"In videos and writings that are widely consumed by evangelicals, [Ken Ham] encourages students to ask their science teachers "Were you there?" when they talk about the past."
"In a recent piece titled "Nine Year Old Challenges Nasa," Ham blogged proudly about "Emma B" who, when told that a NASA moon rock was 3.75 billion years old, asked "Were you there?"
...and then all said teachers have to reply in turn is this:
'As opposed to... Creation, as described in Genesis in the Bible; compared to all the archaeological/geological/Carbon-14 evidence, were you there, when God said "Let there be light"...? If so, then you can show us how to enter another world where one can meet a talking lion. Just because 'It Is Written' in "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" by Christian author CS Lewis; here's a cupboard one keeps clothes in - I'm suuuure the US Air Force would love a demonstration; imagine, a Stargate for real?! [/hyper-sarcasm]'
Then Emma B's argument had it's lights (and metaphorical teeth) punched in so far, it had to use Preparation H as toothpaste, a la that journalist to Buzz Aldrin once. And Hammy's went down in flames as surely as Porkins' X-Wing did in "Star Wars ep. IV".
After all, are you going to say to the face of the Honourable Judge John E. Jones III (A Christian Conservative like you) - re. Kitzmiller vs. Dover, and his decision - 'Were you there?'
Bring a lawyer. And money. Lots of money.
'I know. 'Cos I was there!'
