Rameses the Great
| Answers in Genesis If he wasn’t the greatest of the pharaohs, he certainly thought he was. Having fathered over 50 sons and probably a similar number of daughters, we would have to concede to his claim for greatness.
A Correct Chronology
| Answers in Genesis Because of the ambiguous, and often erroneous nature of the information upon which Egyptian chronology must be calculated, it is not possible to present a full list of Egyptian dynasties and dates.

The Step Pyramid
| Answers in Genesis The Step PyrJust why there should have been this new development of using stone instead of mud brick is still debated by scholars.
Picking and Choosing Evidence
| Answers in Genesis Archaeological evidence provides information about many post-Babel civilizations, but constructing a timeline without a direct eyewitness elicits imagination.
casting-stones-at-the-pyramids/1 page
Casting Stones at the Pyramids
| Answers in Genesis New evidence regarding the advanced technology evident in the ancient Egyptian pyramids is consistent with the Bible’s account of history. The evolutionary model of the history of early man presents man as an ignorant primitive gradually acquiring intellectual skills and technology. However, the biblical description of mankind’s dispersal from the Tower of Babel is consistent with the findings of advanced technology among ancient people all over the world.

Imagine No Creator
| Answers in Genesis Dr. Jason Lisle, AiG–U.S., shows why a universe with stability and laws of logic requires the biblical God—even hypothetical ones.
Should Christians Trust Scientific Experts?

Flat Earth Topic
| Answers in Genesis Contrary to common misconception, the medieval church did not teach that the earth was flat, and there are many ways we know that the earth is spherical.
Does the North Star (Polaris) Prove the Earth Is Flat?
| Answers in Genesis Flat-earthers falsely claim that Polaris remains motionless in the sky as all other stars circle it. That is the impression one gets by watching the sky over several hours. Even long exposure photographs and time-lapse videos seem to show this too. However, appearances can be deceiving.
Reflections on the Flat-Earth Movement
| Answers in Genesis In preparation for the premiere of the documentary Faith on the Edge: Exploring the Biblical and Scientific Case Against Flat Earth, I gathered my thoughts on the sociology of the flat-earth movement into 20 points. Though I’m no sociologist, I’ve fleshed most of those 20 points into a narrative.
God’s Flawless Design of Water Makes Life Possible

Dark Matter No Longer Required?
| Answers in Genesis Dark matter, a moderately evil-sounding, hypothesized component that is described as helping hold galaxies together, was all the rage just a few months ago. Now, a team of two astrophysicists is arguing that their modified theory of gravity explains the data and leaves no role for dark matter.
The Hubble Law

success. It vastly improved our understanding
of Saturn. The space probe Cassini’s most amazing discovery didn’t make the headlines: the clear testimony to
Saturn’s young age and the fact that it had a Creator.
Age of the Solar System
| Answers in Genesis Many dating methods establish a maximum age for many earth and space systems that is much too small to confirm the evolutionary age of 4.5 billion years.
What about the Origin of the Solar System and the Planets?
| Answers in Genesis Most scientists today think that the earth formed about the
same time as the sun and everything else in the solar system—about 4.6 billion
years ago. The solar system supposedly formed gradually from the collapse of a
cloud of gas and dust. Obviously, this idea is at odds with the biblical creation
narrative.
The Puzzle of Pluto
| Answers in Genesis Since it’s discovery in 1930, tiny Pluto has been a mystery. Lying at the edge of the solar system far from earth, Pluto is visible only with large telescopes.

Indeed, it has been difficult to explain even the physical constants of the universe without resorting to some sort of “intelligent design” position. Multiverse to the rescue!
Recent Studies of Cosmological (Cosmic?) Importance
| Answers in Genesis Recently there have been press accounts of two new studies related to cosmology. However, before he can discuss this new research, Dr. Danny Faulkner provides background information on the Hubble Law, measuring the Hubble constant, and the cosmological constant versus dark energy.

A Galaxy with Little or No Dark Matter
| Answers in Genesis The discovery of a galaxy with little or no dark matter disproves MOND. Therefore, the reality of dark matter is more certain. What is dark matter? Before we can answer this question a little better, we briefly need to review the history of our understanding of dark matter.
Galaxy Games
| Answers in Genesis This year stretched the imaginations of many astronomers and cosmologists. They have discovered amazing features at the outer reaches of the universe.

