christian men and women of science who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. The account of the special creation of Adam and Eve as one man and one woman and their subsequent fall into sin is the basis for our belief in the necessity of a Savior for all mankind. Therefore, salvation can come only through accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior.

Well there you go. Any questions from creationists
about their abandonment of integrity?
