Six Days: The Age of the Earth and the Decline of the Church

by Ken Ham

Today, most Bible colleges, seminaries, K-12 Christian schools, and now even parts of the homeschool movement do not accept the first eleven chapters of Genesis as literal history. They try to fit the supposed billions of years into Genesis, and some teach evolution as fact. Our churches are largely following suit. Ken Ham, international speaker and author on biblical authority, examines how compromise starting in Genesis, particularly in regard to the six days of creation and the earth’s age, have filtered down from the Bible colleges and seminaries to pastors and finally to parents and their children. This erosive legacy is seen in generations of young people leaving the Church-2/3 of them. Get the facts, discover God’s truth, and help bring a new reformation to the Church by helping to call it back to the authority of God’s Word.

About the author

Dr. Ken Ham is the president of Answers in Genesis USA and is a well-known speaker and author on the subject of Young-Earth Creationism. He received a bachelor degree in applied science (emphasis on environmental biology) from the Queensland Institute of Technology, and a Diploma of Education from the University of Queensland. He has also received two honorary doctorates: a Doctor of Divinity from Temple Baptist College, and a Doctor of Literature from Baptist Liberty University.

He was a director of Creation Science Foundation (CSF) in Australia, an organization which he jointly founded with John Mackay. In 1987 he moved to the United States, still maintaining his links with CSF.

From 1987 to 1993, Ham worked for the Institute for Creation Research, and in 1994 set up what in 1995 became Answers in Genesis (AiG), a creation ministry dedicated to "upholding the authority of the Bible from the very first verse."

In 2008 Ham was described by well known atheist and evolutionary biologist PZ Myers as a "Wackaloon" for carrying out a prayer session with members of the Pentagon. Ham responded regarding the validity of that prayer breakfastand that PZ Myers and other critics were intolerant of his position.

This is an important book for understanding the biblical position on origins. I appreciated the emphasis on creation as an authority issue, not a salvation issue. Ham repeatedly states that while a young-earth creation view is not a requirement for salvation, it is nonetheless a critical issue for establishing the authority of God’s Word on its own terms, rather than requiring God’s Word to mesh with man’s word before we believe it.

Ham goes into great detail in addressing the various views on the age of the earth and providing well-developed answers from the Word of God. I appreciated his tone which, while firm, was also compassionate and kind.

I am giving 4 stars only because some of the material is repetitive across chapters and with some of Dr. Ham’s other work.

I happen to agree with the author on most points, but this book is written in such a way that it feels like one is reading propaganda. I would far rather have read a book about the evidence (and been allowed to arrive at my own conclusions), instead this book seems short on evidence & simply lays out for you which conclusions you must draw! Also, I grew tired of the author's insistence on bashing fellow Christians specifically and repeatedly. Not my cup of tea.

3.5 stars ⭐ This book gave me a lot of good information on how to go on the offensive about Genesis issues, but almost nothing for being on the defensive. Hence, I found it a bit lacking.

Ken Ham would have made a good attorney if he had not chosen to dedicate his life to creation science and defending Biblical worldviews against the onslaught that challenges such positions. In his new book "Six Days" he argues passionately, unreservedly and without apology for the Biblical position of creation that is based on six literal days and not on the millions or billions of years associated with the evolutionary theories of the world. He presents his case coming from several different angles and gives the reader plenty to think about in this challenging book.
The book focuses on the arguments raging even among Christian circles that the Bible book of Genesis, chapters 1-11 specifically, should not be taken literally and can very easily be compatible with the scientific discoveries of man and the record "millions of years" of life on the earth. In order to effectively counter the arguments used by those who oppose a literal, six day account of creation, Noah's flood and other passages found in Genesis, the author first has to define terms. After emphasizing the importance of proper foundations in this area, he defines 'science', distinguishing between observational science and historical science.
Moving on to describing the difference between exegesis and eisegesis in interpreting the Biblical text, the author lays a foundation for explaining why he believes the unnecessary inclusion of reading 'millions of years' into the Bible narratives is not only problematic, but can lead to greater questioning of other Biblical texts, such as the resurrection of Jesus. And, while this may sound to someone reading this review as a wide gap between doubting six literal days and doubting Jesus' resurrection, Ken Ham states his case emphatically and provides the reasons he believes such a connection can easily be made.
I enjoyed the fact that Ken Ham is passionate about what he believes in the book. I also liked the fact that he is not simply reciting the literal six day creation position without scientific support. There are thousands of scientists who do not support evolutionary views, and his organization Answers in Genesis publishes a considerable amount of material to present concrete evidence of their vies. But, perhaps what I appreciated most was that the book is not simply trying to prove his point on the six days of creation, but rather to emphasize that how we interpret scripture determines how we will inevitably live, and compromising in one part of the Bible can lead to compromising other parts, with possible eternal implications.
A trailer about the book is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwq_jP... . I received this book for free through the Master's Books, a division of New Leaf Press Publishing Group, book review program for bloggers at nlpg.com.

The fight that the author espouses is not one of merely six days of creation, it is fighting for Biblical truth. May this book better equip you to win.

Perhaps when one thinks about the account of creation in Genesis, one's first though is not about the authority of Scripture. But the authority of Scripture, and the veracity of God is at stake in the creation account. That is the case made by Ken Ham in "Six Days: The Age of the Earth and the Decline of the Church," and the case presented by Ham is compelling, based on a straightforward, historical grammatical interpretive approach to Scripture.

Ham also makes the case that when one rejects God's Word about the creation of the universe, then one tends to begin questioning other biblical dogma, such as the historical Adam, the reality of a worldwide flood, the reason for sin and death, and the reality of the Gospel. Unfortunately, in our day, so-called "science" is revered, while the God who created every scientific principle that is known or could be known, is marginalized and questioned, just like the serpent in Genesis 3 said, "Has God really said?" Ham asserts that once God cannot be trusted to speak on creation (by the way, he was the only One there), then the foundation begins to crumble, and human wisdom becomes a substitute for God's wisdom.

