**Background**: I remember watching most of the Ken Ham vs Bill Nye debate back around 2013-2015. I found the whole thing pointless. My thought was like 'If the guy says (my interpretation of the) Bible implies no evolution, then why are we getting some guy to attack the assumption (the Bible) when we have overwhelmingly available people to accept the assumption (the Bible) and then attack the conclusion (of young Earth, of creationism, etc)?' I kinda thought the whole debate should be about interpretations of the Bible rather than debating with the wind or a brick wall. **Question**: So for actual positions of denominations of **the overwhelming majority of Christianity ** (and not to mention the entire scientific community; so they got BOTH science and religion working against them) including mainstream Christianity like say Catholicism, Orthodox, Protestant, etc, what does Ken Ham or in general what do those young earth/universe creationists say about how (the overwhelming majority of) their fellow Christians interpret Genesis, which is NOT literally/historically? Like I imagine a conversation would go... YEC: The creation story is literal/historical. Overwhelming majority of Christians including mainstream Christians: No, it's actually figurative. Genesis gets literal/historical starting Abram. YEC: No, actually Genesis is literal/historical even before Abram, because ________ (?) _____

Here's a debate between Hugh Ross of "Reasons to Believe" and Ken Ham. These men are popular spokesmen for each of Old Earth and Young Earth Creationism, respectively. In the hour-long discussion, Ken repeatedly shuts down any use of passages other than Genesis to get information about the details of creation. For example, he didn't want to talk about how Job (9:8) or Psalms (104:2) speak of God "stretching the heavens" Setting aside the whole YEC/OEC debate for the moment, is there a biblical reason to limit creation-detail information to the book of Genesis?

Ken Ham has said "I take Genesis as literal history, as Jesus did." I've also seen this stated other places, but haven't seen anything that Jesus said which backs up this train of thought. What is the Biblical support for stating that Jesus took the creation account in Genesis as literal history and not figuratively?
