Not that anyone would be personally at risk but it appears to me after reading his commentaries that he frequently describes those who don't share his religious conviction as necessarily actively opposed. Also noticed that he regularly labels "anti theist secularists " as displaying the same methods as I'm sure he is regularly accused of. Examples like evolution theory shouldn't be called a theory, it's a presupposition. Teaching evolution is indoctrination. Evolution publications are propaganda. Scientists are intolerant.
Is Ken Ham's perspective on science world view and intolerance a threat to creationists survival?

The Bible is not a science textbook, but is it accurate when it mentions matters of science? That is a question I had to ask myself, because I base most everything I believe on logic, proof, and the reality of it.
Through research over the past four decades, I have found the Bible contains scientific facts that differed greatly from the beliefs of many people living at the time it was written.
The universe is governed day-to-day by rational natural laws, not by the whims of deities. (Job 38:33; Jeremiah 33:25) Myths from around the world teach that humans are helpless before the unpredictable and sometimes merciless acts of the gods.
The earth is suspended in empty space. (Job 26:7) Many ancient peoples believed that the world was a flat disk supported by a giant or an animal, such as a buffalo or a turtle.
Although there are many myths associated with the misconceptions about the scientific accuracy of the Bible, a reasonable examination of the Bible gives proof of it's accuracy when it mentions matters of science.
Examples:
Myth: The Bible says that the universe was created in six 24-hour days.
Fact: According to the Bible, God created the universe in the indefinite past. (Genesis 1:1) Also, the days of creation described in chapter 1 of Genesis were epochs whose length is not specified. In fact, the entire period during which earth and heaven were made is also called a “day.”—Genesis 2:4.
Myth: The Bible says that vegetation was created before the sun existed to support photosynthesis.—Genesis 1:11, 16.
Fact: The Bible shows that the sun, one of the stars that make up “the heavens,” was created before vegetation. (Genesis 1:1) Diffused light from the sun reached the earth’s surface during the first “day,” or epoch, of creation.
True science and the Bible are compatible.
