fighting-for-truth/1 page
Fighting for Truth | Answers in Genesis Who would have thought that people claiming to be Christians—even pastors—would attack the very notion of truth? But they are. But they are. Emerging church members claim to believe in the God of the Bible, yet still they say they are comfortably uncertain about what is true.
inerrancy-and-test-truth/1 page
Inerrancy and the Test of Truth | Answers in Genesis The doctrine of the inerrancy of Scripture is one of Christianity’s most important doctrines to be defended. Let’s define the foundational concept of truth, review the case for the truthfulness (inerrancy) of Scripture, and then discuss how the Bible passes the “test of truth” even down to the details of its claims.
Embarrassed by the Bible | Answers in Genesis When people ask why we believe what we do, many are hesitant to quote the Bible.
After all, few people believe the Bible, and many parts are hard to explain.

not-just-a-container-of-truth/1 page [+1 in 1 subfolder]
Not Just a Container of Truth | Answers in Genesis “The Bible contains truth,” we often hear. But what do such words really mean? Behind them is a flawed view of biblical authority, with deadly consequences.
A Low View of Scripture | Answers in Genesis One of the major problems in the church today is that Christian leaders (and Christians in general) have been conditioned to treat God’s Holy Word as a fallible human work.

Theory of Evolution | Answers in Genesis Biological evolution: is it a scientific fact, a theory, or just a hypothesis? How does this model of origins hold up under careful scientific scrutiny?
Millions of Years—Are Souls at Stake? | Answers in Genesis When creationists take a strong stand that God created the earth six thousand years ago, they’re often accused of making this a salvation issue. Well, it isn’t a salvation issue—but it is!
Suspicious of “Majority” | Answers in Genesis Over the years, I’ve had many Christians use much of the argument that we need to trust the majority when it comes to evolution and millions of years.
The “Disease” of Millions of Years | Answers in Genesis The idea of millions of years is like a disease, and biological evolution is like the symptom. Many Christians are willing to deal with the “symptom,” but not the “disease.”
Would Planes Sink into Ice? | Answers in Genesis Recalling the common school experiment in which a wire tensioned with weights ‘sinks’ through a block of ice, some wondered whether the planes could have sunk to that depth.
Molecular Clock | Answers in Genesis Do studies that use mutation rates to calibrate a “molecular clock” confirm or deny the evolutionary model? Are the assumptions in such calibrations correct?
SIV in Present Form | Answers in Genesis A new study of the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV), a virus infecting “almost all African monkeys” but not sickening them, has led to speculation about how long the virus has been around in its present form.
Feedback: Observed Evolution | Answers in Genesis A recent tweet directed at Ken Ham made a frequent evolutionary assertion: “Evolution has been directly observed both in the lab and in the field. If you had done any research whatsoever, you would know this.” The commenter then linked to a couple of studies, which he claimed proved his point.
evidence/1 page [+45 in 45 subfolders]
Evidence of Evolution | Answers in Genesis Evolution is often presented as a fact proven by science. If this is true, there should be mountains of evidence supporting evolution—but is there?
“Common Design Means Common Ancestry” | Answers in Genesis The argument “common design means common ancestry” falsely claims to prove an untenable assumption about the past (i.e., all life forms from a common ancestor) by pointing out similar body plans in organisms today. Evolutionists claim common design as evidence of evolution.
Dawkins' Crusade | Answers in Genesis Although we frequently decline to comment when individuals inveigh against creationists (especially because such comments are often redundant and misinformed), we can hardly help but respond to vocal atheist (and anti-creationist) Richard Dawkins.
Mission Minded | Answers in Genesis Recently well known paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey predicted that as more evidence for evolution is uncovered, doubters will ultimately accept it.

evolution-of-a-phantom/1 page
Evolution of a Phantom | Answers in Genesis A whole age of scientific endeavour was wasted searching for a phantom. It is time we stopped and looked at the facts. Natural sciences failed to supply any evidence for evolution.
Evolution in Schools | Answers in Genesis Instead of being an open platform where students can critically discuss the merits and flaws of a scientific model, education is overcome by evolutionary dogma.
Evolution as Philosophy | Answers in Genesis Why in our sophisticated and technically advanced culture should a significant group of secularly educated Christians be in rebellion against the teaching of evolution?
Presuppositions in the Classroom | Answers in Genesis The point that should concern Christian parents and teachers is that only one worldview—a secular evolutionary worldview—is taught as if it were established fact.
School: A Battleground? | Answers in Genesis Public school is a battleground, warring for the hearts and minds of our children. How should Christian parents equip their children for this fierce battle?
Are YOU Evolutionized? | Answers in Genesis Evolution can become so ingrained in our thinking that we don’t even notice it. Our government schools and universities are entrenched in evolution.
The Genesis Nemesis | Answers in Genesis The National Center for Science Education sounds as if the organization is serving the noble purpose of promoting science education. But the group’s ostensibly positive name (and that it is “for” something) obscures the fact that the very mission of the NCSE is actually a highly negative one: to aggressively counter the creationist and intelligent design movements.

Taking the BBC's Evolution Test | Answers in Genesis The BBC put a “Quiz: Test your knowledge of evolution” on their website. The reason for it is that the BBC believes there are still many misconceptions about it amongst people. The quiz involved seven questions that had to be answered true or false. So, let’s take the quiz and test the BBC’s understanding of evolution.
its-here-so-it-must-have-evolved/1 page
“It’s Here, so It Must Have Evolved.” | Answers in Genesis A conclusion does not prove the premises are true. That is, if the answer is “four,” we could arrive at that any number of ways: 2 + 2, 5 - 1, etc. In the same way, evolutionists often assume that since certain species or traits exist, this is proof of evolution because that’s how it must have happened.
“Doubting Evolution Is like Doubting Gravity.” | Answers in Genesis Only the biblical worldview can support the uniformity of nature, without which the practice of science would be impossible. The fundamental laws of nature operate consistently through time and space because the omnipotent, immutable Creator ordained them and is upholding the cosmos by his power.

12 Arguments Evolutionists Should Avoid | Answers in Genesis For years, we’ve maintained a list of arguments creationists should avoid.

Wolves—Strength of the Pack | Answers in Genesis The strength of a wolf pack isn’t its numbers or the fear it inspires. Since sometime after Adam’s fall into sin, that howl has signaled danger to mankind, so it makes sense that wolves would often be the bad guys in fables and legends.Human beings have been fascinated with wolves for thousands of years.

Animal Olympics | Answers in Genesis While these animal “athletes” don’t win medals, they do set the gold standard of the animal world.

Battle of the Sexes or Designed Lizard Niches? | Answers in Genesis Researchers found that sexual size dimorphism may be limiting South American lizards’ speciation. Males and females of the same species may be filling ecological niches usually filled by separate species. Is this an example of evolution in action or a designed adaptive feature input into the lizard kind’s genome?
Interspecific Adoption: Can Evolution Explain Altruism in Animals? | Answers in Genesis Evolutionists have serious problems with interspecific animal adoptions, something many of them recognize. Creationists are in a much better position when it comes to discussing animal adoptions. While this cannot be argued dogmatically, incredible adoptions could point back to the original design.
