From 1997 to 1999, I read all the Creation Magazines and the back copies prior to the name change to "Answers in Genesis". The answers I found in those magazines to the questions going around in my mind seemed much more credible than what the evolutionists were presenting. With this foundation, in April 2000, I was baptized and received the Holy Ghost. Almost 24 years later, I still enjoy listening to Ken Ham and the "Answers in Genesis" as a born-again Christian, walking on in the Lord. 🎉Congratulations Martin Iles

@@Moist._Robot , there are many reasons to believe the Holy Bible, consisting of 66 books today, is indeed the word of God. I will name just a few as I do not believe the KZbin comment section could hold them all. 1. Jesus told us which books were the word of God. Jesus affirmed the Apostles and commanded we accept their teachings. We may question Paul's authority, but the other Apostles after much debate and discernment accepted Paul's authority. You may ask how or why would we trust Jesus? Well, he is the only human to rise from the dead at this point in history and stay alive for almost 2,000 years now. 2. The Apostles died horrible deaths to defend their belief that Jesus rose from the dead. At the crucification, the disciples were cowards. They ran and hid afraid of the authorities. So, what happened to change them into the courageous men we see in Scripture and secular writings from that time? They really saw the risen Christ and were given the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Read Acts 1-8 to see the power given by the Holy Spirit to the Apostles. 3. The Bible perfectly describes the human experience. The Bible has been scrutinized for thousands of years and stands firm today. The sin nature of man described in the pages of Scripture starting in Genesis perfectly displays the illness of man mucking up the world we live in. Thankfully, among the Bible's display of sinful man, it reveals a loving, merciful God willing to forgive and heal us. It even tells us how He rescues us, by the sacrifice of God Himself in human flesh, known as Jesus Christ to English speakers. God has preserved His word through generations and lovingly provides us with enough evidence to know He alone is God worthy to be praised. 4. The Bible was written over a period of approximately 1500 years by about 40 different individuals from different times amd places. Though this is true, the Bible has a consistent message throughout all books. How can that be? The Bible was written by different men, but they were all inspired to write the words by the same Holy Spirit, the same God gave the words to write (2 Timothy 3:16-17). If we can trust anyone, it is God we can and should trust. In conclusion, we can know the Bible is the word of God because God Himself came to earth in human form, demonstrated His power and love by dying on a cross and rising again in glory on the 3rd day. Not only that, but the ones who were eyewitness to this glory were dramatically changed and stayed faithful to the claim unto death. Oh, and 5. The same Holy Spirit who inspired Scripture and revealed all things to the new testament writers is still working today. God promised to change our hearts in the old testament and He does. If we are humble and seek His face, He is faithful to keep all promises contained in the Scriptures. He will give you His desires and then give you all the desires of your heart, because your desires are His desires. How blessed we are to have such an opportunity. All praise and glory to The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

@@Moist._Robot , that is not what I said at all, and you know it. Outside of the Bible is more evidence of God's existence. Creation and order are the top evidence for a god of any sort. I will pray that your hard heart is softened and you may see what is evident to others. Your scripted responses are spewed from many others. They are tired and worn.

@newcreationinchrist1423 Yes, of course I have. In a country where many people are Christians, I have stopped to wonder if I'm wrong. But you know, nobody has the answer to where we came from. So many people claim that their religion is the truth and that everybody has to follow what they believe. If you take a step back from your religion, I think you will realize that religion is just a way to control and scam people. Men use the Bible to keep women in the kitchen and to serve the man, not to speak up and to know their place. Meanwhile, men really get to do whatever they want to do. Religion hinders development. I don't believe in god, but I don't think anybody is wrong to believe in a god(s) of what they want. It's religion that is the problem. Think about what AIG has been teaching and really be honest with YOURSELF, not the Bible, if what they are teaching is harmful. Christians like to say that they have morals because of their religion, but if you are honest, their morals have some good, but some are really bad and evil and they are too prideful to see it. Evolution has a lot of evidence. AIG knows this, and if their followers see the evidence, then they will know that it contradicts the Bible, and then people might start thinking for themselves and realize the Bible is inconsistent. Just be honest with yourself, man. AIG is propaganda

​@@katamas832 Well to start, science confirms you cannot EVER get something from nothing, kinda puts a thorn in evolutionary theory out the gate. If you look at everything closely you can see creation, it screams creator of some sort, I believe it is God. Down to energy and the smallest particles vibrating with an unknown energy, which the bible explains as how God holds everything together. If you prefer science, check out The Mandelbrot Set. If you take time to learn on your own, evolution will seem such a far fetched theory that it is! Simple truth from observable science, if evolution were remotely true we would see an overwhelming account of that in the fossil record, but that is NOT at all what is found! The proof is there many just don't want to accept it, n will go with any other option no matter how ridiculous. That isn't a very scientific mindset. Evolution has no solid science at all to back it up, just fueled by theory, belief, n a rejection of the idea of GOD!