Taking Back Astronomy Excerpt
| Answers in Genesis Many of the Bible’s statements about astronomy went against the generally accepted teachings of the past. Modern science, however, has confirmed what the Bible has taught.
Black Holes
| Answers in Genesis What are black holes, and are they real? How can we observe them if their gravity is so strong that not even light can escape?
Comets
| Answers in Genesis Comets can’t last even hundreds of thousands of years. The bright tail of the comet reminds us that the universe is young—just as the Bible says!
More Problems for the ‘Oort Comet Cloud’
| Answers in Genesis Comets are continually being lost through decay, collisions with planets, and ejections from the solar system. If the solar system were billions of years old, then all comets would have died long ago.
Comet-Based Life?
| Answers in Genesis A team of astrobiologists claim that “it is one trillion trillion times more likely that life started inside a slushy comet than on Earth.”

A Comet’s Tale
| Answers in Genesis You may have seen the footage of the S-W 3 comet breaking apart, but it’s doubtful that you heard anything about its implications for evolutionary beliefs.
The Tale of a Comet
| Answers in Genesis A camera on the Hubble Space Telescope has recently captured remarkable images of a comet breaking apart. This event has something important to say about the age of the solar system.
Extrasolar Planets
| Answers in Genesis Astronomers are constantly discovering extrasolar planets orbiting distant stars. Are these mysterious bodies other earths with the potential to contain life?
just-right-for-life/1 page
Just Right for Life
| Answers in Genesis We’re just one out of millions of planets where life is likely to exist. You’ll hear this claim more and more. Don’t believe it.
Goldilocks Is Dead: Exoplanets Are Inhospitable to Life
| Answers in Genesis In a recent news article, researchers at the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo took a look at the most recent number of extrasolar planets (around 4,000) in the habitable zone (also frequently called the Goldilocks zone) and applied an additional set of conditions needed for “life to form.”
unseen-planet/1 page
Unseen Planet
| Answers in Genesis When a planet bears any resemblance to our own planet, the speculation begins that it may be the home to extraterrestrial life.
Home Away from Home
| Answers in Genesis Astronomers have found yet another “Earth-like” planet (how many does this make, anyway?). Once again, it’s not exactly home away from home.
100% Questionable
| Answers in Genesis The recent discovery of a unique (so far) planet outside our solar system has caused a lot of excitement and speculation.
alien-planet-outsider-solar-system-galaxy/1 page
“Alien Planet” Is an Outsider
| Answers in Genesis No, the "alien planet" isn't home to alien life (as far as we know); according to astronomers, the planet itself is a veritable outsider in not only its own solar system, but in our entire galaxy.
possible-planet-with-life-forms/1 page
Possible Planet with Life Forms
| Answers in Genesis If true, it would be perhaps the most revolutionary discovery in human history: a planet twenty light-years from earth that is not only habitable, but that has its own life-forms. There’s only one problem: scientists aren’t even sure the planet is there.
Gaseous Planet May be Rocky
| Answers in Genesis A faraway gaseous planet may also be, in a metaphorical sense, “rocky”: astronomers hope it will be a “Rosetta stone” for exoplanetary research.
poor-planet-wasp-12b/1 page
Poor Planet WASP-12b
| Answers in Genesis Pity poor planet WASP-12b: its host star not only heats it to more than 4,700˚F (2600˚C), but also is in the process of eating it.
Goofy Planet is Backwards
| Answers in Genesis For the first time, astronomers have detected a planet that could be said to “swim against the flow”—orbiting in the opposite direction from the spin of its star.
How Many Earths Again?
| Answers in Genesis Two weeks ago we covered a study that said there could be up to 37,964 alien civilizations in the Milky Way. Now, the number of Earth-like planets in the Milky Way has been enumerated: 100,000,000,000.
Livable Planets Believed to Be More Common
| Answers in Genesis The search for life far from earth seems to expand every month, with greater attention—and money—focused on finding planets with “conditions suitable for life.” Now, a new study suggests these “livable” planets may be more common than we thought.
Search for Spock: New Mission
| Answers in Genesis Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory are eagerly considering the prospect of life on an earth-like planet (named Vulcan in homage to Star Trek) orbiting a nearby star.
earth-2/1 page
Earth #2
| Answers in Genesis Scientists are exuberant following the discovery of a planet only slightly larger than earth.
Scientists Search for a New Earth
| Answers in Genesis In a major surprise to those looking for earth-like planets beyond our solar system, the first extrasolar planet examined-HD 189733b, for those keeping score-shows no signs of “common molecules like water, methane, or carbon dioxide,” announced Carl Grillmair and David Charbonneau of the Spitzer Science Center and Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, respectively.

