You said your father milked cows and had a milking stool that he used as an illustration for marriage\u2014success in marriage. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Well, my father was actually a teacher; but he lived in areas where they had dairy farms and helped people milk cows. My mother used to milk cows when she was growing up. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn Australia, the milking stool\u2014the little wooden milking stool\u2014had three legs. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>3:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy father loved doing Bible studies and teaching people God\u2019s Word, and he would often be talking about the importance of marriage and the importance of having the Lord as the third partner in marriage\u2014he was teaching on that a lot. He would use a milking stool to do that\u2014he would say: \u201cLook, the milking stool has three legs; and it won\u2019t hold up without those three. It won\u2019t hold up with two; you\u2019ve got to have those three. So, you\u2019ve got to have three partners in marriage\u2014it\u2019s the husband and the wife and the Lord.\u201d I\u2019ve <em>never<\/em> forgotten that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>You know, it\u2019s interesting\u2014how, when your parents teach you certain things\u2014that you never forget them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>You\u2019ve written a new book called <em>A Special Door<\/em>, and it\u2019s a children\u2019s book. What age would you say\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Well, you know, it\u2019s really aimed to kindergarten, preschool, Grade 1\/2\u2014that sort of age. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I think it\u2019ll work for kids in elementary school, because it\u2019s really built around the concept of a door. Behind each door is really a Scripture that talks about the condition of the human heart and how, ultimately, Jesus Christ paid the price for our sin to get us into the door to go to heaven.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Well, you know, the cross is the greatest symbol of the message of salvation; but other than the cross, I always tell people: \u201cI believe Noah\u2019s ark is the greatest symbol of the message of salvation because Noah and his family had to go through a door to be saved.\u201d\u00a0 God instructed them, \u201cPut one door in the side of the ark.\u201d\u00a0 Remember\u2014Jesus said, \u201cI am the door.\u201d\u00a0 God\u2019s Son stepped into history to be Jesus Christ \/ the God Man to be our Savior. He said: \u201cI am the door. By me, if any man enters in, he\u2019ll be saved.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s why, even at our Ark exhibit\u2014the life-sized Noah\u2019s ark\u2014the <em>door<\/em> is one of the <em>favorite<\/em> places for photos inside the ark; because people stand there with their children in front of that door, and there is a cross illuminated on top of the door to <em>remind<\/em> them that they need to go through a door to be saved. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, at the Ark also, we have a massive exhibit that presents the gospel in a very, very clear way\u2014it\u2019s a graphic novel approach. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs part of that exhibit, we present the doors of Scripture. For instance, there is a door to the sheepfold. There\u2019s a door to the tomb\u2014you feel the stone that was rolled away. There\u2019s the door that the Israelites painted the blood on the doorposts. Then, there\u2019s Jesus Christ, who said, \u201cI am the door.\u201d\u00a0 Then, there\u2019s the door to the ark and the door to, even, the Temple. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean, you can look at all of these, and you see pictures in regard to Christ. So, we do that, actually, at one of the exhibits at the Ark. I do this in this children\u2019s book too\u2014just to take children through various doors. It\u2019s a rhyme book to teach them the truths of God\u2019s Word\u2014to connect God\u2019s Word to the real world but, most of all, to present the gospel. I say to people: \u201cThere is no point in trying to convince people just to believe in Noah\u2019s flood or just to believe in creation unless we\u2019re leading them to the Savior, because that\u2019s what it is all about.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Dennis: <\/strong>It is, and I just want to take you back to what got you off into creation as a major message for your life. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean, I look at your life\u2014and you have defined your work \/ your mission <em>around<\/em> the creation story, back in Genesis, Chapter 1 and 2 and 3. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>It really goes back to being brought up in a home in Australia, where I had parents who <em>loved<\/em> the Word of God \/ who taught the Word of God, who were very evangelistic \/ who were very missionary-minded. In fact, when my father died, one of my brothers was with him in the hospital while he was dying and asked him the question, \u201cWhy did you love God\u2019s Word so much?\u201d\u00a0 He said, because his father died when he was 16 years old\u2014so, he said\u2014he didn\u2019t have an earthly father then. So, he turned to the words of his Heavenly Father and read them over and over and over and over again. My father <em>saturated<\/em> himself in the Word of God. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, he was a teacher. My parents were transferred every three years, because my father was always very good at what he did. He believed that: \u201cWhatever you do, you do as unto the Lord,\u201d\u2014that was one of his favorite verses of Scripture. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, you always do your best; and my mother was like that too. My parents were transferred from town to town. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn the state of Queensland, Australia\u2014I mean, Australia probably has less than one percent born-again Christians\u2014so, it is a very pagan country. I know, over here, in America, people pride themselves in the fact your founding fathers had great convictions. I tell people, \u201cOur founding fathers, in Australia, had great convictions too.\u201d\u00a0 [Laughter]\u00a0 If you understand Australian history, it started as a convict settlement; but it inherited the British system; you know?\u00a0 Because it inherited the British system, the Bible was actually read in public schools. Students grew up hearing about the Bible, but most of them didn\u2019t go to church. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut when my parents got transferred to some these country towns\u2014where there might only be one church \/ maybe two\u2014there were places where\u2014it was in the country\u2014there were no Sunday schools \/ <em>they<\/em> would start Sunday schools. They always had this heart to reach kids for the Lord. They would bring in an evangelist from the Open Air Campaigners. I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve heard of them\u2014they started in Australia. They used to ask them to come into an area, because they wanted to reach kids with the gospel. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI grew up with parents, who had this missionary emphasis; and they were very sacrificial. I remember once\u2014you know, these things are indelibly impressed in my mind\u2014when the missionary didn\u2019t have any money to get to the next town. They [his parents] looked at what they had and they gave him the last of what <em>they<\/em> had, because it was so important for them to see others hear the gospel. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy parents would never sell a piece of furniture if they were getting something to replace it\u2014they would give it away. To this day, I can\u2019t have a garage sale just because I would feel like I\u2019m turning my back on my heritage, or something like that, if I had such a thing\u2014[Laughter]\u2014just because of the way I was brought up in this sort of home. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was one of those programs\u2014you know, when I was ten years old\u2014that they brought in a missionary from the Open Air Campaigners. He challenged us\u2014those who wanted to be a missionary for the Lord\u2014to: \u201cGo wherever the Lord would lead you. Do whatever He wanted you to do, if you\u2019re prepared to do that.\u201d You know, I went forward at that meeting when I was ten years old: \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cYes; what my parents had taught me. Yes; that\u2019s what I believe. Yes; I want to be a missionary for the Lord, and I\u2019m prepared to go where He wants me to go and do what He wants me to do.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI found out, many years later\u2014you know, I didn\u2019t even really find this out until <em>years<\/em> after we were married\u2014and my wife was talking to me and explaining that, when she was a little girl\u2014she didn\u2019t grow up in a Christian home like I did\u2014but her parents sent her to Sunday school\u2014her mother particularly wanted her to go to Sunday school. When she was about eight years old\u2014and that was about the same time I made that commitment\u2014there was a Sunday school teacher that challenged them. She said she prayed: \u201cLord, if You did that for me, if You died on the cross for me, I\u2019m willing to go wherever You want me to go.

