Answers Media—New and Improved!

The popular Answers Media section of our website is undergoing a major revision. Not only will the new page be more visually appealing; it will also be—more importantly—easier to use and filled with more powerful features!

First, for those unfamiliar with Answers Media, it’s the section of the website where we post a whole array of media files, including each episode of Answers . . . with Ken Ham; our life-changing, 60-second mini-dramas; the popular Video On Demand archive (where you can watch full-length Answers in Genesis DVDs for free on your computer in segments); and cartoon images from the After Eden and CreationWise galleries .

Don’t worry—we’re still offering all of that content, free, to every user of the website (and more content than ever from our archives). But now you can enjoy watching, listening to, and learning from our media files in a whole new way!

With our new media player, you will be able to search our entire media database for files, then add individual files—radio programs, mini-dramas, video clips and DVD segments, even images—into a playlist. Many of the items are downloadable, too. You can also rate the media items to let us know what you think.

But even better than reading about these new features is trying it out yourself. So why wait? Visit the new and improved Answers Media right now, and stay for a while—even share some of the Bible-affirming, audiovisual content with your friends and family.

Don’t forget that you can purchase your favorite edifying DVDs (so you can watch it away from your computer, on your big-screen TV, etc.)—and consider making a donation. Your God-guided support allows us to keep this free media—as all the free content on our website—available not only to you, but also to those who visit our site each day searching for answers.

Feature of the Month

Last month, we took a look at the online resources section of the site, which offers free online books and booklets. This month, we’re highlighting our online study guides—free guides that complement our books by offering study questions, individual and group activities, terms to know, related Scriptures, supplementary articles, and more to enhance your reading and learning experience.

What’s in Store for this Month?

New this month in the Answers Bookstore are the first two parts of an exciting, three-part, Bible-based history curriculum. A very special collaboration by Answers in Genesis and Diana Waring—one of today’s most-loved “history evangelists”—brings you an unparalleled history curriculum! These top-quality history textbooks start at the beginning—roughly 6,000 years ago. Unlike the “politically correct,” evolution-influenced public school curriculum, this biblically-based curriculum shows students the real history of the world!

Volume 1, Ancient Civilizations & the Bible, is available for pre-order now and presents a panorama of world history spanning from 4004 BC to AD 29, exploring creation, the Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the rise of civilizations from Mesopotamia to Rome.

Volume 2, Romans, Reformers, Revolutionaries, studies a tumultuous time in history (AD 30–1799) when the Church explodes throughout the world, uncharted regions are explored, distant cultures are united, etc. That will be in the store in June.

The final volume, World Empires, World Missions, World Wars, will be released early next year and will cover history since 1800.

If history is a favorite field of yours or if you have young ones studying history, make sure you own history texts that comport with the true history of the Bible! Visit the History Revealed Complete Set page to preorder the textbooks and supplemental materials!

Question of the Month

Reader M.S. from Minnesota writes to ask us:

My 3rd grade daughter is going to do a biography on a scientist. Can you give us the names of prominent creation scientists who may be interesting options? Thanks.

Sure thing! Our popular creation scientists list covers both well-known, highly regarded modern scientists who accept the biblical account of creation and scientists of the past who accepted Genesis as history.

You and your daughter can browse the lists and follow the links to read biographies of many of the scientists and their work. Take a look and we’re confident you and your daughter will find at least one scientist whose work and testimony interest you!

Not only that, but if you or anyone you know is a credentialed scientist who accepts the Genesis account of creation, you or they can let us know using the form on this creation scientists page.

Stay tuned for next month’s question, or ask one of your own!
