- Ken Ham and his team have a bi-weekly "news" show, reacting to the news stories of the day from a Christian young-earth creation perspective from the Answers in Genesis staff at his Creation Museum.
We joined Ken Ham and Bodie Hodge as they discussed Bill Nye's new book, human genome editing, taking back the rainbow, and more discussed on the August 3 episode of Answers News.

Thanks for having me! For those who don't know, this is my, Jade West's, TH-cam account.
meleagrisfelis love your t-shirt!
Nice to meet you.
ok,
thank you for being here!!
“Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, “This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!” This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it’s still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”
- Douglas Adams.

As I was cooking breakfast, I found myself singing the "Ham and AIG" song, and now, here you are. If that's not proof of God.....
🤣🤣😂😂
John Williams Burl Ives is better.
The Lord works in mysterious ways... what other possibility could there be? Zeus? Lol right
Eric Dumont no...
I am god. The god of pancakes. Worship my whipped insides and love thou buttery flavor. 😂😂😂😂
lol i live in birmingham england and i find myself singing this at work i get some right looks from my work mates
In fact, the Christian proscription against suicide was enacted by the Church because clerics were killing themselves to skip life and cut ahead in the queue to Heaven... So much for Ken and Bodie's point.
yes, putting in a clause that suicide is a crime is a bit annoying, we could've witnessed darwin at work almost in real time.
“God’s not going to let man destroy this earth” .... that’s God’s job!
Sorry to hear about Jade's passing. ☹️ 💐
Secularists like us deal with loss by enjoying the memories, remembering the good times, just like re- watching this video.
Thank you.
Jade died?
I laughed so loudly at "answers" "news". I was too busy thinking which one you'll choose to put quotations around, so when you put it around both, you absolutely had me. Fantastic video as always!
At 3:03 "Climate this week is different to last week anyway" - No Ken, no, that's called weather.
I have heard and spoken with many Christinans and their pastors about "going right now". They all say, belly's wagging and cheeks turning bright, that they are ready RIGHT NOW for his glorious return. The dying part seems less stimulating, but they all, without exception, continue to save for the future, eye the stock market warily and plan on sending their children to college (Christina of course). I feel the battle rage rising even as I type this.
Wouldn't it be funny if Ken's arc was destroyed by bad weather?
Given the video, I want Ken to build Trump's wall. A rainbow wall *would* keep out the homophobes. ;)
OneClownShoe Hell, If that money-pit burned to ashes he'd throw a party! As it currently stands, Ham is going to lose untold millions on that wooden piece of junk, but if something were to happen to it he could cash in that massive insurance policy that he no doubt has on it
.
but it would be amazing if the insurance company denied it on grounds of 'act of god'.
Or a short circuit with all that wood, the arc would turn into a mother of all bonfires!
A surgical strike by a tornado would be quite satisfying (no injuries of course), but for sheer irony, you couldn't beat a flood.
As a bonus, he's not likely carrying flood insurance.
Why do Christians buy insurance anyway? Doesn't it show a lack of faith?
The trump jokes will never stop. And I love it.
Thank God I did not have ham & eggs this morning or the song would have been stuck in my head all day.
"Why in god's name would someone who has one dollar want two dollars?" - Ken Ham
"Why in god's name would anyone with half a mind want a whole mind?" - Ken Ham
Imagine going to a job interview and having to admit that your last job was as Ken Ham's sidekick, validating every stupid thing that came out of Ken's mouth! Almost makes you feel sorry for the poor guy - almost.
Good grief, that Trump commercial was cringe-worthy.
I'm gonna use a line I saw another person use in a video. "If god made us from dust, why is there still dust? Checkmate, Christians!"
_"that Trump commercial was cringe-worthy."_
Yes. I think that did lend to it being somewhat convincing.
