"Creation Museum CEO and President Kem Ham has spoken out against a few of the features at
Super Bowl XLIX, including the half time performance by pop singer Katy Perry. Ham ...in a separate statement criticized a Carnival Cruise ad for supporting evolution.
Perry performed a number of songs at the Super Bowl, held on Sunday at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona and won by the New England Patriots, including her 2008 hit "I Kissed a Girl."
Ham also criticized Carnival Corporation, the largest cruise line in the world. The company featured a 60-second spot promoting its cruise line that makes use of a speech given by former President John F. Kennedy to establish the connection between people and the sea.
Part of Kennedy's speech, delivered in 1962 at Newport, Rhode Island, reads: "It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came."
Ham, who advocates for a literal interpretation of Genesis and the Creation story in the Bible, wrote:
"Don't you just feel this 'personal connection?' After all, your ancestor came out of the sea and evolved by natural processes to produce you. Don't you feel the connection? Don't you just want to go on one of their cruises so you can stand on the deck of a big cruise ship, look at the sea, and contemplate your accidental beginnings — and perhaps worship the sea, because it gave birth to you!"
He added that this kind of "worship" of the stars and the sea is the "increasing state of our culture as it abandons the truth of God's Word."
