Here is my question:Ham keeps talking about how historical science can't be known because it is based completely on assumptions due to the fact that we weren't there at the time. My question is how can he know that the Bible is the word of God? Was he around back when it was compiled or written?

That's my problem. 

The Bible is the word of God? 

Okay, let's try something. 

Who wrote the Bible? Did God come down, pick up a pen and start writing? 

No? Okay, then who wrote it? Dogs? Kangaroos? Gorillas? No? Let's make a guess and say that it was humans. 

Ham already admitted that humans sin. They make mistakes. 

So if humans make mistakes, and humans wrote the Bible, then what makes the Bible a) the word of God and b) the complete and utter truth?
