This last statement is incorrect. Most scientists believe that the events of
the past which they study were things that really happened.
In fact though Ham does not take the apparent age route. He simply argues -
with a good deal fo ridicule and rhetoric - that the putative evidence for the age of
the earth & evolution is wrong. He is neither a scientist nor a theologian but a
polemicist.
Shalom,
