Agreed. Ham (and many other Christians & theists) erroneously asserts that the infinite truth is, in fact, knowable to us finite beings. He compounds this error, by stating this knowledge can be gained by
ignoring our five senses. His is simply the flip side to atheistic claims that the universe is
bound by our five senses (i.e. - if a thing's existence in the universe cannot be discovered by our five senses, it does not exist in the universe. Thus, the universe itself is
not infinite but, rather, is limited to the ever expanding human ability to see, hear, feel, taste or smell the universe).
Ham seems a nice enough person - as does Nye for that matter, but claims to ownership of
any of the universe's "Ultimate Truths" is a sure path to destruction - either your own or that of others.
In the timeless (and contemptuous) words of Pontius Pilot ..."What is truth?"