The central issue according to Ham is this: Can God be trusted or not? Many Christian leaders have tried to obliquely question God's Word in a blatant attempt to explain the principles of evolution, and the timeframe of millions of years. But as Ham points out, that is backwards. Only when one listens to the God of the universe may one begin to understand a wholistic view of reality, and only then may one answer the age-old questions: Where did I come from? Why am I here? What is my destiny? What does it all mean?

Sadly, when man substitutes his wisdom for God's, the result is a naturalistic cosmology that is unable to answer the big questions, even as its rancid view of reality leaves man in a hopeless, futureless state devoid of meaning. The Church needs to build on the foundation of the God-breathed, trustworthy, error-free, Word. Accommodation of the world is emnity with God. Nothing less than the hope of the world is at stake. So, read this book, stand on God's Word and faithfully proclaim God's wisdom in all things--even the literal 6, 24 hour days of creation. Happy reading!

In many ways I felt this book as being a sequel to his more popular book "The Lie." As so often is the case, sequels aren't usually as good as the original. Having said that I think the content is important to read and consider. The strength of this book is that it displays a broader church that lacks Biblical authority on the foundational book of Genesis. It accurately covers the various extra-Biblical theories poured into Genesis, showing their weakness and harm to the church. The author points out great men of God, theologians and academics of the faith, who rather than taking the Bible for what is clearly says morph into something it doesn't say based on alien ideas. I believe it would be extremely hard for a young person to hear the gospel and then hear that the history the gospel is rooted in isn't real. Young people are smart enough to know that doesn't add up.

The weakness of this book is that it takes a very layered approach. You learn about the same theories of Genesis from different vantage points which does feel very repetitive. Also if you've read this author or listened to this author speak, then there will be many area's that you only skim through. Given how rapidly the culture and church are changing the book does seem already dated in terms of the issues which have rapidly grown since 2013 when this book was written.

All in all worth a read and filled with content to consider. Either the Bible stands on the history of Genesis or it collapses. The author correctly points out that this indeed isn't a salvation issue, but it is a Biblical authority issue. That it's a disincentive for the church to share Jesus with authority to a lost world, but then discount the very first book of the Bible. Which explains our origins and ultimate need for a savior in the first place.

As I read the book a quote came to my mind often. (which is not in the book)

"It is said among us, “If we continue to maintain that God created the world in six days, we will not be granted academic respectability.” To which we must reply, well, who cares? Why should we care that the guardians of the academy believe we are not intellectually respectable? They believe that the moose, the sperm whale and the meadowlark are all blood relatives. Why do we want their seal of approval? It is like asking Fidel Castro to comment on the economic viability of Microsoft."

Ken Ham correctly identifies the problem but offers the wrong solution. He apparently totally misses the point that one of the reasons young people are leaving the church is because the church comes across as antagonistic to science, having failed to teach them that the Bible can be compatible with modern science when the ancient Hebrew text of the Old Testament is understood in the way the ancient Israelites would have understood it, namely, as teaching about God and our relationship to God, not literal history or science.

Instead, Ken Ham believes in “the necessity of a Genesis that is understood in the way it was intended to be, as historical narrative teaching literal history.” He claims that “Genesis has been shown to be historical narrative” (p. 213), and his entire book is based on this claim, but he makes no attempt to establish his claim.

Ken Ham equates not accepting his personal interpretation of Genesis 1-11 with disbelieving the Word of God. He claims that if you don’t agree with his interpretation of Genesis 1-11, then you therefore believe that the Bible is untrustworthy. He calls for a return to the “authority of God’s Word,” but what he means is Ken Ham’s interpretation of God’s Word. He totally ignores the fact that the problem is not disagreeing with God’s Word. It is disagreeing with his interpretation of God’s Word. Ken Ham accuses William Lane Craig of not wanting to stand for God’s Word, but meaning not wanting to stand for Ken Ham’s interpretation of God’s Word.

In the book, Ken Ham claims that:
• The big bang, millions of years and evolution are false ideas without even attempting to demonstrate any basis for his statement, other than his particular interpretation of Genesis.
• Radiometric dating methods are full of problems, are not repeatable, and do not work and fallible secular dating methods are based on numerous fallible assumptions.
• The fossils are a result of the global flood.
• One kind evolving into a totally different kind simply will not and cannot happen.
• Evolution was an idea specifically developed to explain the world without God.
• There is a big difference between observational science and historical science.

Ken Ham refers to “millions of years” over 200 times in 220 pages of text as if that phrase had some meaning in a universe and earth that are billions of years old and in which the oldest fossils are more than three billion years old. He even writes of “believing in millions of years,” whereas “millions of years” is not a relevant time span in the history of the universe, earth or biological evolution.

It is interesting how well Ken Ham keeps up with the current Christian literature on the age of the earth and the creation/evolution debate. During the course of the book, he discusses the writings of 24 prominent Christian scientists and theologians but claims that all of them are wrong and he is right. If only he had read these Christian writers’ works with an open mind.

Overall, the book is a reasonably well-written, if somewhat repetitive, attempt to make a case for a woodenly literal interpretation of Genesis 1-11.

This is laughable. The "scholarship"
Here would be rejected for a high school research paper. His most frequent references are HIMSELF and the Internet including frequent references to YouTube. He does not reference a SINGLE peer review journal. Not even one.

Additionally the language is blatantly manipulative and lacking any claims to testable evidence. He talks a big talk and does nothing to back this up.

Nicest thing I can say is it's a mercifully fast read. I absolutely DO NOT recommend this and I would also dare to say this book should be kept away from young people or those without solid critical thinking skills because of its manipulation and absolute falsehood.

The best book I readed this year.