I really hope that it was a satire commercial. There's no way that he made that in seriousness
It seems like while Raymond came up with the _concept_ of the MRI scanner, it was the two others who received the prize who actually figured out how to make it practical and useful as opposed to tediously slow. One thing's for certain though, *no one* used *any* creationist ideas in the making of this thing.
“We don’t deny climate change, climate change happens, climate’s different this week than it was last week anyway”
Ham....no. That isn’t what climate means. That’s weather
I absolutely hate it when Ken & Co ramble about atheists wouldn't need to take care of the world because it's their only life.
Are they so self-centered? Do they even think a minute about the fact that there are children, grand-children, future generations to come which have to live in the very same world?
If you think you're going into a better next life, good for you. Does this justify to make this "god given" world a mess where your children can't live in any more?
It's not only their own live atheists care about but also the lives of their children.
This arrogance of Ken Ham makes me sick.
Fantastic episode Paul. Your description of your struggle with the abortion issue was particularly poignant. As a male I pretty much concluded a long time ago that it's a female issue and left it at that, but I always felt that I had not thought it through very well. Your thought process made sense to me. Thanks for doing this.
I'm female, raised Catholic, and abortion was the one issue that I had a hard time coming to terms with long after I'd kick all faith aside.
My problem was, I thought it was wrong but I am absolutely sure it's what I'd do if I became pregnant. I find the idea of my having children to be too disturbing for words but even before I was sexually active, I knew for a fact that if I ever became pregnant I'd have an abortion...even though I thought it was wrong.
This caused quite some conflict that bordered on cognitive dissonance. I attended Catholic school and was the token atheist who had no issues slamming the church on its stance on lgbt rights, on suicide and euthanasia, etc. But when it came to abortion, I couldn't bring myself to criticize the church as it made me feel like something of a hypocrite.
This bothered me a lot for a quite a while. Strangely enough, or not, once I did become sexually active- and highly conscious about contraception- I stopped caring. You'd think it'd be the other way around but now that it wasn't an abstract hypothetical but something that could actually happen, I realized it was entirely my decision.
Thanks for this perspective.
I agree, being a male I don't agree with abortion but I can't see myself saying what a female can do. It should be an individual choice.
Ken Ham may be a literal con-man but there's something about Todd Friel that just makes my blood boil. I think it's his smarmy, used-car-salesman personality.
Don't worry. You won't be seeing Todd again unless he's on Answers News again.
Todd triggers me. On a more serious note, I find the man absolutely despicable. I remember he had this skit in which he harped about children being sinful, complete with the most artificial of pitches to his whiny voice.
Horrible and vile creature.
Yes. Todd Friel is all those things and more
Think you have best grip on reality I have seen. Keep up the work. Thanks
Raymond Damadian did not invent the MRI Scanner, most of his work ended up being too flawed for practical purposes but he did play a role in its development but clearly the man most responsible was Paul Lauterbur as most of Damadian's work ended up being proven not reliable in detecting cancer. There has been quite a few reviews over this although Damadian has his supporters.
Thank you so damn much for having a woman weigh in on women’s medical issues on this one. I’ve been binging your channel for a while, and have been wanting to respond for a while, but this hit home. The issue of abortion is what set me on the path to anti-theism, and I’m grateful you tapped a lady for this issue
You need to reprise Ham and Aigs at the end of your video. It makes a nice closing theme.
Those who brazenly claim to have the answer simply lack the life experience to see the gaping hole in their argument. Additionally, even if they are correct, their attitude of self assurance guarantees that they will be met with little to no success in persuading others. Humility is our friend.
"Answers" "news" Best usage of "" I have seen in a while.
I don't know if it's just me, but I think Paul's jokes are getting better, I find myself laughing more in the last few episodes. Still funny before, but keeps getting better, that's all I mean. Keep it up! Another great video pointing out all these absurdities!
WoW, you're the man. I'm so glad that you've created this channel. You have proved yourself as a great, and I do mean great, debunker.
Shabbat Shalom! Left wing Reform Jew here. 2nd maybe 3rd post. As much as I like to binge on your shows, any of the AIG footage is soooo hard to take. I guess like hot peppers or laying on a bed of nails it feels good when its over. Your guests especially Morgan (I think, mea culpa if wrong) help me see the humor in it so vision doesn't get a red tinge to it, especially the dumpy know-it-all. No wait, the "fallacy" goof. Nope, nope hands down Ken is the hardest o take. He doesn't listen to anyone with any depth at anytime, even a debate. He is just waiting for his chance to make a fool; of himeslf, I mean talk. Poor Ken, has to be about him or a book. HAS TO. Man, I am glad I got that out of my system., Thanks! Also ironically thanking heaven* you and the whole Atheist community keep after these imbeciles. *yeah, yeah. I doubt it, too BUT if there is one, me Mum is there ;-) Rock on! PS uhhh Ken or his lackey Googling his name, we Jews sure enjoy this one shot we get called life, too.
6:00 " _I invented that little thing that holds the end of the shoe lace together and that let's me be an expert when it comes to string theory_ ..." Did anyone else notice that they always refer to the *_wrong_* PhDs? If I have a math problem I usually do not go to the sports teacher and if I want to know something about evolution or geology, why should I go to the religion teacher? Or to the guy who invented the MRI?
Even Moby said we are made of stars, and he had a pony on his butt too! Not sure how that relates, but Moby had a song about that.
Hi there. I just wanted to say 'yes! I'm enjoying these videos!' keep 'em coming
Great video, thanks.
From Wikipedia:
Raymond Vahan Damadian (born March 16, 1936) is an American physician, medical practitioner, and inventor of the first MR (Magnetic Resonance) Scanning Machine. Damadian's research into sodium and potassium in living cells led him to his first experiments with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) which caused him to first propose the MR body scanner in 1969. Damadian discovered that tumors and normal tissue can be distinguished in vivo by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) because of their prolonged relaxation times, both T1 (spin-lattice relaxation) or T2 (spin-spin relaxation). Damadian was the first to perform a full body scan of a human being in 1977 to diagnose cancer. Damadian invented an apparatus and method to use NMR safely and accurately to scan the human body, a method now well known as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Actually Joni Mitchell said it much earlier: "We are stardust, billion year old carbon, we are golden"
Delen on B5 said the same thing. I am amazed that I'm made of star dust.
Raymond never invented the MRI but had an experiment and an patent pending for creating datapoints using nucular magnetic frequencies (for cancer treatment)
He never had any idea how to make it a imigeing technique usable by your run of the mill doctor. All this was work in 1977 - keep that in mind when looking up the work of the two noted sientists.
Paul Lauterbur had the theory figured out behind the MRI(1973) (even before Damadian made his experiments 1977) and shortly after Mansfield worked out the method how to use the datapoints the MRI figures out and interprete them as imiages.
Raymond Damadian won a court ruling because of a patent he had made earlier whichs fundamental ideas then were also used in the MRI. But his Nuclear magnetic resonance scanner was set out to detect cancer but never used due to the high failure rate.
This court ruleing often is used by Damadian and the creationists to claim the whole idea of the MRI on him and nobody else.
If an error is found please let me know.
ITs worthwhile reading the talk page on Damadian's Wikipedia article; someone with the energy needs to take that article in hand.
I live in Quebec. The climate here never made sense to me but now it's just wacko! The day to day difference are astonishing and this winter the heat system of our building couldn't even keep up. In 36 years of existence I've never had a winter were I almost spent 0$ on heating...
There is a clip out there of a climate change commission meeting in US where they begin with the biblical quote which says good will never again destroy the world with a flood. With that, they packed there stuff and went home, commission disbanded after 10 minutes. Lol. Love the song Paul.
15:51 Thank you, Frank.
Watching your videos and liking them more and more. I'm almost wondering if it's not better to have been brought up forced into Christian beliefs until you disbelieve anything which contradicts them. Then, let loose on the world, asking questions and forced to properly probe for the truth, you become a truly enlightened individual.
Your insights are really inspiring. Thanks.
I have to admit they did a great parody of Donald Trump. I'm surprised he hasn't sued then, he's known for his thin skin.
Was the impersonator Ham himself? If he was, then I have to applaud him. I could barely recognize his accent.
I agree. I thought it was pretty FUNNY also.
I genuinely enjoyed it. And I could clearly see mr two corinthians actually saying it.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they attack SNL for its “liberal agenda” in their parodies of trump though
He missed his calling as a comedian.
"Good preacher" Ken Ham.
I love you them song I sing it all the time..
They taught me at Disneyworld orientation that the "exit THROUGH the gift ship" model was invented by Walt himself. Genius.
16:07 FFS, There he goes again, conflating secularism/atheism with nihilism. Creationists and their strawmen.
Experts say that the Great Barrier Reef is dead in 15 years and it's very likely that we have already passed the point of no return in the matter of the reef.
Luckily we don't need any biodiversity, because god will fix everything. What a relief...
We can still try and save everything above water and hope that the effects of the death of coral reefs won't necessarily result in our extinction.
I agree with you about Bill Nye's new show. He demonstrates all the tropes of a televangelist.
Sounds like I need to check out your blog....
Pennywise just wanted to let give those kids cotton candy and bloons but he got assulted instead.
+Paulogia, Congrats on making it big Subwise.
You getting more famous has had an odd side effect on me too. Now I am getting a lot of likes on that one comment I left on one of your earliest videos pointing out the part where one couldn't hear you over your intro music.
100% agree with your take on Ronald McDonald. Young Elvis v Old Elvis. LOL.
Man I wish I found these vids sooner they truly are amazing!!!! And I can't believe how 1 tracked minded Kent can be... I literally can't understand it.. and Paul if you wanna talk Star Wars for like 3 hours in between or during other topics . DO IT!!! Can't see anyone complaining.. 😅
When they mention the expected value to be $150 million, I don't think they mean that to be the value of the land at the time of purchase. If so, those 800-acres would have been astronomically more expensive than what unimproved land typically goes for in Grant county.
I think by 'expected value' they mean what it is expected to be worth *after* improvements (ie. after they build the Ark Encounter. ). They even stated earlier in the article you quoted that it was a $150 million project, which I assume is where they got the 'expected value' from.
Here's a listing I found for unimproved property in Grant county. It's the first listing for such land that I came across and it comes out to $3500/acre, which is less than half the price/acre Ham is claiming to have paid for the 800 acres (or 700 if take out the 100 acres that was given to him).
www.landwatch.com/Grant-County-Kentucky-Land-for-sale/pid/25057649
If we extrapolate that out to 800 acres, it comes to $2.8 million.
If all those numbers are right, then it would seem the question is, why'd they pay so much? Do they benefit in some way by inflating the value? Or, maybe it's just more expensive to try to put together 800 acres. Or, maybe the property was already improved in someway. Or, .... I don't know.
Wretched Radio and Wretched TV would be great material for you to take on...Todd is a former stand up comic and can be funny...he used to work with Ray and Kirk at Living Waters.
I realise that Americans have a problem following irony at times but I wasn't aware that Australians had the same issue - Ken Ham and the "good girl" section argument....
You don't know a lot about Damadian, but it is absolutely right to point out that he didn't invent MRI. He developed and patented a method of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging in the mid-70s, but that method was never commercially viable, because (basically) it was the worse of the available technologies on the market, which were built based on the work of Mansfield and Lauterbur (the guys you note won the Nobel). Basically, Damadian can say, "I built the first MRI that was used to fully scan a human," but that's sort of a cheap caveat because (a) M&L didn't scan a full body until they had done a bunch of testing on animals and (b) it turned out that the technology wasn't nearly as effective as what M&L would eventually develop, and as a result was never competitive with their project. Instead, Damadian has maintained a decent business developing patents for MRI related technology largely off a ~$130m ruling against GE for patent violations. He's a smart guy, and a good and important medical engineer and intellectual property figure... but to say he "invented the MRI" is (at best) misleading. The answer to that question is either Carr (who developed two dimensional images in the 50s) or M&L (who created the technology foundational to conventional mapping techniques). Damadian has a place in telling the story, but that's a pretty significant exaggeration.
Only issue I have is, Damadian did develope the MRI, though saying he "invented" is tricky bc the science behind the MRI took a lot of research. It wasn't like someone just thought it up one night. But also, the fact that he didn't receive the Nobel isn't a matter of the Nobel people doing their homework. There was a major controversy over whether he should get the prize, and many believe the indecisiveness of the Nobel folks was why it took so long for anyone to get the prize regarding MRI science. Damadian received many other awards and honors for his work developing MRI science
Todd Friel seasons the blandness of AiG with his dad-style snark.
Wow...
I mean one thing's true, watching Ken Ham drains my will to live.
If the ark they built is so great, they should put it out to sea.
this video was all over the place
Lol... it was Carl Sagen who said it first.
I need to get my passport and head up across the Lakes to watch a hockey game and shoot the breeze with you.
At 16 minutes and 40 seconds or so, when you said that about Christians, why would they want to spend anymore time here?
As having been raised as a believer, and admittedly struggling with it even up to now, i will admit that is a question that has gone through my mind. You Paul you know thank you for your channel. I will not say I'm an atheist, I'm still rather uncomfortable with the idea but otherwise i will admit you think more like me than do other believers I've spoken with who don't seem to get it.
I've had my own dealings with AiG over the years, including an impromptu debate with Ken Ham on a set of escalators in Brisbane, Australia (the ancestral home of AiG). Anyway, here is my video about how AiG pushed me over the edge.
That is the worst tRump impersonator.
If we are made from dust, and AiG says...doesn't that mean we came from "rocks"?
I thought he did a pretty good impression, even if he didn't look like tRump. (His hands were way too big.)
..he doesn't look anything like Trump, but his voice is incredibly close.
I wouldn't say that. The voice is pretty spot-on.
My 6 year old sings the ham and eggs song lol
I think Aron Ra plays heavy metal guitar. You should ask him to play the Ham&AiG intro for a change in pace.
The rainbow is Bifrost, the bridge to Asaheim(Asgard) its all explained in the eddas, wich is th eone true faith. ( starting the norse myth creation movment now)
Was the coat of the land estimated at 150 million per Acre?
(huge thanks to Bryce McCandless!
Acre.
thanks man!
I would hold it in if I saw people filming doing an interview.
Adam being made from dirt is actually a wordplay Adama, and has been used as a metaphor by the church for a very long time. It's applied to all of humanity. Think of Ash Wednesday services.
Ark Accounting (tax law, purchase costs etc) as fascinating as their creationism geochronology, ain't it!
Love her miskatonic shirt
Weird Al recorded "My Bologna" in the men's room across the hall from the radio station at Cal Poly SLO.
There's twenty in a carton they make great gifts. LOL. Pretty good Bill pretty good
It doesn't say that the land at the time of purchase was 150 million dollars, but that was the "expected value" presumably after development. Since we don't know the value of the land at purchase it would be difficult to call 6 million dollars almost free.
No, you can't sell land at a projected value. Before it was developed it was not worth 150 million dollars, it was by putting time and money into it that increased the value of the land. How much money did Hamm spend developing that land? You have to take that into account.
+Biggie B, _"No, you can't sell land at a projected value."_
Actually you can and it's done all the time. If I had a piece of land worth $10M that if I invested $20M in improvements to would be worth $50M, I would be able to factor that potential net increase in value into the value of the property ($20M) at sale. So I would be able to charge say $20M for the land based on it's future worth. That's standard business practice when valuing land (among other things).
Let's say you had a computer that was broken, so it has a value of $0. But the part to fix it only costs $10, so I could take your non-functional computer, fix it and have a functional computer for $10 that's worth say $200. So are you just going to give away your computer? Or sell it for $5? Or are you going to try to get $150 for it hoping someone will buy it on the speculation that a $10 part will fix it. (assuming there is some reason why you don't buy the $10 part and fix it yourself)
It is no surprise at all that Ham should hitchhike on Trump ... since so many of the YECers will have voted for him
But it was so strange that they want the endorsement but specifically bring up his lack of biblical knowledge. Seemed like a mixed message for his audience.
well, they've got their Kulturkampf friends around him, Pence and the prayer circle, most of the cabinet ... Trump can be an expendable buffoon for them now
+Paulogia It sounded like a parody. Did Ken Ham retweet it not knowing what it was?
To be honest, it felt just as likely that they were making fun of him.
He even flat out says "Two great things happened! First, _I_ got elected!"
Sure that COULD mean that Ham supported him, but it could also be a stab at Trump's Argentinosaurus-sized ego.
Ken Ham = Mose Schrute

What part of Creation Science did he use while inventing the MRI? None? Then the fact that he's a creationist has nothing to do with it.
When I was a believer there was no right, wrong, bad or good because all I had to do was confess, pray and repent. The answer was in his fucking comment when we die it's over so we want to live as long as possible. I want to know why believers want to extend their life.
Whoever did the trump impression, 10/10 😂
Ken Ham should be PRAYING for more brain cel's !
Okay, I think the 'good girl' bit is actually simpler than you explained it, Paul. I think it's literally quoting someone who described the accused as a 'good girl'. Which was shocking enough to make the title of the article more click-baity.
"Ya don't drink, don't smoke and don't go with those that do' seems to have been our motto. Playing cards was "ok" so long as they were kids games and not done with smoking and drinking involved.
Oy!
Ken's promo video was actually kinda funny
1:14 What in the actual fuck did I just watch? I'm honestly speechless after that one.
The relativity thing, Reminds me of Aron at the ark, being from texas, it was not too hot cause he had a hat
Here's some irony. I actually watched a few vids of Wretched before I realized it wasn't a channel making fun of Christians... I was on a street preacher kick at the time. It was a studio vid of his that made me realize otherwise. Oh and he replied to a comment of mine on one of his vids.
Ken Ham - "We don't deny climate change. Climate change happens. Climate this week is different from last week anyway."
(facepalm) OK, Ken Ham also doesn't understand the difference between "climate" and "weather". Add that to the long list of things he doesn't understand.
Please, please add a link to your blog to the show more section.
The AIG line up Crick: Ken; Crock: Bodie and Crack: Georgia. Therefore Crick, Crock and Crack. I noticed Crack isn't on the panel today.
Correction: abortion is about the rights of the woman vs the 'rights' of the foetus. The woman is not a mother until a viable offspring has been born.
OMFG! Their narcissism knows no bounds!
Paul. Why is it that n coming into this particular episode, there is some guy rabbiting on about Jewish Angels. I cut it off after about two seconds. Big fan by the way.
32 degrees American…that checks out.
In a secular world why would I care about slowing aging? Seriously? This is the only life I've got, if I can extend it (healthily) a few decades then that's great. In a theocratic world with everlasting perfection in heaven, why would you care about life on earth? Make your piece with god then just stop eating until you die and go to heaven.
This darkmatter2525 video ( _If Heaven Really Existed_ ) is very apropos here: th-cam.com/video/dMaK6k4oZ20/w-d-xo.html
So Ken, do you truly believe heaven exists or do you just really hope it does?
at 7 minutes I must sadly concur with you on Bill Nye;s show. I love his books, interviews and debates but the show really didn't reach out and grab.
I was not ready for that donald trump impression
