The way to go with this is Intelligent Design.

It is fully confirmed by both the Bible and by scientific principles.

Suggested reading: “I Don’t Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist”, by Dr. Norman Geisler.

Ken Ham, IMHO, does Christianity a huge disservice by very, very poorly presenting the Christian case. We have to do better than simply saying “the Bible says it, and that settles it”. That convinces NO ONE, and simply serves to harden their hearts.

On the other hand, Intelligent Design destroys the evolutionists and the non-believers. It basically leaves them with no leg to stand on, scientifically or morally, other than admitting that they don’t want God to exist, and that they don’t want the accountability to God who inevitably and irrefutably exists.

I used to try to thread that needle myself - kind of a theistic evolutionist,

until Ham himself showed me the theological problems inherent in that belief.

Too late. I witnessed the Freeper community abandon intelligent design after the fallout from the first Ham/Nye debate, in favor of literal Biblical creationism.

I think this is partially because a lot of people don't understand that Intelligent Design in incompatible with 6,000 Year Old Young Earth Creationism, and that the Discovery Institute and other centers of Intelligent Design are embarrassed by Ham.
