'''Answers in Genesis''' ('''AiG''') is an American [[christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist]] [[Christian apologetics]] [[parachurch organization]]. It advocates [[young Earth creationism]] on the basis of its [[Biblical literalism|literal]], [[Historical-grammatical method|historical-grammatical]] interpretation of the [[Book of Genesis]] and the Bible as a whole. Out of belief in [[biblical inerrancy]], it rejects the results of [[Scientific method|scientific investigation]]s that contradict their view of the [[Genesis creation narrative]] and instead supports [[creation science]]. The organization sees [[evolution]] as incompatible with the Bible and believes anything other than the young Earth view is a compromise on the principle of [[biblical inerrancy]]. |

AiG began as the Creation Science Foundation in 1980, following the merger of two Australian creationist groups. Its name changed to Answers in Genesis in 1994, when [[Ken Ham]] founded its United States branch. In 2006, the branches in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa split from the US and UK to form [[Creation Ministries International]]. In 2007, AiG opened the [[Creation Museum]], a facility that promotes young-Earth creationism, and in 2016, the organization opened the [[Ark Encounter]], a [[Noah's Ark]]-themed amusement park. AiG also publishes websites, magazines, journals, and a streaming service, and its employees have published books. |