Life on Mars
| Answers in Genesis Will life be found inhabiting the rocky, desert-like surface of the Red Planet, our nearest celestial neighbor, Mars?
Can Lake on Mars Support Life?
| Answers in Genesis When a feature on Mars was noted to resemble a dry lake bed, researchers anticipated it would be a “candy store of targets” in the search for Martian life.
The Curious Case of Martian Mania
| Answers in Genesis With the successful on-target Mars landing of the robotic rover dubbed Curiosity, a normally staid group of engineers and scientists erupted with joy as a fruit of their labor was achieved.
Martian Ancestry
| Answers in Genesis Evolutionary scientists have spent years—and billions of dollars—searching for Martian life, coming up empty-handed despite their best efforts. Or is the problem their assumption that Martian life would be on Mars at all—instead of, say, Earth?
martian-fossils/1 page
Martian Fossils
| Answers in Genesis It’s no secret that fossils play a prominent role in the debate over the history of life on Earth. But will we soon be arguing over the meaning of Martian fossils?
Mars May Hold Nutrients for Life
| Answers in Genesis If off-season vegetables shipped in from far-away places are getting too expensive, perhaps it won’t be too long before vegetables will come straight from Mars!
Mars Believed Too Salty to Support Life
| Answers in Genesis In a pair of stories related to our above item, new evidence gathered by one of the Mars rovers indicates Mars “was too salty to sustain life for much of its history.” Even the hardiest microbes would have found it difficult to survive amid brackish water. Meanwhile, a Dutch–American study indicates that unique geological features on Mars were formed by “brief bursts of water.”
we-are-all-martians/1 page
We Are All Martians
| Answers in Genesis Men (and women) are from Mars—though the popular tongue-in-cheek hypothesis lacks proof, it received an injection of plausibility in September from a baseball-sized rock that fell from the sky.
Mars
| Answers in Genesis As rovers and probes are sent to explore the uncharted surface of Mars, the discoveries are exciting. How should Bible-believing Christians view these finds?
Was Noah a Martian?
| Answers in Genesis Noah's Flood actually occurred on Mars—not Earth! Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? But a recent New York Times article suggested, in essence, exactly that!
The Martian Runt
| Answers in Genesis Mars is a runt because it formed quickly and was lucky enough to stay out of the way of on-coming traffic. So goes the latest step in the planetary shuffle.
Hot Air Over Mars
| Answers in Genesis The fuss over martian methane—which had fueled hopes for life on the Red Planet—may be misplaced, according to a new study.
“Dog Door” Discovered on Mars?
| Answers in Genesis As the rover Curiosity explores our red neighbor Mars, many scientists and space buffs wait with bated breath for news that the planet held (or maybe even holds) life.
Happy Red Planet Day!
| Answers in Genesis Why did they pick November 28 as Red Planet Day? On November 28, 1964, NASA launched Mariner 4, the first successful space probe to visit the planet Mars.
More Ice on Mars?
| Answers in Genesis NASA’s Phoenix team has announced the possible discovery of more ice on Mars—so what’s the creation/evolution connection?
Gullies Posit Water on Mars
| Answers in Genesis The science hullabaloo this week is that liquid water may have recently flowed on Mars, according to one interpretation of recent photography from the late Mars Global Surveyor.
Mission to Mars
| Answers in Genesis For nearly two centuries, the planet Mars has captured the imagination of Earth-bound astronomers. The Red Planet displays intriguing features and ever-changing conditions.

Mars: Losing Face
| Answers in Genesis Now that NASA spacecraft have had a chance to take a closer look, the so-called 'Face on Mars' turns out to be just a play of light and shadow on an ordinary looking geological feature.

