gender/1 page [+48 in 48 subfolders]
Gender
| Answers in Genesis What does the Bible have to say about gender roles? Does Scripture teach sexism and female inferiority? What about male headship?
What Is a Woman?
| Answers in Genesis God created humankind as male and female, both in his image. So, it’s not surprising that people who hate God want to attack how he created us and attempt to subvert and demean the most fundamental categories of humanity.
Is Male Headship a “Curse”?
| Answers in Genesis Do women try to take over man’s authority? Is male headship a “curse”? Steve Golden, AiG–U.S., replies to a reader’s questions about his earlier article.
Inferior or Equal
| Answers in Genesis Modern extreme feminism places women in authority over men, while traditional Darwinian evolution places women far below men. And since the Bible directs that a wife be in submission to her husband, even Christians may wonder, “Is the woman inferior or equal?”
bringing-clarity-confused-world/1 page
Transgender—Bringing Clarity to a Confused World
| Answers in Genesis You know them well: a child who was born a boy has “transitioned” to a girl (or vice versa). The transgender movement has shattered the culture’s understanding of God’s design. How can Christians respond with biblical love and integrity?
A Purpose Better than Feminism
| Answers in Genesis Few things get people more up in arms than when we talk about gender and God’s design for women. Even those within the Christian community bring a lot of baggage to how we view manhood and womanhood according to the Bible’s creation account.
Sad Consequences of Gender Revolution Laws
| Answers in Genesis Yet another report has hit the news of a child, in this case a 10-year-old girl, being sexually assaulted in a restroom by a biological male who self-identifies as a woman. For his offense, the perpetrator was banned from having any further contact with children and was given community services and electronic tagging.
Psychology Today Chides People for Not Dating Trans People
| Answers in Genesis Who is in your potential dating pool? That was the question asked in a recent study. The choices included a variety of gender “identities,” including cisgender woman, transgender man, and someone who is non-binary. Unsurprisingly, 87.5% of individuals only chose either a cisgender man or a cisgender woman.
Delaware Students May Soon Self-Identify Gender and “Race”
| Answers in Genesis According to an opinion piece in National Post, students in Delaware public schools may soon be able to self-identify their own gender or “race.” The state is expected to adopt a resolution, approved by both the governor and Delaware State Education Association, that allows for this.
womens-college-dont-call-students-women/1 page
Women’s College: Don’t Call Students “Women”
| Answers in Genesis Professors at a women’s college in Massachusetts, Mount Holyoke College, have been instructed not to refer to their students as “women.” Instead they are to use the gender-neutral term “students.” Reportedly, they have also been asked not to refer to “the two genders,” male and female.
homosexuality/1 page [+55 in 55 subfolders]
Homosexuality
| Answers in Genesis What does the Bible have to say about homosexual “marriage”? How should Christians respond to the ever increasing acceptance of this behavior?
Penguin Partners Promote LGBTQ?
| Answers in Genesis Sydney Aquarium has used an exhibit to justify same-sex attraction as “natural.” As animals are not moral creatures, we should not look to them to determine morality.
Penguin Homosexuality
| Answers in Genesis After previous reports of homosexual penguins, the birds seem to be an icon of aberrant sexual practice. But headlines aside, new research shows there’s relatively little to the idea of penguin homosexuality.
Trading Truth for Tolerance?
| Answers in Genesis The cultural divide in America concerning the family is growing. Hollywood films and other media have launched an aggressive campaign to normalize same-sex relationships.
Chick-Fil-A Expansion into Canada Sparks LGBT Outrage
| Answers in Genesis The American chicken sandwich chain Chick-Fil-A recently announced it was expanding into Canada, but the news quickly sparked outrage from some of the Canadian LGBT community because the CEO believes in biblical marriage.
Audacious Love
| Answers in Genesis How can we share the truth about homosexuality
without appearing to be unloving—or worse, actually
acting in unloving ways?
Troops Moving Out
| Answers in Genesis As expected, the decision by the Boy Scouts of America to open membership to homosexual youth is leading to an exodus of churches as troop sponsors.
God’s Not Clear on Homosexual Behavior?
| Answers in Genesis God does not allow us to pick and choose which verses to follow or reject. But those who say the Bible doesn’t condemn homosexual behavior do just that. Tim Chaffey, AiG–U.S., explains.
Ungodly Regulations
| Answers in Genesis In the UK last February, the Equality Act became law. There is a little-noticed section of the Act that gives the Government the right to introduce “Regulations” on sexual orientation discrimination.

