Abstract
Todd Friel, host of Wretched TV and Radio, interviews Ken Ham on the 25th Anniversary of Answers in Genesis. You would be hard-pressed to find a more vilified modern Christian than Ken Ham. The founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis is regularly called names not fit to print simply because he insists the Bible is God's Word and it means what it says. Day after day, nasty critiques flood the ministry, often aimed directly at Ken by name. Why would anyone in his right mind voluntarily enter the Colosseum every day to face the lions? When given this assignment to interview Ken for Answers in Genesis' 25th anniversary, I was determined to find the answer. That is why my first question out of the gate was, "Are you nuts? Why do you do this day after day, knowing that people are going to put things on the internet that would make a pirate blush?" To my surprise, Ken didn't answer with his infamous dry humor. When he is not preaching, Ken Ham is a bit of a jokester. (Apparently this has something to do with being Australian.) But when it comes to discussing what drives him, he becomes deadly earnest. My questions gradually unpeeled the answer.
