Ken Ham, president of Answers In
Genesis (AIG), told Point of View radio listeners last week
that allowing gay couples to marry may lead to people not wearing
clothes.
Ham's organization runs the Creation
Museum, located in Petersburg, Kentucky, which promotes a creationist
explanation of the universe based on a literal interpretation of
the Bible.
Museum exhibits dispute the theory that
human life evolved into its current form and shows non-avian
dinosaurs coexisting with humans. AIG is currently building a
replica of Noah's ark.
On the program, Ham told listeners that
the Bible is a “book of history because Christianity is based in
real history.”
“The doctrine of marriage is based
there upon the literal history of Genesis,” Ham
said. “But if that history is not true, if there was no
literal Adam and Even, then what is marriage, why is it to be a man
and a woman? It's only a man and a woman because God invented
marriage. And he invented marriage when he made the first marriage,
Adam and Eve.”
“[T]he origin of clothing is right
there in Genesis,” he added. “If you abandon Genesis' literal
history of marriage and say marriage can be two men or two women or
whatever you want, well why not abandon clothing?”
