    Going from the images of Hubble to JWST is like when you upgrade your video card in your computer for the newest video game, and you're able to change the settings from medium to ultra max.

    Science denier Kenneth Hamm is not surprisingly saying the images can't possibly look back in time, because his interpretation of his bible says otherwise.

    No clue who Kenneth Hamm is, but if we can't look back in time, every story in his precious bible is also bunk because it paint a picture from back in time with words, no?

    He says we can only get history and cosmology from his bible.
    He is a well known advocate of teaching bible in science class. Runs a "college" and a "museum" that are fact free. Works with politicians to get schools to not teach biology.

    I believe his point is that we can't know anything unless man was there to observe it.

    Here are some clips of him debating with Bill Nye


    Here is the whole debate

    Solipsistic arguments are always the laziest. It's an updated take on the old "if a tree falls in the woods...." trope.