[Michael Boling · Rating 5 out of 5]

The issue of origins and how to interpret the message of Genesis is for some low on their theological radar and for others a source of great concern. The question of whether how one views the issue of origins being important for their overall understanding of Scripture and the theological truths subsumed therein, whether it impacts the authority of Scripture, or whether it bears any importance at all continues to be the subject of much debate. Ken Ham, in his latest book Six Days: The Age of the Earth and the Decline of the Church asserts there is a connection to be made between one’s approach to origins and the decline we are seeing occurring within the church, in particular to issues such as the aforementioned affirmation of Scripture as the fundamental source of where truth is found to include truth about the origin of all things.

Ham is a rather prolific author on the subject of origins having written a number of books for kids and adults on this particular subject matter. In all of Ham’s writing efforts, whether that is through published books or blog posts on the Answers in Genesis website, one reoccurring message rings through and that is the necessity of Scripture as the believer’s authority for all matters in life to include origins as well as the negative impact rejecting Scripture as the authority will have both on the church and society at large. While Six Days may not bring to light any new issues not already covered in Ham’s other books, it does compile a very worthwhile and effective discussion of what happens when people move away from the solid foundation of Scripture.

The pernicious influence of evolution according to Ham is one of the culprits for the decline of the modern church. Acceptance of evolutionary dogma to include millions of years, death before sin, a rejection of Adam and Eve as historical figures, the rejection of a global flood, and the perspective that Genesis does not contain the actual historically accurate account of how God created all things has permeated the church, its seminaries, and the perspective of God’s people regarding origins. This has all transpired under the guise of their possibly being a middle ground that can be toed on origins, something Ham rejects as being valid. He aptly notes “Christians need to wake up to the fact there is no neutral position and their students are really being indoctrinated into an anti-God religion in the public schools.” Furthermore, this anti-God agenda is noted by Ham as occurring in the halls of Christian institutions as well noting the words of teachers and professors at Christian schools, colleges, and seminaries who have called for a reevaluation and reformulation of the church’s stance on Adam and Eve or original sin in order to accommodate modern evolutionary based scientific dogma.

Ham does an excellent job of reminding the reader exactly what doing good science is all about. There is a difference between observational and operational science and Ham goes into great detail about how each functions in order to demonstrate to the reader that the study of evidence from the past is greatly influenced by one’s presuppositions. He also correctly notes that when we apply the rules of operational science for example to the study of fossils and rock layers, “it confirms catastrophism consistent with the Flood of Noah’s day. It does not confirm millions of years.” Thus, what we are left with is a battle between worldviews, one that affirms the truth of Scripture and one that rejects God as being part of the equation. It is this rejection of the authority and truth of Scripture that again is disturbing to Ham as it involves the element of compromise, namely allowing man’s fallible opinion to supersede the truth found in the pages of God’s word.

Understanding the truth of what is contained in Scripture is another issue discussed by Ham in this helpful book. For those who aver that science conflicts with Scripture or that somehow Scripture must bow to the will of modern and ever changing scientific dogma, Ham reminds them of how to properly approach Scripture to include engaging context, noting the absolute clarity of Scripture on issues such as the days of creation, and the need to compare Scripture with Scripture to obtain the overarching and consistent message it contains. Those who stray outside the confines of sound biblical exegesis will indeed find themselves questioning the validity of Scripture, something that Ham notes is happening at an alarming rate within the Church at large regarding the issue of origins.

What origins book would be complete without a discussion of the days of creation, specifically how to understand the Hebrew word yom? Ham does his usual excellent job of outlining the perspicuity of Scripture on this issue and how the word yom when understood within context can mean nothing other than six literal days with no hint of millions of years or long ages to be found. He rightly comments “You will find that all the various compromise positions on Genesis have one thing in common – attempting to fit millions of years into Genesis.” For the evolutionary minded individual, long periods of time are vital to their theory. The reality is that long ages or millions of years are absolutely absent from the Genesis account of creation thus requiring one to insert something into Scripture that does not belong. Interestingly, these same people who play fast and loose with the days of creation affirm a literal three day period of time for Jesus to be laid in the grave even though that context, as well as the context of the creation account, both without a doubt note actual and literal days.

If the opening chapters of Genesis cannot be trusted, one must certainly ask what impact that has on the remainder of Scripture. If we insert death and decay before sin, that damages the biblical message that death and decay are a product of sin and not a product of God’s original perfect creation thus impacting the entire redemption and restoration message found in Scripture. This and many other issues are addressed with great zeal and insight by Ken Ham in this excellent book. I highly recommend this work to all believers as the issue of origins is of vital importance to our understanding of the greater message of Scripture. In an age where compromise positions seem to be the new norm, this book will provide the reader with tools by which to have that needed conversation with those who have succumbed to inserting into Scripture what does not belong, namely an evolutionary based agenda that seeks to erode the foundation of God’s Word in the life of believers and in the Church. Ham’s book is a clarion call to return to Scripture as the foundation for truth.

What are our origins, how did we get here? Do we believe everything is true in the Bible, just as it is written? Or do we believe the theory of evolution? Perhaps, we want to have a foot in both camps. And that is what this book is about, Christians who want a little of each. A sort of hybrid Christian belief system made up of parts of the Bible, and parts of the evolution theory.

Currently, the biggest points of contention are the literal six-day creation, all of mankind descending from the same parents (a literal Adam and Eve), and a world-wide flood experienced by Noah in the ark. Some Christians today claim we are too modern or sophisticated to take the Bible at face value.

Mankind's great intellect has developed "flawless" ways of dating the earth. Since humankind could not be wrong, man's postulations must trump the Biblical accounts, there has to be more to the story.

Quite a list of theories has been compiled by those who claim to know what God really did. This is a small sampling:

• There might have been a gap of millions or billions of years between the very first and second verses in Genesis.
• Or Adam and Eve were ape-like creatures that God brought into the Garden of Eden. God breathed the breath of life into them making them fully human. After that, they completely forgot about their animal past.
• Perhaps the creation story and Noah's ark are just allegories or myths given to mankind.
• And finally, a flood did happen, but not world-wide. Ancient man was too unenlightened to know the difference between the small space he occupied on this planet, and the entire globe. So if his tiny village flooded, he would say the whole world had a flood.

