Maybe it's just my sense of humor, but where in the Bible does it mention Lasers? Little kennie ham is hawking his latest attraction to bring in contributors. "Ark Encounter Introduces Christmas Light Show":
"Christians and non-Christians alike will enjoy this technologically cutting-edge program,” said Ken Ham, president and CEO of Answers in Genesis, the ministry which created Ark Encounter."
Yes, technology and cutting-edge are words you don't associate with kennie's ministries. He, and his Hamians, spend most of his time trying to destroy science and science education. Of course they have no issue with using the technology that was developed by the very science they cannot accept because there isn't a hint of deference to their version of a deity. Anyone else see how hypocritical that is?
I am sure little kennie will find some rationalization as to how lasers aren't anti-religion, but evolution is. But that's all that is, a rationalization. Science does not address issues involving the supernatural, that doesn't make any scientific discipline anti-religious. The problem here isn't science, but kennie.
You see kennie, like most theists, have a list of things they insist one deity or another did. It doesn't matter if the action is written in one of their religious tracts or not. If they claim it, then they defend it, regardless of reality. They will fight tooth and nail to protect their religious beliefs, even though they have nothing concrete to stand on.
Since lasers don't brush up against on of those beliefs, it's OK to use them, but evolution, geology, cosmology all brush up against their creation stories and that scares them. I mean if they have to accept that maybe their deity didn't create everything in 144 hours, then what other parts of their 'holy' books are not real? Just because there is no evidence of it, doesn't stop them from protecting their beliefs, no matter how far they have to stretch their minds to come up with am explanation that allows them to not actually think.
I hate to break the news them . . . actually that's not true, I enjoy saying things like this: "The theories behind lasers were developed using the same scientific methodology that was used in the Theory of Evolution!" I actually enjoy pointing out such hypocrisies. I know hard-core believers won't accept anything I say, but when I see some of the less-hardcore react to some of the things I -- and many others -- have said, I still have hope. Of course my laughter when I get told I am going to burn in Hell really pisses them off!

So, in the meantime enjoy the fact that little kennie uses the very science he denigrates to push his messages of homophobia, divisiveness, fear, and hatred.
