There is a war being fought in our culture — a ware between two worldviews. One view is based on a biblical understanding of history, the other on pure naturalism. We witness the battles and skirmishes in our schools, our courts, and our homes. All around us are casualties of the warfare — Christians taken captive by an evolutionary philosophy. From science class to world history, for The Learning Channel to SpongeBob, subtle and not-so-subtle evolutionary messages bombard us. The idea of the big bang and millions of years has duped many Christians, and the effects include a weakened gospel and subjective morality. How are we to respond when we hear of the latest “argument” for evolution? How can we prepare our children to face the evolutionary indoctrination of our public schools and universities? What are we to make of “Christian” organizations that teach the big bang and millions of years? In this powerful new book from Answers in Genesis, you will find ammunition for the Answers to some of the most common arguments for evolution, analyses of Christian compromise positions and a call for a return to biblical authority.
Dr. Ken Ham is the president of Answers in Genesis USA and is a well-known speaker and author on the subject of Young-Earth Creationism. He received a bachelor degree in applied science (emphasis on environmental biology) from the Queensland Institute of Technology, and a Diploma of Education from the University of Queensland. He has also received two honorary doctorates: a Doctor of Divinity from Temple Baptist College, and a Doctor of Literature from Baptist Liberty University.
He was a director of Creation Science Foundation (CSF) in Australia, an organization which he jointly founded with John Mackay. In 1987 he moved to the United States, still maintaining his links with CSF.
From 1987 to 1993, Ham worked for the Institute for Creation Research, and in 1994 set up what in 1995 became Answers in Genesis (AiG), a creation ministry dedicated to "upholding the authority of the Bible from the very first verse."
In 2008 Ham was described by well known atheist and evolutionary biologist PZ Myers as a "Wackaloon" for carrying out a prayer session with members of the Pentagon. Ham responded regarding the validity of that prayer breakfastand that PZ Myers and other critics were intolerant of his position.
It helps to read some of the science, and how observational science is done by creationists as well as evolutionists, as well as some of the moral and ethical things the Bible talks about.
