Pat Robertson Blasts Ken Ham's Young Earth Beliefs: "Let's Not Make a Joke of Ourselves."

Pat Robertson Blasts Ken Ham's Young Earth Beliefs: "Let's Not Make a Joke of Ourselves." - christiannews.net

Excerpt from this article:

"[Robertson said] "So, let’s be real, and let’s not make a joke of ourselves. I don’t believe in so-called evolution as it is currently presented as non-theistic. I believe that God started it all and He’s in charge of it. But the fact that you have the progressive evolution under His control, that doesn’t hurt my faith at all. But this thing [with young earth teachings], we just can’t be playing this.'  But when Ken Ham learned of Robertson’s comments, he posted his own thoughts on Facebook, stating that he found it sad that Robertson was leading his viewers to believe man’s lies over God’s word."

Here is an excerpt from another article, titled: Pat Robertson Repudiates the Gospel:

"This week on his television show Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson said a man would be morally justified to divorce his wife with Alzheimer's disease in order to marry another woman. The dementia-riddled wife is, Robertson said, "not there" anymore. This is more than an embarrassment. This is more than cruelty. This is a repudiation of the gospel of Jesus Christ....Pat Robertson's cruel marriage statement is no anomaly. He and his cohorts have given us for years a prosperity gospel with more in common with an Asherah pole than a cross. They have given us a politicized Christianity that uses churches to "mobilize" voters rather than to stand prophetically outside the power structures as a witness for the gospel."
