He proudly claims that he saved a life. His account:
A few minutes later, as the service was starting, Pastor Davis collapsed in cardiac arrest. Two nurses in the congregation came to his aid, started CPR, and utilized an AED device before the ambulance arrived. Praise the Lord, they were able to restore his heartbeat, and he survived. His wife later shared with me that had Pastor Davis not come to see me speak at the church that morning, he probably would not have survived because it would have happened at home with no help!
He did nothing but watch, as other people saved him. The only being who had less to do with it was God, since what really saved him was two nurses, CPR, and an AED.
God is so useless that he isn’t even present at home — he would have died if he’d had to rely on the God who was absent in his house.
Ken Ham still claims credit, though.
Ken Ham: “My work here is done.”
Barney Gumball: “What? But you didn’t do anything!”
This reminds me of all those people who are rescued, with a lot of dangerous effort, from their rooftops or burning house by emergency crews, yet when interviewed they always say, ‘jebus saved me!’
I’m inclined to think that the word ‘hubris’ isn’t powerful enough to describe Ham’s declaration in this case.
Ham claims a lot of stuff. I wouldn’t believe him. 🤥
Didn’t even give the names of the nurses.
Reminds me of Deacon Duncan’s classic, “How God Shows Up in Real Life” (or was it “…in the Real World?)… which sadly I can’t find anywhere now (either way).
If he hadn’t had to suffer through listening to Ham he might not have had a heart attack.
Admittedly, I get headaches every time he spews out one horrible lie after another. He’s a dumb Idiot who makes his lies sound so convincing that it’s highly tempting to believe all of them and agree with everything he says, even though they are all proven bull-faced, thoroughly debunked, yet oft-repeated stupid lies that Dumb Idiot Ham is way too stupid to abandon, just like Stupid Idiot Dump.
If Pastor Davis had stayed home, not gone to see Ham, he would have been OK.
Ham tried to kill him.

I’ve read his articles before. In them, he address the people in the article as their first full name followed by the last name abbreviated with a just a single letter with a period at the end. Which makes me wonder if the people Dumb Idiot Ham mentions in his phony articles are entirely people Dumb Idiot Ham made up out of the blue.
Praise be for nurses! They just don’t get enough of that.
#2 Shermanj,
Not everyone, actually:
Speaking as a nurse, we’re quite used to all manner of invisible spirits and supernatural entities getting all of the credit for our efforts. It pretty much goes with the job. To counter that, I’ve been secretly pretending my name is Lord so it sounds like people are genuinely thanking me. It doesn’t matter if it’s shouted with tearful enthusiasm or quiet mumblings, Nurse Lord is honored to accept all forms of gratitude.
I think they must be assuming that Davis would have had his heart attack at that specific time regardless of circumstances, because that was the time that God had allotted for him. In reality, though, it would have been the circumstances that triggered the incident: perhaps the stress of driving to church and dealing with idiots on the road might have been the trigger. If Davis had instead stayed at home he might merely have experienced a period of palpitations, causing him to pick up the phone and make an appointment with his cardiologist for the next day. In that instance he might have received better preventative care to help head off the next event rather than undergoing a traumatic experience that even though he survived will at best likely have knocked a year or two off his life.
You can always trust Ken Ham to approach things arsebackwards.
