Who is Ken Ham?

Kenneth Alfred "Ken" Ham is an Australian-born young Earth creationist and the president of Answers in Genesis, a Creationist apologetics ministry which operates the Creation Museum. He is a former high school science teacher and currently lives in Kentucky, USA.

Ham advocates a literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis. His claim that the universe is 6,000 years old, based on his interpretation of the Bible, is contradicted by evidence from astronomy and from the Earth's fossil and geological records.
