Eggs, Alzheimer's, and the Age of the Earth — Ken Ham's Confusion About Science

Ken Ham recently used a new study on eggs and Alzheimer's risk to argue that science is too unreliable to trust — but this argument does real damage to thoughtful Christians. I walk through why the egg/nutrition example actually backfires as a critique of science, explain the category error at the heart of Ham's reasoning, and show why the willingness to revise conclusions is a feature of good science rather than a flaw. I also address the pastoral harm this argument causes when young people in the church are handed a false choice between faith and evidence — and why the Christian theological tradition itself has far more room for scientific revision than Ham's post implies.