@@kennethkincaid1522 »the Answers in Genesis ministry began and grew into what it is today, » Churches and religious organizations are generally exempt from income tax and receive other favorable treatment under the tax law. The entire televangelist ministry is built on the model of scamming money out of gullible parishioners. a few examples of : 1) preachers who promote the idea that if you give money to the church or to a particular televangelist, you will be rewarded with financial blessings from god. However, in reality, these preachers may be using the money for personal gain. 2) televangelists claim to have the power to heal illnesses or other physical ailments, and may ask their followers for money in exchange for a "miracle cure". However, there is often no scientific basis for these claims, and the televangelist may be taking advantage of vulnerable people who are desperate for a cure. 3)televangelists may claim to have received a message from God about a future event, and may ask their followers for money in order to prepare for this event. However, these prophecies are often vague or incorrect, and the televangelist may be using fear tactics to manipulate their followers into giving them money. 4)televangelists may ask for donations to support a particular cause or ministry, but then use the money for personal expenses or to fund an extravagant lifestyle. televangelists are a different because of the tax free status of churches, they can travel the world first class on church assets and live in the church owned mega mansions. While they’re often paid handsomely, a lot of the “compensation” is in the form of these perks. For example, a few years ago the aptly named Pastor Creflo Dollar asked his flock to buy him a $65 million dollar Gulfstream G60 jet. You know, for church business. As one does. And they hire their family members, also at lavish salaries and lavish perks. Looking at you Gloria Copeland. Gloria’s husband Kenneth Copeland, Jim Bakker, Jesse Duplantis and anyone you’ve ever seen on TBN fit this conman profile perfectly. They prey on the troubled, sick and poor. FROM QUORA

Aron Ra alone tells us all about your sources, and the agenda. Satan is your source, and his evolutionary timeline of "deep time", is one of the biggest lies ever produced. WP: "The standard Akkadian Epic of Gilgamesh was composed by a scribe named Sîn-lēqi-unninni, probably during the Middle Babylonian Period (c. 1600 - c. 1155 BC), based on much older source material." While the recent findings have shown that the Hebrew script has been around at 1500BC. (the "curse tablets") And from the distortion (corruption) of the cuneiform iterations we can deduce that the Bible still holds the oldest source position.

@@i7Qp4rQ *Aron Ra alone tells us all about your sources, and the agenda.* In short, you focus on a single source that merely adds to the dogpile showing that no, a literal reading of Genesis does _not_ agree with evident reality. And in so doing, you basically admit that you've got nothing to actually address any of what he said. "He used a source I know about and hate! Now I can dismiss it all out of hand!" That's basically what you've done, dude. *Satan is your source,* I swear, it's like y'all seriously can't keep your hate-b0ner for Satan out of anything; the _instant_ it disagrees with whatever specific interpretation you've got for your theology, it automatically becomes "of the Devil." Just because something rejects your preferred beliefs doesn't mean it secretly agrees and is just working with "the Enemy." That's literally the same sort of tribalistic nonsense that'd be used to demonize outsiders enough to wanna go out and kill them all- oh wait that's something the Bible _already_ has happen, in story _and_ in real life. *While the recent findings have shown that the Hebrew script has been around at 1500BC. (the "curse tablets")* You mean a single postage stamp-sized lead square that could just as easily (if not more so, mind you) have been a weathered fishing weight. *And from the distortion (corruption) of the cuneiform iterations we can deduce that the Bible still holds the oldest source position.* Why do I get the feeling that you base your claims of "distortion" entirely on how far these stray from biblical narratives and scripts.

It's amazing how Ken became a science teacher and yet never noticed the conflict between his Bible stories and the scientific method of discerning truth until he overheard his high school students discussing it. Apparently his students possessed critical thinking which God failed to provide when he created Ken's brain.

Why do you so ignorantly assume the Supernatural HAS to follow physical laws?? Prove that the physical IS ABSOLUTELY 100% ALL THERE IS. Physical onlyism is a position of faith, without verfiable evidence.

@@Chris_144_ What Bible do you read? Do I have the right Old Testament? 🤨 The same Old Testament that Jesus often quotes, in which are the same laws that Jesus said he would not do away with? 🧐 I couldn’t care less what you think about Paul, but his letters and dogmas are right there in the New Testament. 📖 Where I’m from, the Bible is taken at face value as the inerrant and inspired word of God. I don’t know what your dogma says about the trinity and the validity of scripture as the divinely inspired word of any deity, but do you only support this claim with “love your neighbor as yourself”? As in, this applies to child abusers and genocidal maniacs and other vile, heinous people too? That’s quite the love Jesus has for the gays, especially considering under the law that Jesus says he wouldn’t abolish, homosexual acts would be punished by death. At least, that’s what it says in my Bible. Maybe we should switch all Bibles in the world with your version, and save the victims of colonialism in the third world from the disgusting dogma that was spread there.

it is funny that all religions use what suits them and fail to keep God's name holy, Jehovah. joh 17:3 This means eternal life, that they come to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. 4 I have glorified you on earth, having completed the work you have given me to do. 5 So now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory that I had at your side before the world was. 6 "I have revealed your name* to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Mat 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me: 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day: 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many mighty works in your name?' 23 And then I will proclaim to them: 'I never knew you! Away from me, you workers of lawlessness!
