Our Organization

Ken resigned from ICR. Mark Looy and Mike Zovath joined Ken, and the three founded a new organization that was initially called Creation Science Ministries (CSM) but later that year changed to “Answers in Genesis.”

Then-AiG board member Carl Kerby designed and launched the AiG website.

The AnswersInGenesis.org website received the prestigious “Best Ministry Website” award from the National Religious Broadcasters. Answers magazine first debuted in the summer.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the grand opening of the Creation Museum was held, with the museum officially opening to the public on May 28.

Seven million viewers watched a live stream debate between Bill Nye “the Science Guy” and AiG’s Ken Ham. One of the best-preserved allosaur skulls joined the dinosaur exhibits in the museum. Kentucky officials rejected AiG’s Ark Encounter application.

The Ark Encounter, the largest timber-frame structure in the world, opened to the public. Bill Nye toured the Ark with Ken Ham, and their spirited 2014 debate resumed (sometimes called the “Second Nye/Ham debate”) as they walked with Nye’s film crew in tow.

The Creation Museum opened the new 3 C’s exhibit (Christ, Cross, Consummation). AiG opened international offices in Mexico (to serve Latin America), Australia, and Canada. Replacing Darwin: The New Origin of Species by AiG’s Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson was released.

The Ark and museum were closed (March 17–June 7). AiG launched a video-streaming platform, Answers TV. Truth Traveler, a virtual reality experience, opened at the Ark Encounter. Fearfully and Wonderfully Made opened at the Creation Museum.

ABC Homeschool and Ken Ham’s book Divided Nation were released. AiG and Abraham Productions debuted the world’s largest Christian music event—40 Days and 40 Nights of Gospel Music at the Ark. AiG mourned the loss of Patrick Marsh and Dr. David Menton.

Ken Ham released his new book Divine Dilemma.
