37% of Americans Say God Created Humans in Their Present Form

Now, of course, starting with the Bible, we do not agree that God used evolution to create mankind (or anything else), but that statistic is still very intriguing and significant—no other Western nation has such a high percentage of creationists. So what makes America so unique?

Well, I have a hypothesis—and I share it in the 10-minute video below. I encourage you to check it out.

Yes, I do believe the modern creation movement has had a big impact on this nation (and other nations too!). We praise God for the work He’s done through the proclamation of His Word.

When a college teaches students to start with God’s Word as the authority and equips them to answer the skeptical questions of our day, it makes a huge difference.

The minority—and, sadly, it is a minority—of Christian colleges that stand on the authority of Scripture from the very first verse have also had an impact on this nation. When a college teaches students to start with God’s Word as the authority and equips them to answer the skeptical questions of our day, it makes a huge difference. And one such school is Appalachian Bible College, one of our longtime college partners (I’ve spoken there many times over the years).

ABC emphasizes the sufficiency of the Word of God in all areas of life—a value that’s reflected in the classroom, where the Bible is the foundation of every course taught. And to further their mission of equipping men and women to serve the Lord, they even provide a scholarship that covers 100% of tuition for qualifying first-time, full-time residential students.

You can learn more about this great school, located in West Virginia, at their website or by visiting their booth at our upcoming, free (for registered students), and popular Creation College Expo at the Ark Encounter, November 5–7, 2026.

This event allows you to meet one-on-one with school representatives to learn about prospective colleges—all of whom have been vetted by Answers in Genesis (though, of course, you must do your due diligence as well). Your student will also hear teaching from myself, astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore, Dr. Calvin Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, and AiG’s Avery Foley and Bryan Osborne—along with live concerts, a drama presentation of The Pilgrim’s Progress from our friends at Logos Theatre, and the live drama Never Forsaken by Bob Jones University’s drama team.

This event, generously sponsored by AdelFi Christian Banking, is free for registered 7th–12th grade students—and includes Ark admission for them, plus a 20% admission discount for their immediate families or chaperones—so be sure to register today.

Learn more about our partner school, Appalachian Bible College, on their website.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
