Creationist Ken Ham Blasts Robert Jeffress for Anti-Young Earth Remarks

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter

Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church of Dallas has come under fire by creationist Ken Ham, after the Texas preacher suggested that the universe might indeed be 13.7 billion years old, as modern science claims.

"It is so distressing that so many of our Christian leaders don't seem to understand that to accept man's fallible beliefs of billions of years, Big Bang etc, they are really undermining the authority of God's Word," Ham, president/CEO and founder of Answers in Genesis–U.S. and the Creation Museum, wrote on his Facebook page on Thursday.

"To send a signal to coming generations that one can accept such false ideas like the Big Bang and billions of years they are taught at public school and secular colleges (and many compromising Christian Colleges) is a major factor why so many of the coming generations begin to doubt the authority of the Word of God," the creationist added.

What Would You Ask TBN's Paul and Jan Crouch?

Paul and Jan Crouch

What would you ask Paul and Jan Crouch if you were able to interview them? I have that privilege on Friday.

Over the last four decades, I’ve interviewed people from every walk of life, including President George W. Bush and Oral Roberts. I’ve been on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) show numerous times, and they have interviewed me.

But on Friday, I have the opportunity for a significant first: After years of working in the same market as Paul and Jan, founders of TBN, I’ll interview them together. TBN will be celebrating its 40th anniversary this May, and the Crouches have given us an exclusive interview.

I was inspired by the presidential debates last fall when they asked ordinary people to submit questions on YouTube and then asked the candidates those questions. Paul and Jan are among the highest-profiled and most-respected Christian leaders. They have had a profound impact on the body of Christ.