Many Christian universities now have one or more professors or administrators not only disbelieving in a six day creation, but adopting one of these theories, and teaching it to our future pastors. Less the reader think this is only happening in liberal universities, it is going on in Christian colleges that were once thought of as very grounded and conservative.

Ken Ham states that in many churches today, the status quo seems to be not to worry about the accuracy of the Bible concerning man's history. Instead, ignore that question. Just believe in Jesus, and everything will work out okay.

Ken repeatedly makes the point that believing in a literal six-day creation, a world-wide flood, or Adam and Eve is not a salvation issue. Rather it is an issue of authority, the authority of God's word, the Bible.

By not believing part of the Bible, the foundation of the church is being undermined. Without a firm foundation, a fall will take place. Ken states that is just what is happening as shown by the mass exodus of youth from Christian beliefs. Man's theories, combined with throwing out, or adding to, God's word has caused many, including countless young people raised in Christian homes, to completely give up believing anything.

There was another time when man decided he knew how God really meant for events to happen. That whole affair involving Abraham, Sarah and Hagar, and the resulting fallout of that decision. The world is still dealing with the chaos involving the descendants of Ishmael and Isaac today. The old quote, “those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it” seems to be appropriate here.

This is a five-star book that covers a subject I think all Christians should familiarize themselves with. The author does a good job in stating the case for believing the literalness of the Biblical accounts. Ham proves his points by using the words of Moses, Jesus and Paul who referred to an actual six-day creation, a world-wide flood and a real Adam and Eve. As Christians, we have been told to go to the Bible to discern truth. Depending on if something is in-line with the Bible, will determine what we will believe. I think the Bible should be used in that way with this subject as well.

Ham, a former atheist, is a seasoned Biblical scholar, a prolific writer and an enthusiastic believer in the literalness of the Bible. He has spent many years building an impressive museum devoted to proving the six day creation account. This book contains a lot of information, and is not light reading. However, it is a readable work, and the knowledge gained will be well worth the effort.

A literal six days or millions of years?... an historical Adam and Eve or merely symbolic Adam and Eve? A world that was ''very good'' before the fall, or a world with death and pain before the Fall?...
Are each of these issues really important or do we, in our present age of freedom and personal opinions have the freedom to interpret Scripture as we decide? Or is Scripture perhaps...infallible?
As it has been for thousands of years?
As our forefathers found it to be?
As it has always proved to be?
As our eternal God has proclaimed it to be?
In this marvelous new book by Ken Ham, each of these topics and many more are carefully explained and discussed.
About the author:
Ken Ham is the president/CEO and founder of Answers in Genesis - U.S. and the highly acclaimed Creation Museum. Ken Ham is one of the most in-demand Christian speakers in North America. Ken's emphasis is on the relevance and authority of the book of Genesis and how compromise on Genesis has opened a dangerous door regarding how the culture and church view biblical authority. His Australian accent, keen sense of humor, captivating stories, and exceptional PowerPoint illustrations have made him one of North America's most effective Christian communicators.

I found this book, published by Master Books, to be fascinating.
Common arguments such as the meaning of ''day'' in Genesis, the age of the earth, 'Noah's' flood, fossil layers and more are explained in depth. Several subjects were covered which I had not even fathomed were questioned by not only the world but also by Christians today. I was shocked to read quotes from many popular and often enthusiastic Christian leaders which reveal that they question the truths of Genesis. I leave these fallacies and the Biblical arguments against them to be discovered by you when you read this book yourself!

In short, it all comes down to what we believe about the infallibility of God's Holy Word! There is absolutely no way to gloss over the truth-to doubt God's word is to doubt Him, because He is Truth. There can be no neutral ground or position!
As Ken Ham reiterates throughout the book, it's an authority issue.
''What we're seeing in the church today isn't very different from the temptation in the Garden of Eden: Genesis 3:1...'Did God really say....?'...Even today, about 6,000 years later, we are seeing man question the authority of Scripture, calling into question the trustworthiness and truthfulness of what God has said especially in Genesis 1:1-11.''
But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
(2 Corinthians 11:3)

The current spiritual state of this nation reflects the spiritual state of the church in general!
''One really cannot legislate morality....If the church want to be successful in changing society's attitudes towards certain sinful issues, it is going to have to fight the issue at a foundational level.''
The moral issues are symptoms of a greater and foundational problem.

Despite his bravely exposing the false doctrines and the dangerous weakness of the contemporary church, Mr. Ham does so in a loving and gracious manner. Nevertheless, the truth must be proclaimed and erroneous doctrine eradicated! Ken Ham also pleads with Christians of today that they train their children, their students, congregation, anyone under their influence to go back to the Bible.
To interpret Scripture by Scripture.
To cease trying to slip man's inventions into the Word. We are also encouraged to seriously study Apologetics.

I highly recommend Six Days to everyone! As I read it I was, from the first chapter, motivated to undertake the crucial task of applying the truths thus contained until I would ''Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks me to give the reason for the hope that I have....(1 Peter 3:15, paraphrased)

I know that I for one will be referring to this foundational book constantly throughout this year!

[Jacob Akens · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a pretty good book. I think Mr. Ham provided a few solid arguments for a literal “historical narrative” approach to understanding Genesis 1-11.

While I appreciated the theological arguments, such as the issue that arises if we believe death and disease were actually present long before Adam and Eve sinned and the consequences of the Fall affected mankind and the world itself, I was also hoping that the author would have gone into more detail concerning scientific evidence that would point to the literal interpretation of the early chapters of Genesis being true. Perhaps that type of information can be found in some of his other books, but I would have liked to have learned more about Mr. Ham’s claims that the modern dating methods are not entirely reliable and how the global flood is actually the best scientific theory for our modern rock layers and fossils that are found around the world.

