Kenneth Alfred Ham (born 20 October 1951) is an Australian Christian fundamentalist, young Earth creationist, apologist and former science teacher, living in the United States. He is a founder, CEO, and former president of Answers in Genesis (AiG), a Christian apologetics organisation that operates the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter.

Ham advocates biblical literalism, claiming the creation narrative in the Book of Genesis is historical fact and that the universe and Earth were created together approximately 6,000 years ago, contrary to scientific consensus that indicates that the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old and the universe about 13.8 billion years old.
