While Ken Ham may be wrong, he actually has a point. One of Ham's biggest arguments against accepting evolution was that if people accepted evolution, they'd abandon the Bible and the church (the idea of deep time, many pre-religious cultures makes religion harder to justify). The movement of people from pro-evolution Christianity to atheism/agnosticism/deism/"just spiritual" while the creationist line remaining flat shows that evolution may turn people away from God.
As an old Earth creationist, I do think it's hard to justify ancient civilizations, especially in Oceania/Native America, with the God of the Bible. But that cognitive discomfort isn't going to make me abandon all reason and say the Earth is 6000 years old.