All in all, though the book was a bit repetitive at times, I did enjoy reading it. I want to get a balanced perspective on the interpretation of the Creation Account, so now that I have finished Mr. Ham’s “Six Days” book, I plan to move on to read a book by a Christian author who believes Adam and Eve existed much longer than 6,000 years prior to now.

For my own future notes:

Page 38 - “As Romans tells us, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." There is another aspect to this that is so important. Some Christians tell people, "Just look at the creation. Can't you see there's a God?" How many times do we see some of our Sunday school literature and even children's books that tell kids to look at this "beautiful" world? They are taught that we can tell there is a God by looking at all the beauty out there. But I have news for people who teach this - it is not a completely beautiful world. In fact, our world is in many ways a very ugly world. In the beginning, it was all beauty - it was "very good" - but now it is marred by sin and the Curse.
Believers sometimes give non-Christians the wrong idea when they ty to argue for the existence of God based on the "beauty" of the world. In reality, what do we see all around us? People are dying from disease or in tragic shootings; people are starving to death; tsunamis and earthquakes are claiming numerous lives; terrorists are bombing populated areas to kill people. It is only when we start with the history revealed to us in God's Word that we understand that this is a fallen world - not a world of nothing but beauty - because of sin. It is a groaning world because of sin as described in Romans 8:22.”

Pages 48-49 - “This highlights the problem at hand. I like to say it this way: "No matter how much we know, there is an infinite amount more to know. And that means that no matter how much we know, we do not know how much more there is to know! Which means that no matter how much we know, we do not know how much we do know or do not know in relation to whatever there is to know, whatever that is, which means we just do not know much at all, do we?"

Pages 76-77 - “When people accept at face value what Genesis is teaching, they will have no problem accepting and making sense of the rest of the Bible.
Martin Luther once said:
‘I have often said that whoever would study Holy Scripture should be sure to see to it that he stays with the simple words as long as he can and by no means departs from them unless an article of faith compels him to understand them differently. For of this we must be certain: no clearer speech has been heard on Earth than what God has spoken.’”

Page 82 - “The word yôm occurs in Scripture 2,304 times.
In Genesis 1:5, yôm occurs in context with the word night. Outside of Genesis 1, night is used with yôm 52 times, and each time it means an ordinary day. Why would Genesis 1 be the exception?
Even the usage of the word light with yôm in this passage determines the meaning as an ordinary day.”

Page 105 - “Verse 2 uses a Hebrew grammatical device called a "waw-disjunctive.
This is where a sentence begins with the Hebrew word for "and" followed by a noun such as the "earth". A waw-disjunctive indicates that the sentence is describing the previous one - it does not follow in time. In other words, verse 2 is describing the conditions of the earth when it was first created -
"without form and void." Hebrew grammar
does not allow for the insertion of vast periods of time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.”

Page 111 - “Not long ago, I spoke in a conference in Nashville. Afterward, someone said, "My pastor is teaching me the gap theory, and he uses Genesis 1:28 where it says to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth, which means refill the earth." I replied,
"Your pastor needs to teach you correctly. If you
go back and look at the Hebrew word that's translated 'replenish' in the King James, you'll find in other translations they don't use the word replenish. There's a reason for that. The Hebrew word translated 'replenish’ means fill or fill up, or fulfill. It doesn't mean refill."
Stacia McKeever, one of our staff members at Answers in Genesis, wrote an article on the translation of the word replenish, available on our website.
She explains what the word really means:
The word replenish in the King James Version was used in the seventeenth century (when the King James Version was translated) to simply mean "fill." It expressed such ideas as to stock, fill, supply, or inhabit. Replenish is related to the word replete; being replete with happiness is being full with happiness.”

Pages 141-142 - “Another prominent church leader, Tim Keller, pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, made a blatantly offensive statement about those who read Genesis 1 and 2 as historical narrative:
You actually have this choice before you. You can either believe that Genesis 1 and 2 contradict each other, and that we can't trust the Bible. That somebody wrote Genesis 2 and somebody wrote Genesis 1, and some idiotic editor slapped them together. And they totally contradict each other, and that's the way the Bible is - it's just this compendium, right? Or you can believe that Genesis 2 is historical reportage, and Genesis 1 is a poem.”

Page 152 - “What's more, a global Flood would show that God does not break His promises. Not only did God promise to save Noah and his family from the coming judgment of the Flood, He also promised never to flood the world again. There are still local floods, of course, but there has never been anything on the scale of the global Flood since Noah's day. The Bible teaches us in 2 Peter 3 that there will be another global judgment - but by fire next time.”

Page 159 - “It is obvious that if there was a global Flood; this catastrophic event would have eroded billions of tons of sediments and then would have deposited them all over the world.Is And that is exactly what we find.
Dr. Andrew Snelling (PhD in geology from Sydney University, Australia - currently Director of Research at Answers in Genesis) has outlined six geological evidences for a global Flood: 1. fossils of sea creatures high above sea level due to the ocean waters having flooded over the continents;
2. rapid burial of plants and animals; 3. rapidly deposited sediment layers spread across vast areas; 4. sediment transported long distances; 5. rapid or no erosion between strata; and 6. many strata laid down in rapid succession. These evidences all make sense when examined through the biblical worldview.”

