Clay Kraby: Well, Ken Ham, thank you so much for joining me on the podcast.

Ken Ham: Hey, it’s a pleasure to be with you.

Clay Kraby: You know, I’ve benefited a lot from Answers in Genesis and your books. My family and I took a trip out to see the Ark and the Creation Museum a couple of summers back. So I greatly appreciate the opportunity to talk with you about your new book. But for those who might not be as familiar, could you share a little bit about what your mission at Answers in Genesis is and what the work of the Creation Museum and the Ark is all about?

Ken Ham: Well, we really would say we’re a biblical authority ministry that also specializes in apologetics, and we’re very evangelistic. We actually teach people to think foundationally from God’s Word, to have a biblical worldview. We equip them with answers for the secular attacks of our day—that’s the apologetics aspect—and we point them to the truth of God’s Word and the saving Gospel.

And, you know, we’re called Answers in Genesis because the answers will always be in Genesis, because Genesis 1–11 is the foundation for everything. There’s nothing it’s not the foundation for. It’s the foundation for the rest of the Bible, for all of our doctrine. It’s the foundation for everything, for our biblical worldview.

As a ministry, I mean, it really started 50 years ago. In fact, this year is the 50th anniversary of when I gave my first-ever creation apologetics talk. And so it really began as an apologetics ministry to deal with the creation-evolution issue, and particularly, the way in which evolution was stopping people believing God’s Word. It was undermining the authority of the Word of God and causing Christians to doubt Genesis.

And that’s sort of how it all started to come about. But over the years, it’s matured a lot. And of course, our major emphasis is the authority of the Word of God, standing on God’s Word without compromise and helping people understand. If you want to deal with any issue in the culture—you know, for instance, you think of the cultural issues today: abortion, gay marriage, the gender issues, euthanasia, and they just go on and on, racism, and so on—you have to start from Genesis 1–11. Because once you do that, then you know what you believe as a Christian, why we believe what we do, and then we need to focus on why others have the wrong foundation of man’s word. And only then can you start to deal with their wrong secular worldview.

So we’re a creation apologetics, biblical authority, evangelistic ministry to point people to the gospel.