Tie-Dye Heart
| Answers in Genesis Life with adopted and foster siblings brought the author close to the brokenness of a fallen world—and to part of God’s plan to help redeem that brokenness.
Marriage

match-made-heaven/1 page
A Match Made in Heaven
| Answers in Genesis Many women have the impression that the Genesis account of Adam and Eve imposed a humiliating, subservient role on women. Is this really the case?
2.4 The Origin of Marriage (OB4)
| Answers in Genesis Marriage is a gift of God. When God brought to Adam the woman who was specially created for him, he cried out joyfully: “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh.”
Paganism and the Transsexual Revolution
| Answers in Genesis For much of the twentieth century, the western world lived under the umbrella of the Christian worldview. People generally built their presuppositions about the world on the Christian worldview. What is happening now in western culture is not just the influence of secularism but also the return of ancient paganism.

Sexuality: Broken and Redeemed
| Answers in Genesis When I first saw the erotic novel at the

But by age 15, I was caught in a pattern

| Answers in Genesis Today, it is not uncommon to see fathers in the church who are either passive or absent in raising their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Raising your children in the Lord is about leading as a father who is himself constantly under the influence of the Holy Spirit (see Galatians 5:16–23).

Always Standing for the Truth
| Answers in Genesis My father (and the ministry of AiG) understood that the idea of evolution and millions of years is not just a side issue or just about how people understand Genesis 1–11. What we believe about Genesis has consequences for how we read and understand the entire Bible—including the New Testament and especially the gospel!

Where Parenting Begins
| Answers in Genesis Our children face a tough world, and every Christian parent yearns to direct them in the ways of the Lord. But effective parenting begins with a proper understanding of ourselves—as found in Genesis. We teach more from our actions and reactions than from our instructions.

Peppered Moths . . . Evidence for Evolution?
| Answers in Genesis The story of the peppered moth has been set forth for decades as the prime example of evolution in action. It is a fascinating story about how, due to a combination of environmental changes and selective predation, a moth turned into, well, a moth. But, are peppered moths really evidence of evolution?
Honey Bee Medicine
| Answers in Genesis It was recently discovered by Maori and collaborators that double-stranded microRNA (miRNAs) fed to honey bees conferred resistance to certain viral diseases that they were exposed to. It worked through a process called “RNA interference”; a molecular mechanism whereby ingested RNA actually silences certain genes.

| Answers in Genesis The Book of Genesis, meaning "creation" or "generation," is the first book of the Bible. It was named by the Septuagint (LXX) translators because it gives an account of the origin of all things. Genesis tells us what God wants us to know about his creation.
Garden of Eden
| Answers in Genesis The garden of Eden—a peaceful paradise. Was it real, what exactly was it, and does it still exist today?

Where Was the Garden of Eden?
| Answers in Genesis God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Most Bible commentaries state the Garden of Eden was in the Middle East, but what does Scripture tell us?
¿Dónde estaba ubicado el huerto del Edén?
| Answers in Genesis ¿Dónde está ubicado el huerto del Edén? Esta es una de las grandes preguntas vigentes a través de la historia hasta hoy y todavía produce gran curiosidad. Lea el corto artículo con base bíblica y geológica para aprender sobre su sorpresiva respuesta.
Was the Garden of Eden Located in Iraq?
| Answers in Genesis As a Christianity-defending ministry, Answers in Genesis is often engaged in dispelling widely held myths that run contrary to the teachings of Scripture, as well as good research.