Page 160 - “To summarize, those who continue to hold to a local flood have questions left to answer. For instance, if the Flood was local, why did Noah have to build an Ark? He could have walked to the other side of the mountains and missed it. If the Flood was local, why did God send the animals to the Ark so they could escape death? There would have been other animals to reproduce that kind if these particular ones had died. If the Flood was local, why was the Ark big enough to hold all the different kinds of vertebrate land animals? If only Mesopotamian animals were aboard, the Ark could have been much smaller. If the Flood was local, why would birds have been sent on board? These could simply have winged across to a nearby mountain range. If the Flood was local, how could the waters rise to fifteen cubits (eight meters) above the mountains (Genesis 7:20)? Water seeks its own level. It could not rise to cover the local mountains while leaving the rest of the world untouched. If the Flood was local, people who did not happen to be living in the vicinity would not be affected by it. They would have escaped God's judgment on sin. If this had happened, what did Christ mean when He likened the coming judgment of all men to the judgment of "all" men in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39)? A partial judgment in Noah's day means a partial judgment to come. If the Flood was local, God would have repeatedly broken His promise never to send such a flood again.”

Page 222 - “Hermeneutics (from the Greek word hermeneus, which means to explain or interpret) is the branch of theology that focuses on identifying and applying sound principles of biblical interpretation.”

Page 229 - “The principle of the clarity of Scripture does not mean that every passage is easily understood or that one does not need to diligently study the Word ofGod, but it does teach that the overall message of the Word of God can be understood by all believers who carefully and prayerfully study it. The principle also means that we should not assume or look for hidden meanings but rather assess the most straightforward meaning. Two of Christ's favorite sayings were "It is written" and "Have you not read?" Then He would quote a verse from the Old Testament. By these sayings, He indicated that the Scriptures are generally clear.”

Page 231 provides a nice chart of the types of literature that each book of the Bible is classified as.

Page 236 - “First, although many commentators have broken Genesis into two sections (1-11 and 12-50), such a distinction cannot be found in the text.
Some have even argued that the first 11 chapters represent primeval history and should be interpreted differently than the final 39 chapters. There are several problems with this approach. Genesis 12 would make little sense without the genealogical background provided in the previous chapter. Fur-ther, since chapter 11 includes the genealogy of Shem (which introduces us to Abraham), this links it to the genealogy in Genesis 10, which is tied to the one found in Genesis 5.
Second, Todd Beall explained another link between chapters 11 and 12, which demonstrates one should not arbitrarily insert a break in the text at this point. He wrote, "Genesis 12 begins with a waw consecutive verb, wayomer (and he said), indicating that what follows is a continuation of chapter 11, not a major break in the narrative." Also, chapter 11 ends with mention of Abraham, and chapter 12 begins with Abraham.
Third, Genesis seems to be structured on the recurrence of the Hebrew phrase eleh toledoth ("This is the book of the genealogy of .." or "This is the history of. ). This occurs 11 times throughout the book: 6 times in Genesis 1-11 and 5 times in chapters 12-50. Clearly, the author intended that both sections should be interpreted in the same way - as historical narrative.”

Page 240 - “With these two acts of God - breathing out His Word and carrying the writers along by the Spirit - we can come to a definition of inspiration:
The Holy Spirit moved men to write. He allowed them to use their own styles, cultures, gifts, and character. He allowed them to use the results of their own study and research, write of their own experiences, and express what was in their minds. At the same time, the Holy Spirit did not allow error to influence their writings. He overruled in the expression of thought and in the choice of words.
Thus, they recorded accurately all God wanted them to say and exactly how He wanted them to say it in their own character, styles, and languages.
The inspiration of Scripture is a harmony of the active mind of the writer and the sovereign direction of the Holy Spirit to produce God's inerrant and infallible Word for the human race.”

Page 245 - “The belief the Bible is without error is not new. Clement of Rome in the first century wrote,
"Look carefully into the Scriptures, which are the true
utterances of the Holy Spirit. Observe that nothing of an unjust or counterfeit character is written in them." A century later, Ireneus concluded,
"The Scriptures are indeed perfect, since they were spoken by the Word of God and his Spirit."
This was the view of the early Church leaders, and it has been the consistent view of evangelicals from the ancient Vaudois people of the Piedmont Valley to the 16th-century Protestant Reformers across Europe and up to the present day. Not all used the terms "infallibility" or "inerrancy," but many expressed the concepts, and there is no doubt they believed it. It is liberalism that has taken a new approach. Professor Kirsopp Lake at Harvard University admitted,
"It is we [the liberals] who have departed from the tradition.”

Ken Ham wants us to believe that the Earth was created in six days. Exactly how long is a day? Here is a definition he likes.

"the basic meaning of yôm is 'day (from sunrise to sundown)' p.84 Kindle

Here is a problem. The sun, moon and stars weren’t created until the fourth day. How did the sun rise and set in the first three days if it hadn’t been created yet? Ham doesn’t address this in his book, but he does say,

“The big-bang idea claims the sun came before the earth, and the earth began as a molten, fiery rock. But Genesis 1 clearly describes that the earth was created before the sun, and it was covered with liquid water (Genesis 1:2–9, 16):”
P. 145

He also says,

“Starting with God's Word in Genesis, we can show them answers to the skeptical questions that have caused them to doubt.” p.219

So I went to his website to find the answer.

“So the light in Genesis 1:3–5 is light as the Scripture says—everyone agrees on that, but what was the source? As shown above, there are many different thoughts on this subject. But ultimately, we are simply not told. Throughout history people have speculated and continue to do so, but always test these proposals against the Scriptures.

Not having a sun before day 4 of creation is not a problem for biblical creationists. The temporary light source—whatever it was—by God’s design and purpose served to function as light and heat for the earth for three days.”
answersingenesis.org/days-of-creation...

After promising to answer questions using “plain words” p.234, of scripture, he says he doesn’t know and it doesn’t matter. It seems that would drive more people away from Christ than he would attract with those kinds of answers.

Mat 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Ken Ham needed an editor for this book. I almost went through with a highlighter to copy all of the repetition. Ken Ham is a teacher and I get that repetition is important but this book was a little much. I do love his content though! It is a great eye opening read of why many people are leaving the church. Many people think you can't be an intellectual and a Christian. I am thankful that Ken Ham exists and that he encourages people to see that there are always starting points. Either you are for God or you are against Him. You believe God's Word or you are a heretic.

