Young earth creationism mouthpiece Ken Ham takes his mythology seriously. That is beyond question.
The man built a “museum” dedicated to his belief that certain Hebrew myths are literally true. He built a massive boat to commemorate the fictional story of Noah’s Ark in the middle of Kentucky and called it a theme park. A park which incidentally seems to be sinking as fast as the boat itself would sink were it ever to be tested in water.
Ken Ham literally believes, along with quite a few of the nation’s most influential politicians, that the world is somewhere around 6,000 years old. He literally believes Adam and Eve were the first humans. He literally believes that dinosaurs lived at the same time as modern humans. And that some of those dinosaurs were on Noah’s ark. And the list goes on and on.
In a tweet yesterday morning, he admitted that he also believes that having no religion, is a religion. And that public schools that don’t teach a particular religion as truth, are guilty of teaching children this so called non-religion religion. I know it’s enough to make your head hurt. See the tweet for yourself below:
Public schools are really religious institutions using our tax money to impose the religion of secular humanism on generations of kids

Perhaps this is Ken’s tactic to get lawmakers to let public school students attend his nutty Ark Encounter park as a part of their secular education. Most have agreed that spending tax dollars for such a field trip would violate the establishment clause of the first amendment to the U.S. constitution.
I happen to think that if such a field trip was sponsored by the social science or psychology department of the school with the purpose of letting children see what happens to someone when they abandon all critical thought, then that would be a legitimate field trip indeed!
Since Ken Ham and his fellow young earth creationists are immune to facts and reason, perhaps the sounds of hundreds of children laughing at him might slowly began to pull him from the depths of his delusion. Perhaps.
Here’s a sad video of Ken Ham displaying his lunacy for the world to see:
