Thank you for putting the ’Answers with Ken Ham’ DVD series on-line for free access. Over the years many have made the claim that the Bible, especially the Old Testament (OT), has been changed and revised throughout the centuries, but this is indeed a baseless claim. This, of course, presupposes that the Bible is not what it claims to be- the Word of God-and ignores the supporting evidence for its divine authorship. You do realize that the bible is simply a collection of stories and writings (which has varied throughout the centuries) and it cannot be “witness” to anything past or present? We often claim that God is an eyewitness to His creative acts and has given us an eyewitness account in His Word, the Bible. What we almost exclusively say is that we have been given an eyewitness account to creation (and subsequent events) in the Bible. This is a very silly thing to say.Īfter a search of 100 articles on our site, only one could possibly be taken that way-clearly out of context with the rest of the website. I’ve noticed often on your site that you claim that the bible is an “eyewitness” to creation. I don’t know if you’ll use this feedback, seeing as how you’ve shied from several other inquiries I’ve sent in (aw-dawm and ruddy man for instance), but at least reconsider the whole Genesis/witness thing. I think it’s fine to believe whatever you wish about creation, but it is irresponsible to present Genesis or the Bible as a “witness” to creation a generalized account based on limited human understanding? - Yes. And the writer of Genesis lived much too long after creation to be a witness.

The writing of Genesis itself is far too removed from the time of creation to be a witness. This better explains the problems in Genesis, which God would have surely clarified if He ordained and guided the writing of any account of His creation. Instead it is much more plausible that the writer of Genesis merely took initiative (whether by God’s prompting or not) to write down the traditional story of creation handed down from generation to generation. There is no declaration in Genesis that the writer was to write the creation account from the very words of God. You do realize that the bible is simply a collection of stories and writings (which has varied throughout the centuries) and it cannot be “witness” to anything past or present? I assume your point is that God was the witness to His own creation, and that Genesis is allegedly a written account of creation received word for word from God.
