Sanctity of Life
| Answers in Genesis Mankind is made in God’s image and therefore human life is sacred. But euthanasia, eugenics, and abortion flow naturally from pond-scum-to-people evolution.
When Does Life Begin?
| Answers in Genesis When does human life begin? This question has confounded individuals and divided our society. Opinions have come from the right and the left, from pro-life advocates and those in favor of abortion on demand, from physicians and lawyers, from the pulpit and the courtroom.

Abortion
| Answers in Genesis Does life begin at the moment of conception or sometime later? Properly answering this question can mean the difference between life and death.

Abortion and Morality
| Answers in Genesis The tragic account of a cold-hearted abortion clinic murder—and the ensuing legal battle—reminds us of the dark connection between abortion and morality. (Warning: revolting content.)
Plan B

Planned Parenthood
| Answers in Genesis At the root of Planned Parenthood is an evolutionary philosophy that man is merely an animal in the process of evolving to his ultimate potential.
State of Abortion
| Answers in Genesis The battles to increase legal protection for the life of the unborn are encouraging and deserve our prayers and help, but a biblical, pro-life position relies on much more than politics.
Abortion and the Origins Debate
| Answers in Genesis Our belief about human origins dramatically affects how we view the issue of abortion and the sanctity of life. How should a Christian view abortion? Does the Bible provide guidance in this area? Have scientists settled the matter through their research?
Up with Down
| Answers in Genesis Recent studies indicate
that the abortion rate may
be declining for babies
diagnosed before birth with
Down syndrome.
But What If She’s Not Dead?
| Answers in Genesis Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell and Ken Ham comment on a bill that would require abortion providers to ensure emergency medical care and transportation to a hospital for failed abortions.
Abortion
| Answers in Genesis "I have read some of your articles on Abortion and found them some of the most offensive articles I have had the misfortune to read..."
fetal-heartbeat-isnt-the-issue/1 page
Fetal Heartbeat Isn't the Issue
| Answers in Genesis The intention of a recent article is clear: a baby isn’t really human or alive; therefore, bills which recognize the humanity of a baby, based on fetal heartbeat, are wrong and abortion is acceptable. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Semantics Matter: What Does the Pill Do?
| Answers in Genesis With legislation set to go into effect requiring private employers to provide abortifacients as an insurance benefit, Liberty University English professor Karen Swallow Prior has called attention to the increasingly sloppy usage of relevant terms in the controversy.
Freedom of Choice Act
| Answers in Genesis U.S. President Barack Obama has promised pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood that he will help pass the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA).
After-Birth Abortion
| Answers in Genesis Two medical ethicists have declared there is no real difference between a fetus and a newborn baby, and their moral status is the same.
Depending on Plan B
| Answers in Genesis Last August the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved selling the morning-after pill, or “Plan B,” without a prescription to women over 18 years of age.
Planned Prayer?
| Answers in Genesis It’s not a pre-April Fool’s joke. Starting in March and continuing for forty days, a Planned Parenthood group will once again hold forty days of prayer.
“I Had an Abortion and I’m Not Apologizing”
| Answers in Genesis The abortion giant Planned Parenthood recently released a new billboard campaign in Iowa to normalize the killing—murdering—of unborn children. The first set of billboards shows a picture of a woman and a quote about her experience. One billboard boldly proclaims, “I had an abortion and I’m not apologizing.”

Stem Cells
| Answers in Genesis Preserving life—it is extremely important in the Christian faith. But what is the biblical definition of life, and how does this definition affect stem cell research?
The Dilemma That Isn't
| Answers in Genesis Do the potential benefits of embryonic stem cell research justify the destruction of tiny, unborn human lives? Or is there a viable alternative?
Is the Battle for Stem Cells Over?
| Answers in Genesis The ethical use of human stem cells sparked an intense debate nearly 20 years ago. Since life and death were on the table, it’s no surprise that loud opinions and strong passions raged. Since then, the controversy has cooled and almost subsided. But not for the reasons you might expect.
News on Ethical Stem Cells
| Answers in Genesis Research into stem cell therapies continues to find new ways to harvest the valuable cells without ethical compromises, as is shown by a new breakthrough described in Nature Methods.
What Came From Fat?
| Answers in Genesis As far back as 2001, creationists pointed to liposuctioned fat as a source of stem cells that didn’t require the destruction of embryonic human life. Good to see secular scientists catching on.