Sun
| Answers in Genesis The sun, a star situated the perfect distance from earth to supply needed heat and light, shows evidence of special design by a loving Creator.
Faint Sun Paradox
| Answers in Genesis Evidence now supports astronomers’ belief that the sun’s power comes from the fusion of hydrogen into helium deep in the sun’s core, but there is a huge problem.
Not Just Another Star
| Answers in Genesis Our sun is just a tiny yellow star in a vast collection that could support life. You’ll hear this more and more. Don’t believe it.
shining-right-away/1 page
Shining Right Away
| Answers in Genesis When God created the sun, it was shining right away—not because the photons had taken a long time to travel from the core, but because God made the sun hot!
is-sun-shrinking/1 page
Is the Sun Shrinking?
| Answers in Genesis Some biblical creationists have suggested the sun is shrinking, which is unlikely—but that still doesn't mean a nuclear-powered sun is billions of years old.
Our Sun Is Special
| Answers in Genesis We’ve all heard that our sun is just another boring yellow
star, but biblical creationists know better. God made it special
to support life on earth.
Rocket Science for the Glory of God!
| Answers in Genesis The purpose of this book is to give you a starting point in understanding rocket science from a biblical perspective and how to defend your faith in a currently secular space industry.
Rocket Science Confirms Biblical Creation
| Answers in Genesis Is rocket science purely secular, and should we just leave the Bible out of it? Obviously not. As briefly shown in this article, by starting our thinking with the Bible (i.e., through a biblical “lens”), we expect the universe to be organized and to consistently obey the natural laws that make rocket science possible.

2020 Hindsight: The Astronomy Year in Review
| Answers in Genesis Happy New Year! With COVID-19, 2020 was a weird year, a year many of us are glad to see go. Hopefully, 2021 will see the demise of COVID-19 and the many restrictions prompted by concerns about its spread, and so perhaps we soon can get back to normal.
Superhabitable Planets
| Answers in Genesis Astronomers have attempted to identify exoplanets likely to support life though their efforts have generated scant results so far.
Geocentrism: History and Background
| Answers in Genesis Like geocentrists of old, modern geocentrists are divided as to whether the earth rotates, but they are united in belief that the earth does not revolve. Modern geocentrists usually pursue two lines of arguments: scientific and biblical.
The Newest Finding on the Expansion of the Universe
| Answers in Genesis The latest measure of the Hubble constant (H0) recently made headlines. A team of collaborators found a value a bit larger than their previous measurement. Many people have questions about this new study, so Dr. Faulkner explains some of the technical details.
does-vatican-have-telescope-called-lucifer/1 page
Does the Vatican Have a Telescope Called LUCIFER?
| Answers in Genesis From time to time here at Answers in Genesis we get inquiries about a telescope called LUCIFER that the Vatican supposedly owns. This story has been circulating around the internet for nearly a decade. It certainly sounds shocking, so it’s no wonder why people ask us about this. Is there any truth to this rumor?
The Dubious Apologetics of Hugh Ross
| Answers in Genesis The astronomer Hugh Ross has had a great impact on many churches and individuals in recent years. But those who agree with his approach to Genesis should be embarrassed with the extent of his sloppy work.
How Old Is the Solar System?
| Answers in Genesis Dr. Faulkner examined 25 of the most popular models for the age of the solar system: some need to be discarded, others updated, and others refined.

How Big Is the Universe?
| Answers in Genesis I will address the question of whether the universe really is as big as is often claimed. The short answer is, yes, the universe most certainly is that large.
Helium Hydride: The First Molecule?
| Answers in Genesis Astronomers have thought that the conditions in planetary nebulae might be conducive to production of helium hydride, with temperatures and densities high enough to mimic the conditions during the first hundred-thousand years of the big bang universe
the-age-of-the-universe-part-1/1 page
The Age of the Universe, Part 1
| Answers in Genesis The Bible implicitly teaches us about the age of the universe. Why is it that so many scientists choose to ignore the recorded history of the Bible, and instead believe in a vastly inflated age of the universe?
the-age-of-the-universe-part-2/1 page
The Age of the Universe, Part 2
| Answers in Genesis Clearly, there are many evidences which are fully consistent with the biblical age of the universe and are difficult to reconcile with a belief in billions of years.

Astronomy and the Bible
| Answers in Genesis Scripture gives a refreshing contrast to secular thinking by declaring that earth and mankind are not an insignificant result of accidental evolution.
The Universe is Nothingness!

What's Up in 2019?
| Answers in Genesis What’s up in 2019? The year begins with a bang, for on the morning of January 1, the moon and Venus will be close together in the sky. Both rise about three hours before the sun. Look to the southeast before sunrise; Venus will be the bright star near the moon.
Apophis, Bible Prophesy, and the Year 2029
| Answers in Genesis The Apophis asteroid is scheduled to pass near earth on April 13, 2029. But is it the ‘Wormwood’ star that will fall from heaven according to Revelation? All evidence indicates that Apophis will miss the earth entirely. So, why are some people concerned that there will be an impact in 2029?
created-be-inhabited/1 page
Created to Be Inhabited
| Answers in Genesis The more astronomers discover, the more evidence they
seem to find that the earth occupies a special place in the
universe. Perhaps that’s because God created our part of the
universe especially for humans to inhabit.
Is the “Multiverse” Real?
| Answers in Genesis The concept of multiple universes springs from atheistic beliefs in cosmology in order to deny obvious design in the universe as understood through God's Word.

