I saw Ken Ham speak at a homeschool conference on Science and the subject of evolution. I walked out of there in awe of Gods word and the simple problem of believing evolution and being a Christian. I was raised in a secular environment and evolution was fact I thought… Oh, but there was a deep theological issue that I had not thought about yet. After years of prayer, research, reading all sides and theories. Simple, the bible had to be trusted, not with blind faith but a faith that is rooted in what we can observe. AIG gives Christians answers. We give AIG our highest recommendation.
The Nature of True Observational Science
About Answers in Genesis
Answers in Genesis – Creation, Evolution, Christian Apologetics
AiG teaches that “facts” don’t speak for themselves, but must be interpreted. That is, there aren’t separate sets of “evidence” for evolution and creation—we all deal with the same evidence (we all live on the same earth, have the same fossils, observe the same animals, etc.). The difference lies in how we interpret what we study. The Bible—the “history book of the universe”—provides a reliable, eye-witness account of the beginning of all things, and can be trusted to tell the truth in all areas it touches on. Therefore, we are able to use it to help us make sense of this present world. When properly understood, the “evidence” confirms the biblical account.
Evolution Refuted

Also, for information on the issues we deal with and which ones we don’t, see Where Do We Draw the Line?

Meet Ken Ham
Since moving to America in 1987, Australian Ken Ham—president and founder of Answers in Genesis-U.S., the highly acclaimed Creation Museum (over 1.5 million visitors in four years), and visionary behind the construction of a full-size Noah’s Ark—has become one of the most in-demand Christian conference speakers and talk show guests. (In one year alone he appeared on: Fox’s The O’Reilly Factor and Fox and Friends in the Morning; CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, ABC’s Good Morning America, the BBC, etc.).
In May of 2007, Answers in Genesis opened its high-tech and acclaimed Creation Museum and education center in the Cincinnati, Ohio, area (on 70 scenic acres in Petersburg, Kentucky). The brainchild of Ken Ham, the state-of-the-art facility contains dozens of world-class exhibits—including impressive animatronic dinosaur models and planetarium—which are now on display inside the 75,000-sq-ft museum. AiG will now be partnering to build the Ark Encounter, an attraction of nine themed areas with a full-scale, all-wood Ark as its centerpiece, about 40 miles south of the museum.
A biblical apologist, Ken gives numerous faith-building talks to tens of thousands of children and adults each year (he receives hundreds of invitations to speak annually) on such topics as the reliability of the Bible, how compromise over biblical authority has undermined society and even the church (which is seeing a massive exodus of young people), witnessing more effectively, dinosaurs, “races,” etc. Ken co-founded AiG in 1994 with the purpose of upholding the authority of the Bible from the very first verse.
Ken is the author of many books on Genesis, including the eye-opening book Already Gone, co-authored by renowned researcher Britt Beemer on why so many young people have left the church, the best-selling The Lie: Evolution, and a number of children’s books (Dinosaurs of Eden, D is for Dinosaur, A is for Adam, etc.). Other recent co-authored books include One Race, One Blood and How Could a Loving God …?, and he co-authored the provocative book Already Compromised about Christian colleges and how they treat the authority of the Bible.
Ken is heard daily on the radio feature Answers … with Ken Ham (broadcast on more than 500 stations) and is a frequent guest on national TV talk-show programs. Since the Creation Museum opened, he has been interviewed on CBS News Sunday Morning, The NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, The PBS News Hour with Jim Lehrer, and many other outlets. Ken is also the founder of the award-winning Answers magazine, which won the prestigious “Award of Excellence” (for top Christian magazine) in 2011 from the Evangelical Press Association. He also writes articles for AiG’s popular website www.AnswersInGenesis.org, which was the 2012 recipient of the “Best Ministry Website” as awarded by the 1,200-member National Religious Broadcasters (in 2011 the website was receiving one-million visitors a month).
Ken’s emphasis is on the relevance and authority of the book of Genesis to the life of the average Christian, and how compromise on Genesis has opened a dangerous door regarding how the culture and church view biblical authority. His Australian accent, a keen sense of humor, captivating stories, and exceptional PowerPoint/Keynote illustrations have made him one of North America’s most effective Christian communicators. Several of his live talks were recorded and released in a well-produced DVD set and curriculum titled Foundations (2011).
Ken is also able to reflect on some of the “hot button” topics of our day (e.g., the breakdown of the society and the family unit, “gay” marriage, school violence, creation/evolution in public schools, abortion, homosexual behavior, lawlessness, etc.) and relate them to the book of Genesis. In addition, he provides biblical and scientific answers to some of the most difficult questions people ask about the Christian faith, including:
- How can we reclaim the culture for biblical truths—and keep young people in the church?
- Can we really trust the Bible from its very first verse?
- How can we build a biblical worldview starting with Genesis?
- How do we know there is a God?
- Are dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible?
- How can we evangelize more effectively?
- Who was Cain’s wife?
- Why do we see death and suffering (tsunamis, terrorist attacks, etc.) in this world?
Ken’s bachelor’s degree in applied science (with an emphasis on environmental biology) was awarded by the Queensland Institute of Technology in Australia. He also holds a diploma of education from the University of Queensland (a graduate qualification necessary for Ken to begin his initial career as a science teacher in the public schools in Australia).
In recognition of the contribution Ken has made to the church in the USA and internationally, Ken has been awarded four honorary doctorates: a Doctor of Divinity (1997) from Temple Baptist College in Cincinnati, Ohio, a Doctor of Literature (2004) from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, a Doctor of Letters (2010) from Tennessee Temple University, and a Doctorate in Humane Letters from Mid-Continent University in Kentucky (2012).
Ken and his wife, Mally, reside in the Cincinnati area. They have five children and seven grandchildren.

Saw Ken a few years back in NH. Great ministry. Too many Christians (I include myself at one point) neglect to see the importance of Genesis.
I also love John Ankerberg but, was saddened to recently find out his take on 6 days vs millions of years. He had Ken Ham on his show and was almost rude to him. I’m friends with John on FB and he has not answered my question.
I asked him how he could doubt the literal 6 days of creation yet, believe Jesus rose from the dead, Moses parting the Red Sea, Sodom destroyed, etc; etc;
Nice site, well done. Carry on!
creation.com/ is a much better place to look for creation apologetics. AGI is simply better known, but there are things about Ken Ham and AGI regarding the split in creation ministries from about 10 years ago, and I blame Ham a lot more than the others. I know the behind the scenes story, and this is why I say this.
