Setting the Record Straight on Marriage and Divorce in the Church

Over the past year, a few times in secular media interviews I've done, it was thrown in my face that divorce rates among Christians were higher than non-Christians, so obviously Christianity doesn't help marriage. I have read such statements in newspapers and other media sources.

Recently, one of our Answers in Genesis board members, who is an attorney, read a similar accusation in a newspaper—so, he decided to research this topic more thoroughly, checking original sources to correctly...

Evolution Debate

Pastor Jay Lucas, the debate's organizer, shared the following with us:

Writer for Calvin College Newspaper Lashes out at Answers in Genesis

The Chimes is a weekly student newspaper of Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In the February 26, Volume 104, Issue 20 edition, a guest writer (Daniel Camacho), presumably a student at Calvin College, lashed out at me for AiG's recent "State of the Nation 2" address that I presented. Among many accusations, he accuses me of numerous "lies."

Now, I am used to being accused of lying by many secular humanists and atheists. After all, for those people who do not believe in an absolute ...

More Answers

Answers in Genesis's The New Answers Book 1 and The New Answers Book 2 have become the biggest-selling creation apologetics books in the world. The original Answers Book came out of my experience in Australia, finding as I spoke in churches that people tended to ask the same basic questions over and over again. As a result I developed a magazine-style book with answers to many of these questions. And over time, this "evolved" into a book that eventually became the The New Answers Book 1.

Watch the "I Am Not Ashamed" Video Now

The "I am not ashamed" campaign has been launched. Watch for advertisements in USA Today, on Fox News, MSNBC, and others to come. There is a billboard campaign and other newspaper and magazine advertisements.

Also, a big part of this campaign is to produce the world's first online video Bible. You can be a part of this. We are encouraging people to get their family and friends together so that 8,000 people (adults and children) will read four verses of Scripture each to produce the world's f...

I Am Not Ashamed in USA Today

The first of a series of three advertisements appeared in yesterday's largest U.S. newspaper to announce the launch of the "I am not ashamed" campaign. We have had previous blog posts and articles about this campaign on our website. The concept is to let the Bible speak for itself and call on Christians in America to be more bold in standing up for God's Word. The advertisement yesterday read:

The Bible speaks for itself on marriage—God made them male and female, Mark 10:6.

People were then ...

When Compromise Meets Compromise

We have certainly observed in recent times that those in the Christian community who compromise God's Word in Genesis with the secular beliefs of the day (e.g., big bang, billions of years, death and disease before man, no global Flood, etc.) have become more aggressive in trying to influence the church and church leadership to compromise. It is this very compromise that has significantly contributed to the undermining of the authority of the Word of God and the collapse of the Christian...
