Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis, the Kentucky-based group behind the Creation Museum and the Noah’s Ark theme park, is marking Charles Darwin’s birthday today by declaring it “Darwin Was Wrong Day” and asking his fellow Creationists to pray for people who believe in evolution.

According to Ham, people who have taken part in mocking “Darwin Was Wrong Day” prove that Creationism was right all along, as such critics “are suppressing that truth in unrighteousness.”

We have already received many positive responses with people sharing the news with others, and as we suspected, we also got a lot of response from secularists. Shortly after we announced Darwin Was Wrong Day, the Internet exploded with responses both positive and negative alike. The secularists particularly took to Twitter—we obviously hit a nerve. But why are they fighting so hard against a God that they don’t even believe exists? Well, because they really do know that God exists, but they are suppressing that truth in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18–19). We are thankful for the publicity! Even if they are mocking us, they are helping to spread the message that there are people who are speaking against this religion of naturalism and proclaim the truth of God’s Word. God can certainly take what they intended for harm and use it for good—to help others to realize the truth of God’s Word from the very beginning. … Instead of replying to these massive scientific problems with evolution, secularists do what they usually do—mock us. And if they do respond, they bring up the same old arguments such as speciation supposedly supports molecules-to-man evolution. However, creation scientists have refuted this claim many times (and there are several articles dealing with this on AnswersInGenesis.org) as they explain the real observational science of genetics.

Ham also railed against gay rights, which he blamed on growing skepticism of Creationism.

He was especially peeved by ad campaigns from companies like Hallmark and Nikon featuring same-sex couples, saying that such advertisements “are a sign of the times we live in—times of disobedience to, and a rejection of, God’s Word.”
