“Auzim adesea comentarii din partea parintilor, cum ca odraslele lor s-au razvratit impotriva eticii crestine, intreband de ce trebuie sa asculte de regulile parintilor lor. Unul din principalele motive pentru care se intampla acest lucru este ca parintii nu si-au instruit copii dintr-o perspectiva fundationala cu privire la ceea ce trebuie si ce nu trebuie sa faca. In cazurile in care copii vad regulile ca nimic mai mult decat opiniile parintilor lor, de ce sa le mai asculte? Este e diferenta enorna atunci cand parintii ii invata pe copii de la cea mai frageda varsta ca Dumnezeu este Creatorul si ca El a stabilit ceea ce este bine si ce este rau. Regulile vin de la Dumnezeu si prin urmare, trebuie respectate. Este imposibil sa zidesti o cladire fara sa-i asezi fundatii, insa aceasta este ceea ce incearca sa faca multi parinti in educatia copiilor lor. Rezultatele unor asemenea incercari sunt pretutindeni in jurul nostru - o generatie in care tot mai multi il resping pe Dumnezeu si absoluturile crestinismului.”
Kenneth Alfred Ham (born October 20, 1951) is the Australian-born president of Answers in Genesis USA. A vocal advocate for a young Earth and a literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis, his cross-country speaking tours and many books make him one of the better known young-Earth creationists.
Between 1987 and 1993, Ham worked for the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), one of the oldest American Creationist organisations, and a leading young-Earth organisation.
In 1994, with the assistance of what is now Creation Ministries International (Australia), Ham and colleagues Mark Looy and Mike Zovath set up Creation Science Ministries, later renamed Answers in Genesis. The Christian ministry specialises in Young Earth Creationism, and is primarily devoted to convincing people that the initial chapters in Genesis should be taken as literally true and historically accurate.
For his contributions to evangelism, he has been granted two honorary degrees (by Temple Baptist College in 1997 and by Liberty University in 2004). Answers in Genesis opened its $27 million, 70,000 sq ft (6,500 m2) Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky on May 28, 2007.