The Tree of Life
| Answers in Genesis ‘Did the Tree of Life mentioned in the book of Genesis, have power to impart immortality to mortal man, as might be deduced from Genesis 3:22?’
gap-theory/1 page [+9 in 9 subfolders]
Gap Theory
| Answers in Genesis One popular interpretation of Genesis 1 shoehorns a millions-of-years gap between verses 1 and 2. Is this a valid interpretation?
Mind the Gap
| Answers in Genesis The gap theory is simply compromise. It is an attempt to harmonise the facts of Scripture with the ideas of fallen men.
Closing the Gap
| Answers in Genesis Two centuries ago in an effort to explain “prehistoric” fossils, Christian leaders introduced the idea that a gap of time is missing between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.
A Gap in Knowledge
| Answers in Genesis A well-known US ‘televangelist’ (i.e. television preacher), who frequently appears on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), recently promoted the compromise view known as the ‘gap theory.’
The Gap Theory (Part A)
| Answers in Genesis There have been many attempts to harmonize or combine the Genesis account of the creation with orthodox “modern” geology—e.g. theistic evolution and progressive creation.
Genesis: Does It Matter?
| Answers in Genesis Many Christians say it doesn’t matter what you believe about Genesis and the question of origins or Earth’s age. The gospel, however, rests upon Genesis!
What Does Genesis Mean?
| Answers in Genesis Many Christians have a different principle for interpreting Genesis 1–11 than they do for the rest of God’s Word. So what does Genesis really mean?
Genesis or Revelation?
| Answers in Genesis Popular interest suggests Revelation is the most important book in the Bible, but only Genesis serves as a foundation for a proper Christian worldview.
creation-mandate/1 page
Creation Mandate
| Answers in Genesis Whether you are a homeschool mom managing children in multiple grades or a single student just trying to keep up with work and grades—and everywhere in between—you can fulfill the creation mandate and glorify God in your own life.
genesis-ane-hermeneutic-vs-plain-meaning/1 page
Reading Genesis: ANE Hermeneutic vs. Plain Meaning
| Answers in Genesis How did the universe come into existence? How has the world developed since the beginning? What is mankind and how are we related to the rest of creation? Thinking people in every culture and every generation have asked these questions.
gods-love-genesis/1 page
God’s Love in Genesis
| Answers in Genesis God’s benevolence and affection can be seen in creation, the fall, deliverance from judgment, and toward specific people in the book of Genesis – and it applies to us today.
Real Time or “God’s Time”?
| Answers in Genesis In an effort to insert millions of years into the Bible, some Christians argue that God’s time is not the same as ours. Because “a day is as a thousand years” to the Lord, they say the “days” of creation in Genesis 1 could have lasted millions of years. Was Genesis 1 written from the perspective of “God’s time”?
What Is the Image of God?
| Answers in Genesis A functional view of the image of God based on evolutionary presuppositions will ultimately have an impact on how one understands sin and salvation.
An Uncertain Sound
| Answers in Genesis There are several compromise positions about Genesis that permeate the church. All these views have one thing in common: they try to accommodate what the secularists believe about origins.
other-interpretations-of-genesis/1 page
Other “Interpretations” of Genesis
| Answers in Genesis The purpose of this section is to define some of the interpretive schemes that have arisen since the idea of vast ages became popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
God the Separator
| Answers in Genesis An Old Testament professor thinks the translations of Genesis should be rewritten—to accommodate her view on what the text actually means.

Dr. Andrew Parker and the Strange Genesis Interpretation
| Answers in Genesis In one of the strangest news stories we’ve examined to date, an Oxford biologist declares that Genesis is incredibly accurate; then says “creationism is totally unfounded”; then admits “the first page of the Bible . . . doesn’t spell out any of the science in detail.”
Stuck in Genesis
| Answers in Genesis When Dorma Finch taught the Bible to college women in the Ukraine, she had planned to teach the Bible chronologically.
genesis-and-justice/1 page
Genesis and Justice
| Answers in Genesis Genesis should be foundational to every human society. If those truths are ignored, distorted or rejected, consequences will occur—they will be litigated and, if successful, imposed upon society.
Luther on Evolution
| Answers in Genesis When Luther looked at the text of Genesis concerning creation, he marvelled at Moses’ use of simple words and was troubled by the way many commentators and writers had confused the clear scripture.
Genesis According to Evolution
| Answers in Genesis When confronted with what the Bible says about origins, many Christians have argued that God could not have communicated that He created in this manner to people in a pre-scientific age.
the-narrow-road/1 page
The Narrow Road
| Answers in Genesis A pastor’s wife called me to plead with us not to, as she put it, ‘alienate people in the church’ with our stand on the ‘non-essentials in Genesis.’
Genesis Does Matter
| Answers in Genesis Many Christians fail to realize that the events of Genesis are literal, are historical (particularly Genesis 1-11), and are foundational to all Christian doctrine.
The Original ‘Unknown’ God of China
| Answers in Genesis Why did the emperors sacrifice a bull on the great white marble Altar of Heaven at an annual ceremony, the year’s most important and colourful celebration, the so-called ‘Border Sacrifice’?
The “Bottom Strip”
| Answers in Genesis The AiG message is that the Bible, beginning with Genesis, is the “bottom strip” that builds a worldview to make sense of this world.
Who Said It: Competency in Genesis
| Answers in Genesis Who was defending God so strongly with the claim God’s power could be enhanced if we believe in evolution? Who was defending religion so strongly that he felt the writer of Genesis could be wrong?
