The Source of Our Identity

What is so wrong about the knowledge of good and evil?

AiG Executive CEO Martyn Iles responds to one of the first questions many have when reading the Bible:

That is what I often used to wonder when I read the account of Genesis 2 and 3, where God forbade Adam and Eve from eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, or they would die (Genesis 2:17).

It was even more confusing when I realized Adam and Eve must have already known something about good and evil because they could m...

Daniel: It���s the Message We Need in 2024

When Martyn Iles and I have an event together���such as our upcoming free one-day conference at Cedarville University���we usually title it Living in Babylon. Why? Well, just as Daniel and his friends entered a new world filled with paganism and were commanded to compromise truth with a false religion (but didn���t!), so Christians are finding themselves now. The West is quickly becoming a ���Babylon������and we need generations who are prepared and equipped to stand, no matter the consequences...

A Christian Ministry Saddened by Pro-Lifers, Not Abortion?

As a believer in Jesus Christ, which ���saddens��� you more: considering the millions of lives lost to abortion or having a display humanizing the unborn set up outside your church? Well, if you���re confused (for good reason!) why that���s even a question, let me share a recent news story from the UK with you.

According to the report from a UK newspaper, a pro-life group called Brephos (named for the Greek word for baby or infant used in the New Testament) set up a large pro-life display in the...

Remembering Buddy Davis: The Testimonies Just Keep Coming!

On Wednesday morning, we made the sad announcement that my dear friend and Answers in Genesis colleague, a man beloved by everyone here at the ministry, Buddy Davis had gone home to be with the Lord after a three-year battle with various medical issues. In that announcement, I shared that his legacy will live on���and the many (many!) comments on social media under that post (and others) highlighted exactly that.

Pete Buttigieg: Access to Abortion Makes Men ���More Free���

According to a 2013 study, 31% of post-abortive US women chose to have an abortion���chose to kill their unborn child���for ���partner related reasons.��� Because either the father of the child was not supportive, was not married to the mother, was abusive, was the ���wrong guy,��� or did not want the baby, 205,974 unborn children lost their lives in the year of the study. Let that sink in: over 200,000 children���and those are just the numbers we know about (many medicated abortions or ���Plan ...

Here���s what the zookeepers shared with me about these new additions:

My Dear Friend, Buddy Davis, Is Now Home with the Lord

���Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints��� (Psalm 116:15).


���For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain��� (Philippians 1:21).

I���d heard about Buddy over the years while living in Australia because we���d had a few articles in our magazine featuring this guy from America who sculpted dinosaurs an...
