If you go through all of them, notice how very few hold credentials in say...advanced Biology!

"H.R., At Risk Youth Program Director / Artist —"Answers in Genesis" is an indespensable asset to both my students as well as my family. The unbiased and focused opinions as well as detailed clear referenced research proposed by this organization, is both sound and future-minded in scope. In terms of the preservation and support of our nations youth, AiG is not only supplying solid answers of the biological past, but also responsible sound perspectives for this generation's future. My students are all ward-of-the-court recipients, children with a tough histories and backgrounds. I have serviced thousands throughout these last thirteen years as a teacher and program director. The most incredible phase of contact is not when we finally circumvent all the initial filters and relationship problems to get to the basic respect level needed for creative studies, rather, it is when they are first made aware of their origins, design, purpose and possibilities in life as a "God imaged wonderful human being" and NOT an "accidental animalistic purposeless dispensable variable composite". Their eyes take on a whole new glimmer. Thank you AiG for your established biblical principles, vision and scope of endurance* Best wishes, don't stop!"


S.C., Pastor, BS InfoSystems, 1/2 of a Master in Religion from Liberty Univ.—My family(8 of us)had been waiting for nearly two years to attend the Creation Museam. We were concerned our expectations had grown to a level that would almost guarantee disappointment. At the first opportunity we planned our "Creation Vacation" with AIG as our prime destination. We were absolutly blown away. The exibits were beyond anything we could have imagined and its overall design and message we extraordinary. Our favorite exibit was the Adam and Eve, Garden scene. It was the first time I believe I realized just how much we lost. I am not usually that emotional but I cried when I saw the picture of them walking away in the mist holding hands, amazing! We spent two days at the museaum and on the way home the kids were already asking when we could return. The biggest dissappointment my family had was they didn't get to see Ken Ham. I thought it funny, while most kids would get excited about music stars or TV personalities my children have put Ken Ham at the top of their must see list. I can only thank my God in Heaven for that miricle. Continued Blessings, Pastor Scott Cosper & Family Charter Members Creation Museam I am the pastor of FBC of Shelby, Al and our family has an apologetics ministry we just started called, "Eyes Wide Open". We will be teaching some of the AIG curriculum this fall and I plan on speaking of some of the local churches in Sept. Numbers 24:16

C.H., Forester now seahorse/fish breeder (Bsc (Forestry) and MSc (botany) —As a forester for 15 years I worked closely with scientists in many disciplines. Evolution, while regularly mentioned, was completely irrelevant to the daily application of science and research in the field of forest management. It is a tack-on, a less-than-satisfactory way of attempting to explain some of the underlying processes operating in the natural world. Now as a seahorse breeder for the ornamental fish trade, I work with one of God's most amazing creatures. I see that domestic selection reduces genetic diversity and reflects that (contrary to Darwin's concludion) natural selection can onbly specialise and reduce genetic diversity not lead to evolution.

S.K., CFO, with Master of Accounting degree. 2 years attendance at MIT. —I am a part-time chemistry teacher in a Christian cottage school (a tutorial school for homeschoolers). The rest of the time I am CFO of a medium sized manufacturing firm. I make it a priority to take time to teach the next generation, especially about science. 1) There is no reason why atheists and agnostics should be allowed to award themselves an exclusive patent on "Science". This is simply a rhetorical position designed to avoid serious debate on the issues. There are many great creationist scientists of the past and present. 2) Science is all about investigation of reality. Our students deserve to learn about ALL sides of scientific issues, not just the proclaimed orthodoxy. The age of the earth and the origin of life are prime examples. Controlling access to information and censoring opponents ideas are simply methods of indoctrination, not worthy of American education. 3)Science originated as a study of physical phenomena in the PRESENT. That is it's true forte. Science cannot directly investigate the past. However, since the days of Lyell and Darwin, atheist scientists have attempted to use the prestige of "Science" to control what is believed about the past. Creationist scientists rightly recognize that our knowledge of the past comes primarily from history, not from the laboratory."

An artist, a pastor (with half a masters from Liberty University!), an accountant and a fish breeder. Fantastic. I know I'm convinced!
