Creationists Angry About Carnival Cruise Super Bowl Ad
Poor Ken Hamm was all for the sea until the state funding for his Ark Park went away…
The Carnival Corporation released a Super Bowl ad featuring a speech by President John F. Kennedy voicing over images of the sea, igniting an evolution debate when creationists criticized the commercial.
“I really don’t know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it’s because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it’s because we all came from the sea,” said Kennedy in the 1962 speech. “And 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.”
Creationist leader Ken Ham was furious with the ad, expressing his rage on a his Around the World blog. He accused Carnival of “blatantly” using evolution in its advertising and noted how upset he was that our culture is abandoning “the truth of God’s word.”