Is Gravity a Force?
| Answers in Genesis Flat-earth proponents aim to demote gravity as a force, but they fail to account for time-honored conventions in physics informed by relativity.
Quantum Weirdness
| Answers in Genesis There are many sub-categories of physics, each dealing with a particular aspect of the universe. The branch of physics dealing with how the universe operates at very small scales – interactions involving particles smaller than atoms – is called quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is weird.
The First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics and the Origin of the Universe
| Answers in Genesis Consideration of the first and second laws of thermodynamics in the past leads to the conclusion that the universe’s origin is a metaphysical or spiritual question, not a physical one. Therefore, using science, we can conclude the origin of the universe is not a question that science is equipped to answer on its own.
Einstein Wins Again
| Answers in Genesis In September 2011, researchers in Italy caused consternation among physicists worldwide when they claimed to detect neutrinos traveling faster than light.
Laws of Physics, Jim
| Answers in Genesis The laws of physics are fine-tuned for life, exactly what we would expect if the universe were intelligently designed. So what’s the latest atheistic rebuttal?
Gravity
| Answers in Genesis It would seem that this everyday gravity force should be one of the best understood concepts in science. However, just the opposite is true.

Ken Ham Legacy Conference - Williamstown, KY
| Answers in Genesis 'In 1975, Ken Ham gave his first creation apologetics presentation at Dalby Baptist Church in Queensland, Australia. In celebration of 50 years of ministry and all the Lord has done, we’re hosting a special three-day Legacy Conference featuring Ken’s eight classic presentations.
Discover the message God placed as a “fire in his bones” half a century ago—a message that hasn’t changed because God’s Word doesn’t change. The foundational message of biblical authority and the truth of God’s Word that inspired this ministry is still the message Ken Ham, Answers in Genesis, the Creation Museum, and the Ark Encounter proclaim today.
Don’t miss this special celebration that was 50 years in the making! Hear Ken cover a host of topics, including:
The authority of God’s Word
The importance and relevance of Genesis
What a biblical worldview is and why it matters
How to live in today’s culture
And more!
This three-day event will help you stand firm on the truth and authority of God’s

Answers for Pastors & Leaders Conference 2025 - Williamstown, KY
| Answers in Genesis 'Faith like Noah: Upholding Truth in a Wicked World
In Genesis 6, we read about the rank wickedness of mankind—it was so bad that “every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5). While our culture hasn’t yet reached that level of evil, we’re certainly living in times that allow us to sympathize with Noah. We’re surrounded by wickedness, evil is promoted as good, and the righteous are scoffed at and despised. And yet, in all the wickedness of Noah’s day, “Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 6:8).
Noah found favor because he was faithful and obedient, despite the culture of the day. And God asks the same of us; will we remain faithful, holding onto truth, contending for the faith until Jesus comes again or we’re called home?
Discover practical answers for you and your congregation to help you stand with faithfulness and obedience, no matter the temptation to compromise, stay silent, or reject God’s truth at our 2025 Answers for Pastors and Leaders c

Astronaut Encounter - Williamstown, KY
| Answers in Genesis 'Meet three generations of astronauts!
Creation glorifies God, and space is no exception. The psalmist wrote that day after day, the heavens declare God’s glory. Few of us will ever see God’s wonders from space, but during a unique one-day event at the Ark Encounter, you can meet three men who give God glory for seeing his handiwork from a vantage point that’s out of this world!
Hear from three of America’s astronaut heroes:
Captain Barry Wilmore, who piloted Boeing’s Starliner to the ISS last June
Colonel Jeffrey Williams, US record holder for the most time in space
Charlie Duke, the last living man to have walked on the moon
You’ll also hear from Ken Ham and explore some of God’s handiwork for yourself by sun spotting with astronomer Dr. Danny Faulkner (weather dependent). Registration includes a two-day Ark Encounter ticket.
Upgrade your experience to enjoy a delicious dinner (it won’t be astronaut food!) with the astronauts in the evening.