This book reminds me of a cartoon I saw years ago. It was a drawing of a brick wall with graffiti written on it. One said, "God is dead - Nietzsche" the one below it said, "Nietzsche is dead - God". So who has the last word? We people say they don't believe in God they believe in science. My reply is God invented science. ( He did not invent the THEORY of evolution. ) This is a long book and not always written in a way that's easy to read. I respect Ken Ham's work and agree completely with him. I had NO IDEA all the theories were out there. I was shocked by the so-called experts' opinions. So many Bible quotes come to mind. "For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?" 1 Corinthians 14:8 or "What concord hath Christ with Belial...." 2 Corinthians 6:15 or "We have not followed cunningly devised fables...." 2 Peter 1:16. Although the last quote refers to Jesus, I think we can apply it throughout the Bible. I also think all these different Bible versions cause a lot of confusion which may lead people to more confusion. Mr. Ham appears to respect those of different views but we need a strong foundation of truth. When I first gave my life to God fifty years ago, the Bible came alive to me. When I asked God to show me the truth and asked him how to deal with all these divergent ideas, He gave me this idea: Act like you have been dropped on a desert island with a Bible and follow me. In spite of trials and tribulations and times of discouragement, this has keep me faithful all these years. I have been subjected to ridicule, incredulous stares and treated like I'm somewhere between imbecility and mental illness when I say I don't believe in evolution, but what does God think of me? While the writing is a bit hard to follow the theme is great.

3.5 stars

"This book is about the decline of the Church's view of Genesis 1-11, which has led to a catastrophic decline in believing in the absolute authority of the Word of God in the Church." p 120

The first half was quite good. Ham explains why incorrect interpretations of Genesis lead to a compromise of all Scripture, including the gospel and argues the Bible is to be the "starting point" for all our beliefs.

If God is good, Genesis has to be literal.

If you accept millions of years, then you have to say, "Isn't God good? He calls death, suffering, and disease very good." That is because…the idea of millions of years comes from the belief that most of the fossil layers (containing dead creatures with evidence of diseases) were laid down millions of years before man. p 31

I appreciated the distinction made between observational and historical science. Science and Christianity are not at odds!

I was surprised to see that some theologians whom I otherwise respect, such as Tim Keller, hold to compromised views of Genesis.

Unfortunately, the book is quite repetitive, especially in the second half. A good thirty percent could have been eliminated with better editing.

I think his arguments are worth reading, but try to have patience with his repetitious writing!

If the Scripture is unreliable, can we offer the world a reliable gospel? How can we be sure of truth on any issue if we are suspicious of errors anywhere in the Bible? A pilot will ground his aircraft even on suspicion of the most minor fault, because he is aware that one fault destroys confidence in the complete machine. If the history contained in the Bible is wrong, how can we be sure the doctrine or moral teaching is correct? p 245

Book review: a good book on Creation and the opposite views that conservative Christian’s face from the other side. This is not a light read but it is very in-depth and informative. If you have ever wanted to know how to defend the 6 days of creation and understand why this is important this book would be a help. I did find it at times long as the book must defend truth against dozens of false views. But the flip side of this is that the book is very detailed in its responses to these false theories of the Bible. I rate the book 4out of 5stars

[Edy Gies · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a good read, but I'm only giving it three stars because it was frustrating at times. I agreed with and understood the information the author was presenting, but tired with his style of writing. He circled back a lot and repeated his arguments. He does make the excellent point that without Creation the Gospel becomes unnecessary because death didn't come from sin. I have a few more books by Ham but I hope they writing is a little easier to read.

Book has some really interesting and key principles. Learnt some good apologetics techniques and approaches . However it is extremely repetitive and instead off the 200 odd pages you get the feeling all the same points could have been made in 100 pages and had even more impact. Additionally it has a lot of propaganda- look what I said , look what I did or what I have written (however kind of get this is Ken Ham’s style and how much of Answers in Genesis is run)

About the Book:

Discover how many evangelical leaders, willingly or unwittingly, are undermining the authority of God's Word by compromising the Bible in Genesis Learn how allowing for an old/universe of billions of years unlocks a door of compromise

Heed the wake-up call to the Church to return to the authority of God's Word, beginning in Genesis.

Today, most Bible colleges, seminaries, K-12 Christian schools, and now even parts of the homeschool movement do not accept the first eleven chapters of Genesis as literal history. They try to fit the supposed billions of years into Genesis, and some teach evolution as fact. Our churches are largely following suit.

Ken Ham, international speaker and author on biblical authority, examines how compromise starting in Genesis, particularly in regard to the six days of creation and the earth's age, have filtered down from the Bible colleges and seminaries to pastors and finally to parents and their children.

About the Author:

Ken Ham is the president/CEO and founder of Answers in Genesis - U.S. and the highly acclaimed Creation Museum. Ken Ham is one of the most in-demand Christian speakers in North America. Ken’s emphasis is on the relevance and authority of the book of Genesis and how compromise on Genesis has opened a dangerous door regarding how the culture and church view biblical authority. His Australian accent, keen sense of humor, captivating stories, and exceptional PowerPoint illustrations have made him one of North America’s most effective Christian communicators.

My Review:

Ken /Ham, owner and creator of AiG-- Answers in Genesis has created the perfect commentary on instructing us on the importance of instilling the actually teaching of the Bible in our children. You say-well I do that all the time by teaching them with all the "Bible stories" of the Bible such as Jonah and the whale, Adam&Eve, etc.

Ken says that many of us were taught "Bible stories" coming up in our households but many of them sound far fetched and really unbelievable not literal, in which they are meant. But to say this is to say we really don't believe them, really and we don't believe God's word. And in doing this we are leading our children to eventually or quite possibly to leave the church when they are older or even worse doubt God. It places a doubt there that maybe everything else stated in the Bible holds no truth as well.