Amniotic Stem Cells—A New Era?
| Answers in Genesis Knowledge that these cells have the ability to transform into so many tissue types is welcome. The promise, if fulfilled, that this technology would be available without the destruction of human life is priceless.
Cloning
| Answers in Genesis A clone is a genetically identical copy of a living organism. What about cloning humans? Should Christians view the cloning of animals differently than humans?
Scientists Have Cloned Monkeys—Are We Next?
| Answers in Genesis In a world first, scientists in China have cloned primates using the same method that created Dolly the sheep. These two long-tailed macaques are genetically identical to one another. Now, the scientists reassure us that humans aren’t next.
Like Dolly, Only Human
| Answers in Genesis The human cloning method of Shoukhrat Mitalipov’s group re-ignites the bioethics of the human embryonic stem cell debate at a whole new level.
Eugenics
| Answers in Genesis Eugenics, the sterilization of those considered “unfit,” is the logical conclusion when applying the principles of survival-of-the-fittest Darwinian evolution.
New Eugenics Exhibit
| Answers in Genesis A new exhibit at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, examines eugenics in mid-century Germany and other countries, including Norway, Spain, Brazil, Japan, and the U.S.
Is Euthanasia a Biblical Solution to Terminal Illness or Suffering?
| Answers in Genesis Should people have a right to death-on-demand by euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide to escape suffering or a life some consider “not worth living”? When we realize that this is tantamount to asking for murder-on-demand, the sanitized sounding word euthanasia takes on its true colors.
Life—a Gift from God
| Answers in Genesis Hippocrates' 'Oath' encapsulated the position of many of the Greek philosophers in condemning suicide, notably Pythagoras, and became the standard of ethics for doctors to follow.
euthanasia-children/1 page
Euthanasia . . . for Children?
| Answers in Genesis Euthanasia, also known as “doctor assisted suicide,” is the idea that a terminally ill patient (or, in some cases, just the very old, or those with predicted shortened life-span because of a sickness) can choose to end their own life, with the assistance of a doctor. Belgium now allows children of any age to choose it.
Want to Live? Canada Will Help You Die Instead
| Answers in Genesis Roger Foley of Canada, who has a degenerative brain condition, is suing a hospital, two health care agencies, and both the Ontario and Canadian governments for denying his right to “assisted life.” Instead, he’s been offered euthanasia—doctor-assisted suicide (or, really, doctor assisted murder!).
Mass Shootings
| Answers in Genesis Tragically, the news is often busy reporting another mass shooting at a school, mall, or even a church. What causes these man-made disasters?
A Christian Terrorist?
| Answers in Genesis The blame for the tragic shooting and bombing in Norway last year, which resulted in seventy-seven deaths, was initially laid at the feet of conservative Christians.

Prenatal Development: Life of an Unborn Baby
| Answers in Genesis In this overview of the life of an unborn baby, we see what a human being looks like from fertilization to birth in prenatal development. We also review the major stages of how a baby develops inside the womb until they emerge at birth from their mother.
Suicide and God’s Plan for Life
| Answers in Genesis Each year in the United States alone, tens of thousands of individuals take their own lives, and a million more attempt suicide. What help and hope can we offer to family members and friends who seek death by suicide? Why and how must we promote life? We turn to the Bible for answers.
Does Life Begin with the First Breath?
| Answers in Genesis The Bible’s testimony is that life begins at fertilization. So, how can some people argue that the Bible explicitly teaches life doesn’t begin until after birth, when the baby takes his or her first breath of air? Those who posit this argument don’t apply their thinking consistently throughout the passage.
Will Crime Rates Go Up Because Roe v. Wade Was Overturned?
| Answers in Genesis With the recent reversal of Roe v. Wade, some have made a grim prediction—now that abortion access is going to be restricted in several states, there will be higher crime rates in 15–20 years. Should we expect this to happen? If so, are pro-lifers wrong to oppose abortion?
“Fetus” Stage: Week 9 in the Life of an Unborn Baby
| Answers in Genesis By nine weeks of life (11 weeks gestational age), a baby has developed arms and legs (with individual fingers and toes), which he or she can begin to move. All the baby’s major organs have formed, including the reproductive organs particular to the baby’s gender, although a baby’s sex isn’t yet clear via ultrasound.
Defining Life: Fertilization
| Answers in Genesis When does life begin? For every sexually reproducing species, the answer is obvious: fertilization is where life begins. Yet somehow, this definition is contentious when some talk about humans. But new life begins with fertilization, period.

Flesh and Blood

Embryo Protection
| Answers in Genesis It’s good to learn about ourselves and the world, but we must take care to preserve human life in the process. Can we observe embryo development without causing harm? Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell explains.
Christians and Suicide Prevention
| Answers in Genesis Just as with every other issue of life, we need to understand what God’s Word says about suicide. Though the Bible never explicitly commands, “Thou shalt not commit suicide,” it talks repeatedly about life and how we can best live it.
Misspeaking About Miscarriage
| Answers in Genesis After 6,000 years of disease and degradation, the Curse of Genesis 3:16 is particularly poignant for the millions of women who have experienced miscarriage. How can we avoid saying and thinking the wrong things about this difficult issue?
Speak Life: Ensuring Our Words Match Our Beliefs
| Answers in Genesis As Christians who embrace a life-affirming worldview, we often discuss how beautifully designed the human body is—a masterpiece of God’s creation. So how does a child with a genetic disorder, or anyone with a disability, fit into this worldview?
Human Trafficking
| Answers in Genesis When the West rejected the Creator, it tossed out the one sure foundation for human dignity and purity. Without the light of God’s Word, the floodgates have opened to a new form of slavery in the West—trafficking in human lives to fulfill carnal lusts.