I remember, for instance, one church in a country town\u2014sometimes, there was a Methodist; sometimes, a Baptist; sometimes, a Presbyterian. So, I was brought up in different denominations in that sense, just because that\u2019s all you had. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>I remember, once, when a pastor was teaching at the front, I was sitting there in the pew.

My father, after the service, would go up\u2014<em>firmly<\/em> but gently\u2014and say to the pastor: \u201c\u2019Thus says the Lord,\u2019 it is written. Look what it says here. This was a miracle of the Lord.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy father was, all the time, researching what the liberal critics were saying to make sure he had answers to make sure we wouldn\u2019t have doubts. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tReally, he was teaching apologetics\u2014he didn\u2019t use that term\u2014but looking back on it, that\u2019s what it was. It was really apologetics. So, I saw my father teaching Bible studies; I saw him equipping people\u2014I saw his heart for the Lord. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember, once, when we were in North Queensland, and we visited our grandparents\u2019 home. They were on a farm. I remember just one time my mother, as we were going down this country road\u2014she said: \u201cOh, the two girls who used to live there when I was a kid\u2014they didn\u2019t have a way getting to Sunday school. I really wanted them to go to Sunday school. So, I worked out a way to get my father\u2019s bike. I would ride down there\u2014ride a mile-and-a-half\u2014and pick them up. Then, we\u2019d all three ride three miles to Sunday school and then ride them home again.\u201d\u00a0 She did that for months and months and months. I just remember her talking about that\u2014she only said that once. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tA couple of years ago, when I was in Australia, I did something that I wish I had done with my father\u2014it\u2019s something I would encourage people to do. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI took one of our video team with us.

I just interviewed about her life: \u201cI want to know about your life, because you were brought up as a Christian.\u201d\u00a0 I asked her about that: \u201cI remember that time that you rode that bicycle. Tell me more about it.\u201d\u00a0 She talked about it\u2014she talked about the fact that she met those ladies, as elderly ladies, just a couple of years before I interviewed her. She said: \u201cAnd one of them told me that she\u2019s really going on for the Lord. The other one said she\u2019s drifted away, but she\u2019s coming back.\u201d\u00a0 They point to those years, when she took them to Sunday school. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was interesting how that had such an impact on me because I\u2014ever since she told us that story as a kid, I kept thinking to myself: \u201cMy mother was prepared to do that.

Wow!\u00a0 She was prepared to that!\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was interesting\u2014I didn\u2019t know this\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but as I was interviewing her, my brother was sitting with me.

He would <em>never<\/em> knowingly compromise the Word of God\u2014he hated compromise. He had answers for what he believed. He taught the Word of God. They had such a heart for reaching people with the gospel. It had an <em>incredible<\/em> influence on me. So, when those attacks came on God\u2019s Word through the textbooks at school\u2014to me, it was: \u201cWhat does my father say?\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m going to wait for answers.\u201d\u00a0 I had that burden; and all through university, I had to deal with this issue. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI know the Lord just enabled me to ask certain questions and realize: \u201cWait a minute.

I know the Lord just gave that burden to me. He said to me, \u201cYou know, I\u2019ve heard there\u2019s a book from America about the flood of Noah\u2019s day.\u201d\u00a0 He said, \u201cIt\u2019s called <em>The Genesis Flood<\/em> or something.\u201d\u00a0 He said, \u201cMaybe, you want to try and find that.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, I went into the local Christian bookstore. There was only one of them there in Brisbane\u2014you know, a little, dusty attic\u2014because there\u2019s not that many Christians in Australia. I walked up there, and I saw a gentleman there\u2014I said, \u201cThere is a book from America about the Flood.\u201d\u00a0 He said, \u201cOh, yes; I have a copy.\u201d\u00a0 I bought a copy of <em>The Genesis Flood<\/em> by Whitcomb and Morris; right? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat gave me a lot of answers.

You\u2019re running the Christian group in the school.\u201d\u00a0 I said, \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cWell, you can\u2019t be a Christian.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cWhy not?\u201d\u00a0 \u201cThe Bible\u2019s not true.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cWell, why isn\u2019t it true?\u201d\u00a0 And they opened up their textbooks to the section on evolution and millions of years.

The Australian Aboriginal kids came up to me after class, and they said, \u201cSir, can you tell us more?\u201d\u00a0 It really hit me because, in Darwin\u2019s book, <em>The Descent of Man<\/em>, they\u2019re really the missing links. They were considered the missing links in evolutionary history, and they are closer to the apelike creatures. There were scientists from Germany and England, who sent people to Australia with the instructions on how to kill the Aborigines \/ skin them to get specimens. And here I am\u2014telling them: \u201cYou\u2019re my family. We\u2019re all part of the human family. You\u2019re my relative. You\u2019re related to me.

I started to be asked to speak in churches and so on. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn 1977, I and another school teacher ran the first-ever creation\/apologetics conference in Australia, in Brisbane. I had, by then, collected a lot of books from different authors around the world.