The author states that teaching our children apologetics--an answer or reasoned defense--is a determent to their very souls. He also states that they church has fallen short on this as of late and this needs to be addressed in the home as well as in our churches. We expect these so called "Bible stories" to speak for themselves when in actuality we should teach our children that the Bible should be taken as the literal word of God, not symbolism.

I myself as an older child an even as an adult have had trouble believing some parts of the Bible. We are so ready to believe that the murderous act of Cain when he killed his brother Abel but not that a big fish swallowed a man only to spit him out later on.

This book really hit home for me so I'm really going to find resources to help teach my children a little better than I have been teaching.I really never realized that I could possibly be doing this very thing. We owe it to ourselves, our children, and mainly to out Lord to consider that maybe we are helping in this breakdown of communication. The author has also tried to clear a fewof this so called misconceptions that we may have later on in the book.

Once again Ken Ham has taken the scientific and church world by storm in his new book Six Days which details why the church is declining because of the absence of it’s belief in Genesis 1 through 11 being a literal, historical science text. I’ve read other books like The Lie, which was a bit more technical than this one and I appreciated the lay man’s approach in this book because sometimes as a busy mom I need something simple and straight forward. While at first I was worried I may be reading some of the same material given in the other books I was pleasantly surprised that there was new information and also the same information given in a way that this book could also be read by a 13 year old and understand it.



As a Christian sometimes it’s hard to know how to answers some of the questions that come from those who don’t believe in a young earth, or that Genesis is a literal historical text or even that God exists – to them saying “the Bible says so” doesn’t work as a valid argument. If you believe, as I do that Jesus came to earth, born of a virgin, died on a cross and rose again then one must have a foundation for that belief and even if Christ, Himself pointed back to Creation as outlined in Genesis shouldn’t we also look to Genesis in it’s literal sense to understand how the world was formed without the use of evolution or a big bang? Ken Ham does an excellent job in explaining each of the theories that are becoming popular in the church today such as the day age theory, gap theory as well as how this break down of compromise is slowly killing the church.



If you’re not sure how to answers questions from skeptics or how to refute a fellow Christian’s belief in an old earth or that God used evolution to create the world then this book is for you. If you’re a Christian (Ken Ham reitereates that he is not saying this is a salvation issue, which so often is said of him) and believe in an old earth or that God somehow used evolution (keep in mind that means sin and death were in the world BEFORE Adam and Eve) to create the world this book may just have you re-thinking what you believe about Creation. This book is also for those skeptics who may no longer believe or never have believed in the Lord and it may just point you back to His Light and His Salvation and of course there will be those who use this book to make all Creationist into some kind of kooks, but that’s okay because the Truth can’t be destroyed.

I have to say this book has surprised me. I expected it to be full of information that I already know. I was wrong. Ham (as usual) has done an excellent job of researching and compounding a large quantity of information. He brings together the proof and science of God's creation of the Earth in 6 days. In doing so he also brings to light the movement of some preachers and churches that are trying to change the Bible to align with Big Bang science and/ or the age of the Earth being millions of years old. I've personally heard preachers say things like, "We don't know that each of those first 6 days were thousands or millions of years long." Honestly I didn't give it much thought. That's how our minds our infiltrated and indoctrinated into ideas that aren't Biblical. Here he gives us the facts and reasoning behind belief in a literal 6 days. In his typical fashion he presents his information clearly using pictures and other visual effects when needed.

Ham also spends a good deal of time explaining why we need to make sure our children understand our belief and our reasoning behind those beliefs. He's right when he says that in general churches spend too much time teaching Bible stories and not enough time teaching apologetics. However I am one that is a strong believer in parents taking the time to teach their children Biblical truths and then attending a church that supports those teachings, not expecting the church to do all the teaching. In this busy world it is important that we take time to show our children our beliefs every day, not just on Sunday. It is no wonder that so many that are raised in Christian homes grow up to abandon those Christian beliefs because they were only modeled on Sunday mornings.

So from this book let's take away a strong belief in the Bible. The whole Bible. Including those first 6 days. Let's also take away the importance of talking with our children about our beliefs and how to defend them. And let's look forward to this debate and pray that God uses it as a time to strengthen believers, open the eyes and ears of the unbelievers, and spread His message.

Ken Ham takes a strong stance on the literal 24-hour 6-day creation week which tends to rub some people the wrong way. He believes (as most people do) that his belief system is correct, so he goes on to defend it using the Bible. He then shows how not believing in the literal 6-day, 24-hour creation week can weaken some peoples faith. If you understand this, you’ll be prepared for the type of book you’ll be reading when you pick up Six Days: The Age of the Earth and the Decline of the Church.

In Six Days, Ken Ham begins with going over the importance of believing in a literal interpretation of Genesis and why having this foundation is important for all aspects of the Christian walk including salvation. (Without sin entering the world, there would be no need for a Savior.) He also talks about how evolution – man’s worldview – has permeated every area of our society – including the church.

He then goes on to define science and talk about the difference between observational and historical science. He explains how historical science is not based upon observations but rather faith in either the Biblical worldview or man’s worldview. Continue reading....

Summary
"Six Days, The Age of the Earth and the Decline of the Church" by Ken Ham is a book on how specifically the American church's foundation is being crumbled away because of how people treat the book of Genesis. It goes into detail on how we treat the book of Genesis specifically how we treat creation reflects on what is happening to the modern church. And that does not believing in the 6 day creation cause a door of compromise into the church.

My opinion
I started this book before the Ken Ham/Bill Nye the Science Guy debate and then finished afterward and I am glad I finished it afterward. It was a powerful book really making me think of more on how the Bible is treated. It answers the questions that most Christians ask about the six day creation for example why can't we believe that God used macro evolution to do creation. This book really challenged me to look deep into the creation argument and want to look more into it. I am not a person to give away too much of a book even a non-fiction book as I want you the reader to dig into the book. And this book is a very good book to get digging into. I highly recommend it.