Media Reports “Around 1,000” People Attend DC March for Life
| Answers in Genesis In an obvious display of their anti-life bias, many major news outlets completely ignored the massive crowd at the annual March for Life, in Washington, DC. But one outlet, CNN, condescended to cover the story (on Snapchat), but claimed only “around 1,000 people” showed up to march in defense of the defenseless.
Do Embryo Adoptions “Give Too Much Personhood to the Embryo”?
| Answers in Genesis From a Christian perspective, rescuing and adopting embryos is a wonderful thing—these babies are being saved and given what is needed for them to fully develop. So, why are many in the medical community not very positive regarding these adoptions?

| Answers in Genesis If a professing Christian admits that the authors of Scripture were teaching a specific concept but declares that the biblical author was wrong, then that individual is a false teacher. Scripture is ultimately God’s Word, so declaring any part of what Scripture teaches to be wrong is ultimately saying that God is wrong.
BioLogos: House of Heresy & False Teaching
| Answers in Genesis Declaring a professing believer or ministry to be heretical and guilty of false teaching is a serious charge. Understanding the full weight of leveling such an accusation, however, I maintain that the BioLogos organization is guilty as charged.

| Answers in Genesis I have to be honest: even after close to 20 years of crisscrossing my home country of Canada, speaking about the importance of Genesis 1–11 and biblical authority, it always amazes me when I meet a fellow believer that downplays the topic as irrelevant to the gospel.

Of Fools and Follies
| Answers in Genesis Christians need to stand out as they speak out and live their lives as a testimony to their love for God and his word. The term apologetics is often associated with this type of engagement as it refers to the ability to give a reasoned defense of the faith and proclamation of the gospel as per the command of 1 Peter 3:15.
Why Evolution’s "Emperor" (Natural Selection) Has No Clothes!
| Answers in Genesis Because natural selection is so equated with the story of evolution, and biblical creationists of course do not hold to the evolutionary story, many people are sometimes surprised when they find out we actually “believe in” natural selection, perhaps thinking we do see the Emperor’s shiny getup.

The House of Mirrors

Revisionist History 101
| Answers in Genesis Old books are of particular interest to me, as they give a much clearer understanding of what was in the minds of those living at the time they were written. One of my favorite finds was a 1903 reprint of the original 1828 version of Webster’s dictionary.
The Rock of (Long) Ages?
| Answers in Genesis Looking back at the western Christian church until around 100 years ago was like a fortress, with watchmen around its parapets, preaching salvation to the lost world. All seemed well on the outside, but the enemy was already on the inside, undermining it from within.

Oh, That Will Never Happen in Canada!
| Answers in Genesis I’ve had believers in Canada object to the logical conclusions of my presentations in churches- that if the assault on biblical authority (founded on Genesis 1:11 as the seed bed for all Christian doctrines), and the current assault on Christian values continues in Canada- eventually the Bible will be outlawed.

A Tale of Two Prophets
| Answers in Genesis There are certain people that can take a limited number of facts in the present and come to very accurate conclusions regarding what will likely occur in the future. Some may call them prophetic, not in the sense that God has revealed future events to them supernaturally but because they simply use their God-given cognitive gifts in a unique way.
The Bid for "Intellectual Credibility" Among Many Christian Leaders in the West
| Answers in Genesis Many mainstream Christian leaders have tried to insert themselves into political and/or social justice issues over the past six months of the COVID-19 crisis. Watching them fumble around in a seeming attempt to be relevant in a culture that has largely dismissed them long ago is often embarrassing to watch.

Half-Truths Aren’t True at All
| Answers in Genesis For decades now, many Christian leaders in the West seem to have dedicated themselves to convince the average pew sitter to accept the secular world’s interpretations of origins, including Big Bang and millions of years.
Creation or Evolution: Is There a Third Option?
| Answers in Genesis In a world where the concept of absolute truth seems to be viewed increasingly like pink unicorns or fairy dust, Bible skeptics often seem more and more inclined to deal in the abstract or propose obtuse ideas rather than deal with concrete principles where discussions can advance, and conclusions can be drawn.

Western World Missionaries
| Answers in Genesis Jesus’ command to “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations . . . ” in Matthew 28:19 is an integral part of the mission statement of most churches and why most allocate funds and take up special offerings towards missionaries they support.
Telling Half of the Story
| Answers in Genesis In an age of half-truths, half-lies, and fake news, the Bible stands in contrast to man’s word, firm in its clear representation of the good and holy Creator God of the Bible.

Playing With Personhood
| Answers in Genesis Christians, it is time to stop messing around with ideas like millions of years of supposed evolution and attempting to insert them into the Bible where they don’t belong and where they do great damage to biblical understanding.
Ex Post Facto Death
| Answers in Genesis All compromise positions regarding Genesis (gap theory, progressive creation, theistic evolution, etc.) require a millions-of-years time frame that defies the plain reading of God’s Word (as Keller and most theistic evolutionists admit).
